Recenzje

'The second edition of this impressive volume is timely, as in the UK and Europe we confront poverty, a conflict in Europe, and a major energy crisis … We can anticipate greater levels of poor health and health crises … Poverty and social adversity lead to premature mortality and poorer life chances and quality of life, including the development of mental illnesses. Furthermore those with mental illness encounter prejudice, stigma and discrimination, all of which mean people with mental illnesses face precarity and structural violence that deprives them of equal rights to benefit from societal opportunities and care systems … This book is a clarion call to all … We must do better to … promote inclusive public care systems in which those with mental illness realise their rights as citizens. Inclusive policy and practice are at the heart of actions that might transform dystopian complacency in mental health care and public mental health.' Kamaldeep Bhui, Professor of Psychiatry, University of Oxford
