Handbook of Multicultural Mental Health
This chapter provides highlights of historical studies on race, ethnicity, and the epidemiology of psychiatric disorders as well as discussion and data from recent studies such as the Collaborative Psychiatric Epidemiology Surveys. Historically, comparisons of psychiatric disorder among racial/ethnic groups started with records of hospitalizations, progressed to use of symptom scales, and finally to use of diagnostic interviews. Initial comparisons focused on studying Whites versus Blacks and then expanded to comparisons of Whites, African Americans, Asians, and Hispanics of all races. More recent studies differentiate ancestries by national origin with particular emphasis on cross-national comparisons and first-generation immigrants. Recent reported rates of disorders among various ethnic groups in the United States are also discussed. Together these studies have broadened and deepened our understanding of ethnic and ancestry differences in a range of psychiatric disorders.

One dimension that must be emphasized in this field is the contin uum that exists between social environment and cerebral development. This continuum consists of the physical and biological features of the two interacting systems: on one hand, the brain managed and con trol...
Adolescent Psychiatry, V. 26
Volume 26 of The Annals begins with essays that address the challenge of maintaining human connections in a biological century; Philip Katz focuses on the human encounter between therapist and patient whereas Vivian Rakoff emphasizes the continuing identity of the healer throughout history. Papers on adolescent development, which challenge readers to look beyond preconceived ideas, include Robert Galatzer-Levy's examination of adolescence as a social construction expressed in contradictory cultural narratives and Jack Drescher's exploration of the developmental narratives of gay men in order to illuminate the seeming invisibility of gay adolescents. A section dedicated to "Trauma, Violence, ...

The State of the Masses
Is the consciousness of Americans in the midst of dramatic transformation? Or do people think and feel much the same as they have always thought and felt? Do most people enjoy their work, or hate it? Is the American family being replaced by new institutional forms, or is it much the same as it was in the 1950's? Have material values been replaced by a "postmaterial consciousness" in a postindustrial society? Are Americans becoming more conservative, less conservative, or staying about the same? "State of the Masses" asks the important questions. Originally published in 1986, this prescient study evaluate the views of social critics, neo-conservatives, neo-Marxists, post-industrialists, and t...
