Critical psychiatry and mental health : exploring the work of Suman Fernando in clinical practice
\"Critical Psychiatry and Mental Health critically explores the current theory and practice of ethno-psychiatry and multicultural mental health practices and policies.

The Routledge International Handbook of Race, Culture and Mental Health
This handbook presents a thorough examination of the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, and culture in mental health - historical origins, subsequent transformations, and the discourses generated from past and present mental health and wellness practices.
The text demonstrates how socio-cultural identities including race, gender, class, sexual orientation, disability, religion, and age intersect with clinical work in a range of settings. Case vignettes and recommendations for best practice help ground each in a clinical focus, guiding practitioners and educators to actively increase their understanding of non-Western and indigenous healing techniques, as well as their awareness of contemporary mental health theories as a product of Western culture with a particular historical and cultural perspective. The international contributors also discuss ways in which global mental health practices transcend racial, cultural, ethnic, linguistic, and political boundaries.
The Routledge International Handbook of Race, Culture and Mental Health is an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike as it addresses the complexity of mental health issues from a critical, global perspective.

Transforming Managers
In the 1990s, considerable changes in the political and social world have impacted on the character of both public and private organizations. At a time of increased uncertainty and insecurity in these organizations, new ways of managing and being managed have emerged. Recognising that organizational life is part reflective and determined by dominant social discourses, factors of gender will inevitably be central to the dynamics of organizational change. This book addresses theoretical ideas and mythologies in the examination of gendered organizations. The need to examine men in relation to family, law and society in general is growing, and this book extends this interrogation to work and organizational life. It will be of interest to students in management studies, public sector management and those involved in public policy making as well as students and academics within gender studies and sociology.

Treating others as we treat ourselves: A qualitative study of the influence of psychotherapists’ mindfulness meditation practice on their psychotherapeutic work
Objectives
Research exploring how mindfulness is conceptualized and applied in Western psychotherapeutic settings is in its early stages. The current study examines the influence of psychotherapists’ personal practice of mindfulness meditation on their professional work.
Methods
Psychotherapists who identify as mindfulness teachers were interviewed about their motivation to practice mindfulness practice and how they apply it in both their personal lives and professional psychotherapeutic practice. Grounded theory was used to collect and analyze the data.
Results
The study's findings revealed themes relating to motivation, practices, and therapeutic application of mindfulness which differed among the therapists. Participants were motivated to practice mindfulness meditation based on a utilitarian approach or based on a wider approach, which comprised both a utilitarian and a more contemplative motivation to practice. Importantly, we found that how psychotherapists practiced mindfulness meditation, whether from a utilitarian or contemplative approach, was related to how they used and taught it in their psychotherapeutic practices.
Conclusions
The study's findings suggest a link between the personal and professional practice of mindfulness meditation by psychotherapists. Future research is needed to further investigate this link and to determine its impact on client outcomes.
