About this work

Description

"Mental Health: Pasts, Current Trends and Futures (published by Orient BlackSwan) offers a number of remarkable illustrated case studies from different areas of the world and across periods in time. Each one sheds light on some of the many motivations and innovations in the field of mental health, and analyses the range of barriers and opportunities that continue to impact this complex area of work. The book is trilingual with English, Portuguese and Hindi translations side by side. The text for each chapter is complemented by specially chosen photographs, prints and other visual records, drawn from a variety of libraries and repositories including Wellcome Collection and the WHO Picture Library. The book features contributions from many world-leading experts and organisations in the field of mental health, including the WHO and the World Bank, and is jointly produced by the Centre for Global Health Histories (which is owned by York's Department of History) and the Centre for Chronic Diseases and Disorders."--From publisher. https://www.york.ac.uk/history/global-health-histories/publications-outreach/mental-health-publication/
