In this book two psychiatrists assess the psychological consequences of migration and prejudice for groups as diverse as West Indians, Turkish Cypriots and Hasidic Jews. The authors conclude that mental illness can be an intelligible response to disadvantage and prejudice.

In this classic text the authors examine the links between racism, psychological ill health and inadequate treatment of ethnic minorities. Through a series of case studies they discuss: * the psychological legacy of colonialism and slavery * the racist bias in psychiatric and psychological theory * diagnostic bias * the role of religion in mental health or illness * the value of anthropological and pschoanalytic insights. The concluding chapter in this edition reviews the development of 'transcultural psychiatry' and summarises changes in administration of the Mental Health Act.

PALGRAVE~MACMILLAN

MCQs are still widely used to assess medical students' knowledge. They are also very useful for self-assessment, allowing rapid movement through wide areas of knowledge.'MCQs in Psychiatry' provides 124 carefully worded multi-stem questions that not only test factual knowledge, but are also designed to ensure the application of knowledge by putting it into context. All answers are followed by clear explanations that emphasise the importance of turning theory into practice. There are no trick questions here; this is a book about the practice of psychiatry rather than exam technique.Conceived as a companion to 'The Textbook of Psychiatry' by Rees, Lipsedge and Ball, 'MCQs in Psychiatry' also stands alone as a comprehensive self-assessment tool, and goes beyond the scope of the Textbook in covering important aspects of clinical practice.

Work-related mental ill health, or 'stress' in the common shorthand, is the major health and safety issue for most employers in the Western world. In the UK alone more than 6.5 million working days are lost each year at a cost to companies of almost £400 million. Forward-looking organisations have been seeking not just to control these costs but to establish working systems that positively enhance mental health. This book draws on the expertise of a wide range of health professionals with practical experience of mental health in the workplace. Both clinical problems and organisational issues are addressed and many practical examples are given of what can be done in an occupational setting to benefit individuals and the companies they work for. This is a text written by practitioners not just for fellow practitioners but also for human resources and management professionals and a wide range of colleagues in business who are trying to grapple with this 21st-century 'epidemic'.
