Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry

The Struggle Against Racism

By: Dr Suman Fernando,Suman Fernando

Black and minority ethnic communities lack confidence in mental health services', according to the National Service Framework for Mental Health published by the Department of Health in 1999. Cultural Diversity, Mental Health and Psychiatry examines how and why this situation has come about, and makes specific practical, often surprising, suggestions for changing the status quo. In his latest and most critical analysis, Suman Fernando reflects on the current situation in light of his own personal experience, academic research and anecdotal reports. He weaves together themes of immense importance for the future of psychiatry and mental health services in a multi-cultural setting, exploring: * the nature of racism and its permeation into mental health services * the inside story of the struggle against racism in statutory and voluntary sectors of the mental health system * the history of psychiatry and the role of spirituality, holistic thinking, psychotherapy and Asian traditions of medicine. Trainees, practitioners, and managers of mental health services will profit from the practical application of Fernando's latest ideas, and students and academics will benefit from his theoretical guidance.

Forensic Psychiatry, Race and Culture

By: Dr Suman Fernando,Suman Fernando,David Ndegwa,Melba Wilson

Forensic psychiatry is the discipline which distinguishes the 'mad' from the 'bad', but are its values inherently racist? Why are individuals from non-Western backgrounds over-represented statistically in those diagnosed with schizophrenia and other serious illnesses? The authors argue that the values on which psychiatry is based are firmly rooted in ethnocentric Western culture, with profound implications for individual diagnosis and systems of care. Through detailed exploration of the history of psychiatry, current clinical issues and present public policy, this powerful book traces the growth of a system in which non-conformity to the prevailing cultural norms risks alienation and diagnosis of mental disorder.

Parenting for Humans

How to Parent the Child You Have, As the Person You Are

By: Dr. Emma Svanberg

You will learn why you parent the way you do, how to grow into your own parenting role, and ultimately, how to parent the unique child you have." —Dr. Becky Kennedy, clinical psychologist, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Good Inside This is not a parenting book (it's a book for parents), exploring what we bring to the parenting journey and how we can gain confidence in ourselves not just as parents, but as whole human beings. There's always that moment as a parent when you feel like no matter how hard you're trying, you just can't get it "right." But the fact is, parenting is hard and once we know this and why, we can forgive ourselves for finding it a struggle, and start to look for the things that make parenting a joy. As well as learning to parent ourselves, it will show us how to parent the child we actually have, not a textbook version, but our complicated, messy child with their own powerful needs. And by tuning into their language, learning how to hold them, not mold them, we can really start enjoying them for the funny and unique human beings that they are. With the right support and guidance, we can all totally do this parenting thing and grow a positive and loving relationship that will last forever.
