"Human beings are social animals and social psychiatry is a key discipline within psychiatry across the globe. The impact of social factors on the genesis and perpetuation of mental illnesses and maintenance of wellbeing of individuals and families is well recognised. Exploring social factors is the key to understanding aetiology and developing therapeutic interventions. Social psychiatry has led to de-institutionalisation and setting up community mental health teams. This has further helped develop home treatments, early interventions, crisis interventions etc. In addition to social interventions at individual, family and community levels, social psychiatry has led the way in delivering recovery and improved social functioning. Furthermore, there is increasingly impressive evidence that social determinants and social factors affect biology of human beings and biology in turn influences social functioning of individuals. Inevitably social psychiatry encompasses the whole age range. From adverse childhood experiences to connected life in older age groups, social factors play a significant role in functioning of individuals. This book provides an overview of history and development of social psychiatry, the social world, social determinants, clinical conditions and the impact on special vulnerable groups followed by a description of social interventions-old and new followed by a critical overview of global mental health and the challenges across different parts of the world emphasising that one size does not fit all. Last chapter looks to the future of social psychiatry. This Textbook brings together a number of giants of social psychiatry and younger rising stars"--
