Disparities in Psychiatric Care
This book offers evidence-based clinical approaches for understanding disparities in the provision of mental-health services in the U.S. and other industrialized nations. Chapters address the availability and barriers to care among various ethnic populations and the roles of their cultures, languages, and religions as they affect diagnostic and treatment approaches. Issues related to special populations such as migrants, refugees, incarcerated individuals, and the homeless are discussed. The book also addresses issues related to gender, sexual orientation, and age. Brief sections on training, education, and policy will lay the foundation for assessing evidence-based approaches and outcomes in these diverse populations.

From Skepticism to Competence
"While many doctors can examine the body for cut-and-dry data-a cardiologist can take a scan of the heart, an endocrinologist can measure the hormones in your blood, an oncologist can locate a tumor--psychiatrists are in a unique position: the only way to know someone's mind is through their own account of it. In this ethnography, sociologist Mariana Craciun follows a group of young medical students studying psychiatry as they go through training in psychotherapy. Their instructors, experienced psychotherapists, introduce approaches designed to uncover the inner workings of the mind of each patient, a dramatic departure from the students' earlier focus on the brain's chemical functions and the drugs that treat them. Despite the uncertainty endemic to psychotherapeutic approaches, Craciun shows us how students transform from psychotherapy skeptics into believers. Ultimately, Craciun illuminates widespread conflicts at the intersection of professional authority, uncertainty, and expertise, as we see how professionals come to rethink the goals and purpose of their jobs when they acknowledge the uncertain outcomes of their work"--

Understanding Physician-Pharmaceutical Industry Interactions
Physician-pharmaceutical industry interactions continue to generate heated debate in academic and public domains, both in the United States and abroad. Despite this, recent research suggests that physicians and physicians-in-training remain uninformed of the core issues and are ill-prepared to understand pharmaceutical industry promotion. Furthermore, few medical curricula address this issue, despite warnings of the imperative need to address this gap in the education of tomorrow's physicians. There is a vast medical literature on this topic, but no single, concise resource. This book aims to fill that gap by providing a resource that explains the essential elements of this subject. The text makes the reader more aware of the key ethical issues and allows the reader to be a more savvy interpreter of industry promotion, have a heightened awareness of the public and medical legal consequences of some physician-pharmaceutical industry interactions, and be better equipped to handle real-life encounters with industry.
