OverviewThis Research Handbook is an essential guide to the design and use of research in mental health policy from a global perspective. It focuses on public mental health, as well as quasi-public and private policies in nations with significant private sectors. Expert contributors explore key mental health policies pertinent to psychiatric treatment and care, as well as those concerned with substance abusers and forensic patients. Organised into five parts, the Research Handbook addresses a wide array of mental health questions involving particular interventions and policies, ranging from psychiatric deinstitutionalization to system building, mental health law, and the human rights of mental patients. In addition, it considers the pros and cons of both established and emerging research methodologies, including geographic information systems and predictive analytics, and ways that these can be effectively integrated with policy making systems, along with their political, economic, and socio-cultural environments. This authoritative Research Handbook will be a key resource for scholars and students of mental health policy, social policy and welfare states. It will also be beneficial for policymakers and practitioners involved in public and private mental health programs. Full Product DetailsAuthor: Christopher G.

Hudson Index 297Reviews'One of the most important lessons of six decades of community mental health practice is that a shelf full of evidence-based intervention manuals does you little good without quality mental health policy to put them into action. Yet the empirical study of mental health policy has lagged far behind the study of interventions. This book constitutes a giant step toward closing the gap. This book has numerous virtues. The international perspective will be a valuable corrective for those whose view of mental health policy is limited to their own nation, which tends to be a particular problem in the United States. Readers will find the specific research topics, dissemination and implementation of services and the sociology of stigma, to be directly applicable to their practice. Perhaps the most important contribution of the book is its grasp of the complex nature of mental health policy research, which takes as its subject a system involving numerous interactions, nonlinearities and feedback loops, while playing out in an arena that affects millions of lives. Professor Hudson is uniquely qualified to grapple with this complexity, having been at the forefront of applying systems science to community mental health for three decades. Every mental health system should own at least one copy of the Research Handbook on Mental Health Policy, and preferably several.' -- Keith Warren, The Ohio State University, US Author InformationEdited by Christopher G.
