Description

This international �survey defines mental health as a basic human right, and tracks the emergence of mental health prevention and promotion as a global priority. Locating mental illness within a cycle of negative causes and effects affecting human quality of life, the editors identify modern policy barriers to promotion/prevention initiatives, particularly the favoring of the biomedical health model by major stakeholders. �The book�s selection of successful programs from diverse countries displays a lifespan approach, emphasizing the centrality of interdisciplinary educational settings in providing primary and secondary prevention and promotion interventions, and the ongoing fight against �missing financial investigations, �discrimination and stigma. Together, these papers make a forceful argument for rights- based responses to worldwide mental health needs as part of the commitment �toward global human rights and long-term development goals. Included in the coverage: ��� �Mental health priorities around the world. ��� �Social determinants of mental health. ��� �Mental health and stigma: aspects of anti-stigma interventions. ��� �Promoting social and�emotional wellbeing and responding� to mental health problems in � � �schools. ��� �The promotion and delivery of mental health services in primary care settings. ��� �Economic evaluation of mental health promotion and mental illness prevention. Bringing to the fore public health concerns that are too often marginalized,�Global Mental Health is necessary reading for health professionals, health and clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, medical sociologists, and policymakers.Typham this is the title: Global Mental Health Prevention and Promotion
