Colonialism and Transnational Psychiatry
This book focuses on the Ranchi Indian Mental Hospital, the largest public psychiatric facility in colonial India during the 1920s and 1930s. It breaks new ground by offering unique material for a critical engagement with the phenomenon of the ‘indigenisation’ or ‘Indianisation’ of the colonial medical services and the significance of international professional networks. The work also provides a detailed assessment of the role of gender and race in this field, and of Western and culturally specific medical treatments and diagnoses. The volume offers an unprecedented look at both the local and global factors that had a strong bearing on hospital management and psychiatric treatment at this institution.
Zeitgenössische Theaterpädagogik

Emergency Psychiatry in a Changing World
Hardbound. Emergency Psychiatry in a Changing World is a compilation of selected topics presented at the 5th World Congress of the International Association for Emergency Psychiatry held on October 1998 in Belgium.

It has been found that most psychiatric emergencies are triggered by mental breakdown of patients suffering from various psychiatric disorders caused by a series of crisis situations that have to do with familial, social and psychosocial problems. The psychiatric staff is faced with a situation where they have to set up adequate care structures to deal with these new problems. Drug addicts, homeless persons, victims of macrosocial disasters (earthquakes, plane crashes, terrorist attacks, civil wars), and the daily victims of violence (muggings, holdup, rapes) are few
