| Summary: | This multidisciplinary volume provides an overview of refugee mental health problems and suggests approaches to intervention. It is impossible to isolate these problems from the context in which they arise, and as a result the book also provides information on demographics, history, epidemiology, policy formation, mental health services, training, and specific regional concerns. We hope that mental health professionals, scientists, and administrators who have had experience working with refugees will find this book to be . . . a source of new ideas and methods. We also hope that those readers who are encountering the problem of refugee mental health and well-being for the first time in reading this book will find a selective and timely introduction to the historical, conceptual, and professional dimensions of the problem.
