Description
Book SynopsisMinorities face particular social strains, and these are often manifested in their overall mental health. In Israel, just under a quarter of the citizens are Arab Palestinians, yet very little has been published exploring the spectrum of mental health issues prevalent in this population.
Trade ReviewThe book will be a useful addition to clinical fields with potential to engage those of us working on mental health from more humanities-oriented positions.
