Description:
This book investigates the impact of racism (both conscious and unconscious) in mental health settings, covering both individual clinical encounters and the broader picture of service provision. The authors offer insights into manifestations of racism in contemporary Britain; racial and cultural identity and the significance of these in psychotherapy; and the inequalities in provision of mental health services to minority ethnic communities. They consider the problems of racism and mental health, not in isolation but in the larger context of cultural difference and social inequalities, and also on the level of human relationships. Bringing together the experiences of mental health professionals and also incorporating a service user's perspective, this thought-provoking book will prove useful and informative to practitioners in many areas of mental health work. It also provides many practical strategies for addressing racism and dealing with its effects in psychiatric work.
