Reviews

<br> This wide-ranging collection of papers illuminates many aspects of mental health as a public health concern. Whether readers' interest is childhood or old age, the United States or the developing world, depression or schizophrenia, they will find something to interest and inform them.

Jane Costello, PhD, Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Duke University School of Medicine, Durham NC <br><p><br> Mental Health in Public Health is two books in one. Part 1 is a compilation of thoughtful chapters demonstrating the critical role
