Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
Sociocultural Issues in Psychiatry will enable readers to understand the influence of culture on psychiatric practice, utilize advanced techniques to address clinical cultural impasses, and recognize their personal cultural influences and biases and how these might impact psychiatric care. This book is synchronized with DSM-5, and contains case examples throughout the text with recommendations on how to navigate a variety of clinical situations.
MoreLong description:
As the demographics shift within the US population, the importance of culture on mental health diagnosis and treatment has become critical for education and clinical training in psychiatry. While it's impossible to gain an in-depth understanding of every culture, clinicians need to have the skills and knowledge required to provide culturally respectful care for an increasingly diverse clinical population. By explaining fundamental concepts in cultural psychiatry using a case-based format, clinicians and educators in the mental health fields will be able to reduce cultural clashes and unproductive clinical encounters. Although similar books have focused on providing guidelines for working with discrete populations (e.g., African Americans, Asian Americans, LGBTQ), the purpose of Sociocultural Issues in Psychiatry is to enhance clinicians' knowledge and skills by translating theory into practice across diverse patient populations and clinical contexts. Mental health clinicians at all levels, trainees, or practitioners, will benefit from the content and education provided in this book.
This is a high-quality book that discusses a topic that is underrepresented in mental healthcare. To my knowledge, there are few books that provide a comprehensive review of sociocultural issues in mental health. The best aspects of this book stem from the fact that it is written by experts in the field. The flow of the chapters is intuitive and linear, which makes the book easy to follow. The use of extensive references and resources makes it easy to access further reading.
