Principles of Social Psychiatry

The revised and up-to-date 2nd Edition of Principles of Social Psychiatry still remains focused on social psychiatry and the social origins of mental disorders, but has also been updated to address newer topics such as the impact of globalization, migration, mass movement of people across the globe, technology, and disasters, especially man-made ones. Written by leaders in the field and fully revised with a greater emphasis on social causation and social outcomes, this authoritative textbook is essential for any professionals in this complex and fascinating field of psychiatry.
