Reviews
While there are other books covering global mental health topics, this book is unique in its focus on presenting global mental health trials comprehensively and clearly. The emphasis is on the disparities in mental health trials on a global scale and the necessity to improve this situation. Finally, it presents the information in an organized and thoughtful manner that leaves readers more knowledgeable in areas that are otherwise poorly defined. Doody's Notes
