Sociocultural Otherness and Minority Justice: A Study on China
Author: Hanna H. Wei
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811697523
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 283
Book Description
This book draws attention to the nonlegal, sociocultural aspects of justice for minorities in China. The primary objectives are threefold. The first is to present a tentative analysis of the lived realities of being ‘the other’ in China, with the aim of presenting a critical picture of the complex national context and identifying main concerns and key challenges. Six topics are covered - gender roles, health, class, intimacy, ethnicity and religion, and expression. The second objective is to explore the interaction between a wide range of factors and myriad systems that enable or hinder protection and justice for these groups, be they historical, political, social, or cultural, hoping to open up a rich domain of inquiry for those interested in to what extent and in what ways otherness may or may not survive in China. The third objective is to bring attention to new trends and developments, some are easily identifiable whereas others are less detectable, some are interrelated while others are relatively isolated, some are straightforward and others remain easily misinterpreted.

Stories of change in four countries

Publisher: World Health Organization
ISBN: 9240037225
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 44
Book Description
Uptake and implementation of WHO’s Mental Health Gap Action Programme Humanitarian Intervention Guide (mhGAP-HIG) has been limited in many settings despite interest and effort from humanitarian actors. According to global assessments, international agencies report a considerable need for further capacity development to implement the tool within their humanitarian health activities. In response, the mhGAP-HIG capacity-building project was initiated in 2018. This report partially assesses the impact of the mhGAP-HIG capacity-building project on individual programmes and at the organizational level through case studies that describe the work of agencies in four complex settings. In reviewing these four examples, the report also identifies key factors that support success in implementation, as well as challenges and lessons learned, which may be useful for informing future implementation of mhGAP-HIG by humanitarian actors working in emergency settings.

Innovations in Global Mental Health
Author: Samuel O. Okpaku
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 303057296X
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 2272
Book Description
Over the course of the last decade, political and mental entities at large have embraced global mental health: the idea that psychiatric health is vital to improved quality of life. Physicians globally have implemented guidelines recommended by the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) in 2007, thereby breaking down barriers to care and improving quality of life in areas where these practices have been implemented. Programs for training and education have expanded as a result. Clinicians benefit more from both local resources in some regions as well as in international collaboration and technological advancements. Even amidst all of these positive outcomes, clinicians still face some stumbling blocks. With worldwide statistics estimating that 450 million people struggle with mental, neuropsychiatric, and neurological disorders—25 percent of the world’s non-communicable disease burden—rising to these challenges prove to be no small feat, even in wealthy Western nations. Various articles and books have been published on global mental health, but few of them thoroughly cover the clinical, research, innovative, and social implications as they pertain to psychiatry; often, only one of these aspects is covered. A comprehensive text that can keep pace with the rapidly evolving literature grows more and more valuable each day as clinicians struggle to piece together the changes around the world that leave open the possibility for improved outcomes in care. This book seeks to boldly rectify this situation by identifying innovative models of service delivery, training, education, research funding, and payment systems that have proven to be exemplary in implementation and scalability or have potential for scalability. Chapters describe specific barriers and challenges, illuminating effective strategies for improved outcomes. This text is the first peer-reviewed resource to gather prestigious physicians in global mental health from around the world and disseminate their expertise in the medical community at large in a format that is updateable, making it a truly cutting-edge resource in a world constantly changed by medical, scientific, and technological advances. Innovations in Global Mental Health is the ultimate resource for psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, hospitalists, policy makers, and all medical professionals at the forefront of global mental health and its implications for the future.
