Description

This unique collection of articles written by leading Chinese physicians and scientists is the first comprehensive report on mental health in China to appear since the founding of the People's Republic in 1949. The views expressed represent the current thinking on mental health planning and delivery -- views that have the backing of government and front-line mental health workers as well as of the academic community.
