This volume addresses gaps in the existing literature of global mental
health by focusing on the ethical considerations that are implicit in
discussions of health policy. In line with trends in clinical education
around the world today, this text is explicitly designed to draw out the
principles and values by which programs can be designed and policy
decisions enacted. It presents an ethical lens for understanding right
and wrong in conditions of scarcity and crisis, and the common
controversies that lead to conflict. Additionally, a focus on the mental
health response in "post-conflict" settings, provides guidance for
real-world matters facing clinicians and humanitarian workers today.
Global Mental Health Ethics fills a crucial gap for students in
psychiatry, psychology, addictions, public health, geriatric medicine,
social work, nursing, humanitarian response, and other disciplines.
