AbstractA decade ago, urban street outreach was part of a rapid response to the epidemic of homelessness. Today it struggles to develop into a clinical craft that will define its own niche in the system of services to the homeless mentally ill.

The book offers discussions that provide approaches to therapy and rehabilitation from the vantage point of treatment environments, from street to housing. Its real-world orientation offers a detailed, practical team approach to situations posed by families, homeless children, veterans, urban and rural populations, and others.

The second edition of the AACP's (American Association for Community Psychiatry) Textbook of Community Psychiatry is a welcome update of this notable work that comprehensively presents the state of the art in this field. Along with continuously evolving scientific advances and principles of clinical care, community psychiatry must respond to shifts in public policy as well as economic climate. The past decade has witnessed significant political and social changes, including climate change, immigration levels, technological advancement, the influence of social media and the rise of political unrest. This new edition reflects these wider changes, incorporating new chapters and enhancing previous ones. It remains the standard text for certification of those working in healthcare and social welfare systems design and delivery of services. Readers will gain knowledge of: Basic pillars of the fieldEvidence based interventionsTelepsychiatry and technological aidsTrauma informed servicesIntegrated health systemsSocial determinants of healthStructural discrimination
