This book, a sequel to Mental Health in Asia and the Pacific, which was co-edited with Milton Lewis, delves into the historical and contemporary developments in mental health in China and Chinese immigrant populations. It offers a comprehensive overview of the evolution of mental health policies and services from the 19th century to the present, providing a clear understanding of the antecedents of today's practices. The chapters focus on various aspects, including traditional Chinese conceptions of mental illness, the development of the Chinese mental health system amidst the immense political, social, cultural, and economic transformations in China from the late 19th century to the present, and the mental health experiences of Chinese immigrants in countries with significant Chinese populations.
China's international political and economic influence has witnessed rapid growth in recent decades, along with its advancements in mental health science and innovation. Similarly, China's engagement in international institutions and global economic and health development activities has expanded significantly. Chinese immigrant communities can be found in almost all countries worldwide. By reading this book, readers will gain insights into how historical, cultural, economic, social, and political contexts have shaped the development of mental health law, policies, and services in China, as well as how these contexts in migrant receiving countries impact the mental health of Chinese immigrants.
