Bipolar In Order: Looking At Depression, Mania, Hallucination, And Delusion From The Other Side
Bipolar In Order: Looking at Depression, Mania, Hallucination, and Delusion from the Other Side defines success in a way that no one ever has. It challenges everything we believe about bipolar from how we define it to how we treat it, and details a clear path to a better life. By shattering the notions about the end goals of treatment, Bipolar In Order goes beyond the hope and encouragement found in his previous books, Bipolar Advantage and Depression Advantage. It helps people with mental conditions shift their thinking and behavior so that they can lead extraordinary lives. With chapters by doctors, therapists, and other professionals in complementary disciplines, this book challenges us all to reevaluate our preconceptions, practices, and definitions of successful outcomes when treating mental conditions. It asks every professional working in mental health to see the limits they place on themselves and their patients by not considering what more might be possible. In addition to detailing Results Worth Striving For and the beliefs that are in the way of them, Wootton presents an integrated approach for education, assessment, life planning, and treatment. The mental health field is plagued with the bigotry of low expectations. Far too many people are talking about changing the stigma, while creating the worst stigma of all–the idea that we are not capable of achieving greatness. Â – Bipolar In Order

The Mental Health of Refugees: Ecological Approaches To Healing and Adaptation Reviews
It is estimated that at least 33 million people around the world have been displaced from their homes by war or persecution. Numerous studies have documented high rates of psychological distress among these survivors of extreme violence and forced migration, yet very few have access to clinic-based mental health care. In any case, clinic-based services cannot adequately address the constellation of displacement-related stressors that affect refugees daily, whether in a new region of their homeland or a new country–stressors such as social isolation, the loss of previously valued social roles, poverty and a lack of employment opportunities, and difficulties obtaining education and medical care. Additionally, many refugees from non-western societies find western methods of psychiatric and psychological healing culturally alien or stigmatizing, and therefore underutilize such services.
This book brings together an international group of experts on the mental health of refugees who have pioneered a new approach to healing the psychological wounds of war and forced migration. Their work is guided by an ecological model, which, in contrast to the prevailing medical model of psychiatry and clinical psychology, emphasizes the development of culturally grounded mental health interventions in non-stigmatized community settings. The ecological model also prioritizes synergy with natural community resources to promote adaptation, prevention over treatment, the active involvement of community members in all phases of the intervention process, and the empowerment of marginalized communities to address their own mental health needs.
