"This book offers the first comprehensive presentation of the sociology of mental health and illness - one that includes original, contemporary contributions by experts in the relevant aspects of the field. Divided into three sections, the chapters cover the general perspectives in the field, the social determinants of mental health, and current policy areas affecting mental health services." "A Handbook for the Study of Mental Health is designed for classroom use in the fields of sociology, social work, human relations, human services, and psychology. With its nontechnical style and comprehensive overview of the historical, social, and institutional frameworks for understanding mental health and illness, the text is suitable for advanced undergraduate or lower-level graduate students."--Jacket.
