Recenzii
An important collection of essays dedicated to highlighting systemic and contextual factors that may influence or hinder accessibility to psychotherapy as well as impact experiences in treatment. This book is a critical resource for anyone engaging in service work with individuals belonging to underserved and systemically marginalized groups.
Too many societal groups suffer from a lack of access to adequate mental health services. Too often, practitioners and policy makers fail to recognize the nature and scope of service needs, or lack awareness of what they might do to help address the problem. This book provides an excellent guide to identifying and assisting in addressing and resolving such difficulties. A broad range of chapters by experts in systemic, discriminatory, geographical, migratory, and age-related barriers to quality mental health care offer details and guidance. I highly recommend the volume to those concerned about assisting underserved diverse populations.
Louis Pasteur famously said that one should not ask those who suffer what is their country or what is their religion. Drs. Zimmerman, Barnett, and Campbell emphatically endorse this commitment to treating effectively all who suffer from mental disorders regardless of their socioeconomic status, ethnic/racial identity, sexual orientation, geographic location, religious affiliation, chronological age, national origin, and the like. A brilliant book that helps us see the 'invisible' and treat the 'underserved' among us. You will not read a more important mental health book than this!
I have spent my professional life working for the betterment of marginalized, disenfranchised, and underserved people. This book speaks to the heart of my values and purpose. Veterans, sexual minorities, people living in poverty, rural, international, ethnic and racial minorities and others are given voice. Readers become aware of barriers and challenges and importantly effective treatment plans tailored to these populations. I am thrilled that this book captures the spirit and resilience of these people and gives them visibility.
