Book Review: Counseling for People with Severe Mental Illness - Theory and Case Study. Young, K.W., Commercial Press (Hong Kong), 2013
Abstract
Globally, severe mental illness (SMI) causes both short-term and long-term disabilities (Royal College of Psychiatrists, 2009). In China, there are about 16 million people with SMI (Phillips et al., 2009). Secondary handicaps due to social stigma are common which result in severe deprivation of community re-integration (Social Exclusion Unit, 2004). Such alarming situations further highlight the pressing needs of developing culturally sensitive counseling strategies and practices.
