| Summary |
"This volume aims to bring up-to-date empirically derived knowledge on transcultural themes as they affect child and adolescent mental adjustment and to assist those seeking to understand and ameliorate the mental health problems of children and young people. First, the contributors address relevant general transcultural issues for child mental health (i.e., political turmoil, the effects of stigma, anthropological considerations, international adoptions, and the adjustment of specific immigrant groups). Second, the contributors address cultural aspects of specific child and adolescent mental health disorders. Third, the book covers the training of professionals in transcultural child psychiatry and the setting up of temporary interventions in war and conflict areas."--BOOK JACKET |
