Foreword
Social psychiatry deals with the context that shapes mental health and mental illness. This is done on a macro level as exemplified by the work on how mental health and mental health problems are framed within the value system of a society with the core topic of discrimination and stigma as well as by epidemiological data like those currently widely debated on inequality and health and mental health. The mesolevel concerns key institutions in our societies such as schools, health and social services, housing, employment and legal situations and essentially how help for dealing with mental health problems and disabilities is organised and delivered in a community. The micro-level is dominated essentially by what happens between people with core topics such as therapeutic as well as family and peer communication and support. All these and more of our field’s fundamental issues will be dealt with in this book. As a textbook of social psychiatry, it provides insight into its scientific and political foundations, its core policies and practices and their evolvement to date. All along it also addresses current dynamics and future developments of social psychiatry
