Culture permeates human activity the world over. In today's technological "global village," people from very different cultures are interacting more closely and more often than ever -- making it critical for clinicians to understand and incorporate cultural dimensions into their daily practices.
This volume offers a contemporary pragmatic understanding of how culture is inextricably intertwined with mental health and mental illness. 
In Chapter 1, the 17-member GAP Committee on Cultural Psychiatry begins by discussing the history (particularly within the last two decades) and scope of culture in clinical psychiatry. 
In Chapter 2, the authors describe 11 selected cultural variables that strongly influence clinical work: ethnic identity, race, gender and sexual orientations, age, religion, migration and country of origin, socioeconomic status, acculturation and acculturative processes, language, dietary influences, and education. 
In Chapter 3, the authors present a brief history and detailed analysis of the Cultural Formulation, the newest instrument for ensuring thorough clinical assessments, explaining its clinical use based on DSM-IV guidelines.
In Chapter 4, the authors integrate the 11 cultural variables described in Chapter 2 with the use of the Cultural Formulation described in Chapter 3, producing an extraordinary cross-section of case vignettes: ? How the son of Irish Catholic immigrants struggles to reconcile old-country traditions with life in modern American society? The sometimes painful and always complex process and outcomes of acculturation for a Pakistani Muslim family who had come to the United States for only a temporary period but ended up staying permanently? Diagnosing social phobia in an Asian American, whose traditional reticence must be viewed within the context of Asian culture ? Loss of country of origin and family ties as catalysts leading to significant behavioral changes and severe depressive symptoms in an African immigrant tribesman from Kenya and the cultural context of his recovery? The interplay of gender, age, and religion with developmental issues, personality organization, and symptom development for a "good Catholic girl" ? The existential, interpersonal, and clinical experiences of a Protestant minister from predominantly Catholic Ecuador, who came to the United States as pastor of an Hispanic church in a predominantly white city 
In Chapter 5, the authors conclude with a summary and suggestions regarding the complex issues raised by a thorough cultural assessment.
Enhanced by a detailed index, this powerful work meets the significant -- and rapidly growing -- need for psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to understand the role of culture in psychiatry and to integrate this knowledge into their practice so that they can provide the most comprehensive and useful care to their patients.

Cultural Assessment in Clinical Psychiatry (GAP REPORT (GROUP FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF PSYCHIATRY))

Group for the Advancement

In this work, the Child Psychiatry Committee of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry has compiled the conclusions of new research, under publicized studies, and hard-to-find governmental reports on the development of psychopathology in children. Only through such longitudinal studies can we examine early personality traits and behavior that may lead to serious psychopathology later in life and identify effective prevention methods. 
This report ? Reviews several studies of early therapeutic school-based prevention programs such as Head Start, the New Haven School Development Program, Project Giant Step, Success for All, and preschool intervention programs? Examines issues related to the effects of environmental stress and of medical issues on developing psychopathology? Reviews the effects of mentally ill parents on a child's development, including both stress and heredity factors? Presents studies of the outcome of pathology for children with specific psychiatric diagnoses, such as in children with chronic medical illnesses, childhood traumas, mood and anxiety disorders, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, conduct disorders, and eating disorders? Considers the effects of race, gender, and comorbidity on later development of pathology? Provides insight into the long-term effects of a child's disorder on other family members and presents research that helps us understand which childhood mental health problems children outgrow and which lead to later psychopathology 
This invaluable resource consolidates current knowledge about the factors promoting or deterring children's development toward healthy adulthood. It is especially helpful in assisting practitioners with clinical decision making.

Unique in its conceptualization, execution, and value to the reader, People With Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System: Answering a Cry for Help is based upon thousands of letters sent to Dear Abby by mentally ill individuals and their families who have been involved with the criminal justice system. Selected stories were turned into case studies by the Committee on Psychiatry and the Community Committee Members of the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry, each designed to illustrate a specific type of clinical, programmatic, or systemic approach that can be utilized in any setting to help these individuals avoid unnecessary incarceration, receive appropriate interventions, and make progress toward recovery. Although psychiatrists and other mental health professionals will find the book relevant and engaging, it has been written at a level that the layperson can understand and includes a listing of criminal justice/mental health online resources indispensable to this audience, increasing its potential reach and thus its impact. Most important of all, People With Mental Illness in the Criminal Justice System: Answering a Cry for Help is an informed call for compassionate change and a prescription for advocacy for the mentally ill in the criminal justice setting.
