Global Mental Health and Neuroethics: Global Mental Health in Practice

Editat de Dan J. Stein, Ilina Singh
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 2020
Global Mental Health and Neuroethics explores conceptual, ethical and clinical issues that have emerged with the expansion of clinical neuroscience into middle- and low-income countries. Conceptual issues covered include avoiding scientism and skepticism in global mental health, integrating evidence-based and value-based global medicine, and developing a welfarist approach to the practice of global psychiatry. Ethical issues addressed include those raised by developments in neurogenetics, cosmetic psychopharmacology and deep brain stimulation. Perspectives drawing on global mental health and neuroethics are used to explore a number of different clinical disorders and developmental stages, ranging from childhood through to old age.


  • Synthesizes existing work at the intersection of global mental health and neuroethics
  • Presents the work of leading practitioners of global mental health and neuroethics who address clinical issues
  • Looks at clinical decision-making in settings with non-Western values and customs
  • Covers patient empowerment, human rights, cognitive enhancement, and more

Recenzii

"Physically, the book itself is soft bound in a light blue color with a graphic on the cover. It is printed on glossy paper throughout the 294 pages and a few figures are interspersed in the text throughout the volume, which facilitates an easy flow of reading. Each book chapter is organized with cited references at the end. Overall, the volume represents a novel introduction to a body of research that all mental health professionals should be familiar with as we serve a global, diverse population. The book is informative, interesting, and offers insight to complex ethical and conceptual issues that become clearer as the reader learns about clinical decision making in settings with non-Western values and customs. The process of change begins with awareness, so educational non-traditional mental health texts, such as this volume, remain important for the growth of global mental health care." --Lena Dobson, Ph.D. Independent Practice
