"Physically, the book itself is soft bound in a light blue color with a graphic on the cover. It is printed on glossy paper throughout the 294 pages and a few figures are interspersed in the text throughout the volume, which facilitates an easy flow of reading. Each book chapter is organized with cited references at the end. Overall, the volume represents a novel introduction to a body of research that all mental health professionals should be familiar with as we serve a global, diverse population. The book is informative, interesting, and offers insight to complex ethical and conceptual issues that become clearer as the reader learns about clinical decision making in settings with non-Western values and customs. The process of change begins with awareness, so educational non-traditional mental health texts, such as this volume, remain important for the growth of global mental health care." --Lena Dobson, Ph.D. Independent Practice
