Description
`Overall the book is a useful addition to the literature on BME (black and minority ethnic) mental health and is appropriate for practitioners working in all areas of mental health. The key issues raised and recommendations made for developing a more appropriate and culturally competent CAMHS (child and adolescent mental health services) reflect proposals for improving mental health services to adult BME communities.'
