Epilogue: Where Next for Social Psychiatry? Dinesh Bhugra and Craig Morgan

"This should be of interest not only to those in the mental health
professions who are committed to the practice and investigation of
social psychiatry but to all who are engaged in the mental health
system irrespective of their theoretical persuasions."
(Transcultural Psychiatry, July 2011)

"Since it is claimed that depression is the fourth most common
cause of health-related disability, there is a perceived need for
effective psychological interventions that can be delivered within
the community on a large scale. Low-cost ways of reducing the
financial and human burden of common mental disorders are
thoroughly explored in this book."(International Journal of
Social Psychiatry, 2011)

"The chapter by Dinesh Bhugra and Susham Gupta on culture and
its influence on diagnosis and management could be a useful
free-standing training manual for mental health professionals
working in a cross-cultural or multicultural setting"
(International Journal of Social Psychiatry, 2011)
