Book SynopsisThe theme of the 18th World Congress of the International Association for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Allied Professions - IACAPAP - is Carrying Hope Between East and West for 3 C's Children, Cultures, Commitments. This book aims to focus on the effects of turmoil on children.
Trade ReviewThis volume of papers from the IACAPAP conference give the reader a flavor of critical, provocative and challenging work going on globally in the field of child and adolescent mental health. It is a fascinating account of the research, the setting up of programs, and the attempts to train workers in cultural areas far outside our usual zones of comfort. -- Rudy Oldeschulte, Metaphysical Online Reviews, Aug 25, 2009
The emergence of new nations and nationalities, the concurrent migration of diverse populations to foreign countries, and the persistence of conflict and war all strongly impact the mental health of children. In this sense, Culture and Conflict in Child and Adolescent Mental Health represents a timely contribution...Diversity of subject matter, geography, and analytic method represent this book's strong points. * Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic: A Journal for the Mental Health Professions *
