Disasters
The issue of the mental health consequences of disasters is always timely, but, at present, its consideration serves a pressing need if one takes into account the great number of co-existing and super-imposed disasters occurring throughout the world. Taking Greece as an example, on top of the economic disaster that has produced serious mental health problems, the country is faced with a serious refugee problem produced by human-made disasters that have occurred elsewhere and produce serious mental health problems to the refugees and the host population alike. This volume deals with the mental health consequences of Natural Disasters, Human-made Disasters, and a third category, Economic Disasters. This volume will help contribute to more efficient management and mitigation of the mental health effects of such disasters.
Pakistan Earthquake 2005, the Day the Mountains Moved
October 2005 was the day the mountains moved in the North West Frontier Province of Pakistan and in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. This was the worst disaster to hit the region in over a century. Over 4 million people were affected by the earthquake, in one way or the other. The damage was immense, both physical and psychological. Disaster research in recent years has shown that large numbers of survivors with high trauma exposure are likely to develop Post-Trauma Stress Disaster which, unless treated, often persists beyond the first three years post disaster. This book records the experiences and perspectives of Pakistani psychiatrists, particularly a small group of volunteers associated with the Institute of Psycho-Trauma who worked with high risk vulnerable women and children. This volume also brings together an international perspective through contributions by disaster and trauma experts from around the world, and records their experiences gleaned from hands-on work to show how psycho-trauma can be dealt with effectively.
Religion and Psychiatry
Religion (and spirituality) is very much alive and shapes the cultural values and aspirations of psychiatrist and patient alike, as does the choice of not identifying with a particular faith. Patients bring their beliefs and convictions into the doctor-patient relationship. The challenge for mental health professionals, whatever their own world view, is to develop and refine their vocabularies such that they truly understand what is communicated to them by their patients. Religion and Psychiatry provides psychiatrists with a framework for this understanding and highlights the importance of religion and spirituality in mental well-being. This book aims to inform and explain, as well as to be ...
Recovery in Mental Health
Winner of Medical Journalists’ Association Specialist Readership Award 2010 Recovery is widely endorsed as a guiding principle of mental health policy. Recovery brings new rules for services, e.g. user involvement and person-centred care, as well as new tools for clinical collaborations, e.g. shared decision making and psychiatric advance directives. These developments are complemented by new proposals regarding more ethically consistent anti-discrimination and involuntary treatment legislation, as well as participatory approaches to evidence-based medicine and policy. Recovery is more than a bottom up movement turned into top down mental health policy in English-speaking countries. Recove...

Depressive Disorders
Depressive disorders have profound social and economic consequences, owing to the suffering and disability they cause.

The format remains a systematic review of each topic, evaluating published evidence, compl...
