ENDORSEMENTS "A work of extraordinary scope and grace, this book reflects Bhugra's rare blend of expertise and humility, revealing how culturally grounded understanding can humanize and transform global approaches to mental health." --Margaret S. Chisolm, Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Johns Hopkins University; coauthor of Systematic Psychiatric Evaluation "This is a very valuable book that draws out global principles while leaving their implementation to local decisions. It is practical and wide ranging and always keeps humanity and human beings at its heart." --Nigel Crisp, Member of the UK House of Lords; author of Health Is Made at Home, Hospitals Are For Repairs and Turning the World Upside Down "The World Health Organization used the motto 'Nations for Mental Health' during the mid '90s. 'Mental Health for All Nations' is a better one because it highlights equity and accessibility. No mental patient should be left behind, because it negatively impacts the health of the community at large. This book provides a way forward in a culturally relativist manner.

" --Driss Moussaoui, Founder, Ibn Rushd University Psychiatric Centre; Past President, World Association of Social Psychiatry and World Federation for Psychotherapy "A must-read for global mental health scholars, this engaging book presents an insightful, balanced view of the characteristics that clinical settings require to deliver strong mental health care across various countries and cultures." --Maria A. Oquendo, Ruth Meltzer Professor and Chairman of Psychiatry, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania.
