Böcker av Donna R. Kemp

This international handbook is the first to analyze mental health policies systematically across a variety of both developed and developing countries. The work considers the treatment of the mentally ill and mentally retarded, mentally disordered offenses, questions of substance abuse, deinstitutionalization, funding, and consumer rights.

This extensive overview charts the fluctuating course of mental health policy in the United States from colonial times to today.

Synthesizing mental health history, law, policy, and treatment, Donna Kemp highlights mental health and reproductive technology and research, prevention issues, identification of and intervention in cases of mental disability, and drug treatment and experimentation issues.

This unique book examines how mental health issues impact the workplace, and explores ways to create more mentally healthy work environments.
