Mental Health and Poverty

This volume explores the evidence that there is a causal relationship between poverty and negative mental health outcomes and addresses the scientific, policy, and clinical implications of the findings. In addition to these primary goals, the authors also aim to use the discussion to articulate the nature and principles of modern social psychiatry in clinical practice, which has been overshadowed by the biological and psychological traditions despite significant research.
