Following World War II and the exposure of the concentration camps, psychiatry turned its attention to a vast range of cultural concerns with results that seemed to indicate a decline of stigma over time. However, it is now clear that whatever drives prejudices, especially in the case of anti-Semitism, was just dormant and perhaps not fully understood. Hate crimes and anti-Semitism broad recently re-emerged in Europe, and the United States followed shortly thereafter. The US Federal Bureau of investigation reports that New York City, which is still considered the most Jewish-friendly region in the US, experienced a 22% spike in anti-Semitic hate crimes in 2018 alone, with more extremes in other regions of the country. Neo-Nazi groups have grown stronger in the United States and abroad, often resulting in organized acts of violence. The recent Tree of Life synagogue shooting in Pittsburgh, PA demonstrated that these acts are not limited to one-on-one interactions, butsometimes as prolific, large-scale act. The medical community is not immune from biases either. The Cleveland Clinic recently fired a young doctor after she publicly declared her wishes to inject Jewish patients with lethal substances, which is only one of many hateful comments she made on social media over the course of several years. Psychiatrists in particular grapple with this as they try to serve patients of both Jewish and non-Jewish descent who struggle to process these acts of hate. Despite all of this, there is no training and no resource to guide medical professionals through these challenges. The editors of the recent Springer book, Islamophobia and Psychiatry, recognize this gap in the literature and seek to develop another high-quality text to meet this need. Written by expert clinicians in global regions where these incidents are mostprevalent, the book seeks to be neither political nor opinion-based; instead, the text takes an innovative cross-cultural psychiatric interaction, similar to what was done with Springer’s new Islamophobia book. Coverage will range from foci on the social psychiatric aspects of anti-Semitism to how it may in turn infuse clinical encounters between patients and clinicians. Written by experts in this area, the insight and expertise of psychiatrists from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds will focus on what psychiatrists need to know to combat the negative mental health impact that increasingly rise out of this particular phenomenon. Such a multi-cultural psychiatric approach has never been taken before for this topic. This discourse is the foundation for the primary goal of this book: to develop the tools needed to improve clinical outcomes for patients. Hence, this book aims to present an updated, comprehensive bio-psychosocial perspective on anti-Semitism at the interface of clinical psychiatry.

This book provides a thorough, comprehensive, and accessible reference for all the major Eastern faith traditions and their intersection with psychiatry. Understanding Eastern religion is of paramount value to all mental health professionals, as there is a growing emphasis on religion and spirituality as a part of clinical cultural competence interventions, predominantly in North America and Europe. Additionally, there is rising membership in Eastern, Asian, and non-Semitic faith traditions in North America and Europe. Hence, more patients and clinicians belong to these non-Western faiths than ever before.The volume is divided into five parts. Part 1 covers general issues, including principles of culture, religion, and spirituality in psychiatry, spirituality across the lifespan, child rearing, practice and faith, and how death and dying is approached in these Eastern traditions. Part 2 covers specific Eastern religions and spiritual traditions, including basic principles and research-based clinical aspects of Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Jainism, as well as Confucian philosophical ideas. Part 3 attempts to apply the importance of cultural humility to perspectives on the Eastern Traditions from Western Psychiatry. These include Christian, Muslim, and Jewish perspectives, not of expertise, but of explorations in learning. Part 4 covers specific social psychiatric perspectives, including the psychiatric harm that can come from caste divisions and cults posing as religions, but closes with a perspective on the Eastern connections to the relatively unknown, but unifying, Omnist perspective.All mental health professionals seeking to expand their understanding of the essential belief systems of various Eastern religions and their connection with mental health will find Eastern Religions, Spirituality, and Psychiatry an invaluable resource.

This book is a second edition of the 2019 volume of Islamophobia and Psychiatry. This necessary update conveys how important and challenging the subject matter remains. The first edition of this book came at a time when Islamophobia was rising in the United States and elsewhere, and the adverse mental health repercussions were significant: disparagement of Muslims, Muslim fears of asking for help from psychiatry, undue fear of Muslims by others, and increased anxiety for Muslims, amongst others. Since then, Islamophobia has waxed and waned. Islamophobia plays a major role in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas, and the psychological trauma ripples out into the world.Attention to Islamophobia in this volume is thereby applied to different countries and from different religious perspectives. The focus is on psychiatric aspects, including new topics such as a Hindu psychiatrist’s perspective, burnout in Muslims, learning the clinical influence of religion, a new psychiatric process to negotiate international conflict, and a unique dialogue between a Muslim psychiatrist and a Jewish psychiatrist, moderated by a Christian psychiatrist. Notably, the editors were also able to secure a rare, but needed Palestinian perspective on collective trauma from a psychiatrist with lived experiences in the West Bank. Valued chapters from the first edition have been retained, and revised where deemed necessary.First and foremost, this is a vital expert resource for all clinicians and clinicians in training who may encounter patients and colleagues struggling with Islamophobia, including for adults and child psychiatrists, psychologists, primary care physicians, counselors, social workers, nurses, administrators, and others. Also important is that it should be useful for anyone concerned with the adverse repercussions of Islamophobia. It is the fifth volume, following volumes on Islamophobia, Antisemitism, Christianity, and the Eastern traditions, in an unprecedented series on religions, spirituality and psychiatry. Taken all together, they present a model process and guideline for a comprehensive interfaith consideration of our various mental health challenges and elusive solutions. This particular volume is designed to address our ethical principle of helping to improve the mental health of the community, in this case, Muslim communities in particular. There is hardly a more cogent, potent, and urgent global social psychiatric issue.
