Beskrivning
Mental health, including widespread depression, a high suicide rate and institutionalisation, is a major problem in Japan. At the same time, the mental health care system in Japan has historically been more restrictive than elsewhere in the world. This book looks at the challenges of mental health care in Japan, including problems such as the institutionalisation of long-term patients in mental hospitals. The book discusses the latest legislation to deal with mental health care, and explores the various ideas and practices concerning rehabilitation into the workforce, the community and service user groups that empower the mentally ill. It goes on to look at the social stigma attached to the mentally ill in Japan and Britain, which touches upon the issue of counselling those with post traumatic stress after the recent earthquake.

Recensioner i media

"This impressive multi-authored work comprehensively examines the current state of the mental health system in Japan. It furnishes an excellent overview of the present situation and the multifaceted issues facing the country... It is often difficult to find good quality analysis of these issues in English and this impressive new work fills an important void with first rate contributions and analysis from a wide range of Japanese and foreign professionals and practitioners. The editors and authors deserved to be commended for producing this insightful and cutting-edge work." - Sean Curtin; The Japan Society, May 2013.
