Determinants of Minority Mental Health and Wellness

From the reviews:

"The 18 chapters of this volume examine and critique current research as part of their discussion of the methods and issues that concern mental health assessment and treatment of minorities. … Throughout, the authors address each topic by offering broader, often theoretical approaches to the question of ethnicity and what constitutes minority culture. … This volume will be a valuable resource for social workers, therapists, and anyone working in public health." (SciTech Book News, March, 2009)

"This book presents a comprehensive review of determinants of minority mental health and wellness from a multilevel perspective. … Graduate students and researchers/clinicians appear to be the intended audience. The book covers a wide range of important, specific issues and factors related to the determinants of minority mental health in the U.S." (Amy E Harley, Doody’s Review Service, May, 2009)
