Key Features
- It is a thought-provoking, single-resource book for practicing psychiatrists, makers of mental health laws and policies, government and administrative functionaries, social scientists, and persons with mental illness and their caregivers and families. The book provides a deep analytical critique of the Mental Health Laws in general and the Mental Health Care Act in particular, while apparently continuing to read under archaic baggage and mental misalignment with the contemporary science behind mental illness and psychiatry, thus perpetuating stigma and social exclusion.
- As a major outcome, this book offers a medical science-based conceptualization of an integrated approach to mental and physical illnesses.
