Sommario/riassunto

The authors consider how ethnicity is defined, and how the field of mental health has developed in the West according to Western concepts of health and well-being, and show how an understanding of the key practice issues and policy and academic debates can enable



professionals to develop and fine-tune their cultural competence.
