Opis: International Review of Psychiatry v.2 - C Nadelson, F Mak

International Review of Psychiatry, Volume 2, is the collaboration of the American Psychiatric Press, Inc., (APPI) and the worldwide network of eminent specialists of the World Psychiatric Association (WPA). This volume addresses issues that are increasingly impacting the practice of psychiatry and the lives of patients. Psychiatric practice is becoming more multicultural as a result of migration, tourism, and the lifting of barriers to services by the World Trade Organization. To be truly international, psychiatrists need a vantage point from which to view the panorama of international psychiatry. International Review of Psychiatry, Volume 2, provides that vantage point. -Section IAEconomic Aspects of Mental Health; Section Editors: Harold M.

"This book--and the promised series--demonstrates that the practice of psychiatry transcends differences in language and culture. Although psychiatric services are distributed inequitably around the world, psychiatry is a worldwide profession. I recommend this book highly to all American psychiatrists who are interested in breaking out of parochial boundaries."-- "American Journal of Psychiatry"Economic Aspects of Mental Health.
