Cultural factors play a very important role in the way psychiatric symptoms are presented to clinicians and how clinicians deal with them. This book brings together a wealth of current knowledge on cross-cultural psychiatry and offers theoretical and practical perspectives on the practice of psychiatry in multi-cultural Britain.This book will be of great interest to all health professionals who deal with patients from other cultures. Although aimed at psychiatrists, this volume will also be of great interest to nurses, psychologists, social workers, general practitioners and occupational therapists.
