Reviews for Social Justice, Social Discrimination, and Mental Health: Theory, Practice, and Professional Issues

“Social justice for patients who have suffered discrimination and those with mental illnesses is an essential part of the services for mental healthcare professionals who provide and plan care. Social justice lies at the heart of equity and ensuring that our patients get the services they deserve and will be able to use. Social justice, similarly, focuses on equity of funding for both research and service provision. This book provides a comprehensive account of issues that are likely to shape the future development in this area. The book also provides a focus on definitions of social justice and its impact on therapeutic interventions. Authors from various disciplines come together to share their learning and experiences to provide an overview which will be helpful for service planning and provision. Anyone with an interest in this topic will find this book a valuable addition to this important subject.” Afzal Javed, Immediate Past President World Psychiatric Association, Honorary Professor Institute of Applied Health Research, University of Birmingham, UK “Tribe and Bhugra have curated an impressive volume that serves as a well-researched accelerant to the burning problem of individualised critiques of inequity in the face of social injustice. The comfortable armchair of professional practice, however radical, is now in cinders, to be replaced by collective action to restructure our global society.” Hári Sewell, Director of HS Consultancy UK and Member of the Scientific Board of the ESRC Centre for Society and Mental Health “Most would agree that social justice is a crucial component of mental health care, however its consideration sometimes generates more heat than light. In this book, Tribe and Bhugra have brought together a diverse, and knowledgeable, range of authors to create a comprehensive, scholarly, and practical overview of social justice issues in mental health which will be of substantial value to clinicians and academics alike.” David Murphy, Professor of Clinical Psychology, University of Plymouth. 2019–2020 President of the British Psychological Society
