Around the world, a vast number of children and adolescents suffer
from mental and neurological disorders and only a small proportion
of them receive adequate care. This is so in both developing and
developed countries. The need to raise awareness about this problem
and provide specific advice regarding their prevention and
treatment was identified as a priority for the World Psychiatric
Association by Professor Ahmed Okasha during his Presidency of the
Association and resulted in the creation of his Presidential
Programme on Child Mental Health. This book presents some of the
fruits of this programme and constitutes a global call to action
for mental health workers and policy makers.
The Mental Health of Children and Adolescents: An area of
global neglect brings together information on the burden of
mental disorders in childhood and adolescence with methods of
raising public awareness of these problems. The book also
describes therapeutic and preventive interventions that could
diminish them. It then presents the results of field studies in
Brazil, Egypt and Russia documenting the effectiveness of
interventions to prevent school dropout in those three very
different countries.
With its emphasis on practical guidance for the development of
interventions to prevent or treat child and adolescent mental
health, The Mental Health of Children and Adolescents: An
area of global neglect provides much-needed information of
direct interest to health professionals and the many others
involved in the provision of health care to children and
adolescents in both the developing and the developed countries.
