The Massachusetts General Hospital Textbook on Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health
Long considered important for professionals
working with minority and under-represented populations, cross-cultural
competency has become a requisite for all health care providers. As
society in the US increasingly diversifies, there is a crucial need to
prepare health care professionals to effectively treat this changing
population. The Massachusetts General Hospital Textbook on Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health addresses
the importance and relevance of cultural sensitivity in US mental
health. Prominent researchers and clinicians examine the cultural and
cross-cultural mental health issues of Native American, Latino, Asian,
African American, Middle Eastern, Refugee and LGBQT communities. The
discussion includes understanding the complexities in making mental
health diagnoses and the various meanings it has for the socio-cultural
group described, as well as biopsychosocial treatment options and
challenges. In understanding the specific populations, the analysis
delves into overarching concepts that may apply to specific populations
and to those at the intersection of multiple cultures.
An invaluable resource for mental health professionals, including clinicians, researchers, educators, leaders and advocates in the United States, The Massachusetts General Hospital Textbook on Diversity and Cultural Sensitivity in Mental Health provides the necessary understanding and insights for research and clinical practice in specific cultural and multicultural groups.
