Produktbeschreibung

This book documents the ways that clinical practitioners and trainees have used the "structural competency" framework to reduce inequalities in health. The essays describe on-the-ground ways that clinicians, educators, and activists craft structural interventions to enhance health outcomes, student learning, and community organizing around issues of social justice in health and healthcare. Each chapter of the book begins with a case study that illuminates a competency in reorienting clinical and public health practice toward community, institutional and policy level intervention based on alliances with social agencies, community organizations and policy makers. Written by authors who are trained in both clinical and social sciences, the chapters cover pedagogy in classrooms and clinics, community collaboration, innovative health promotion approaches in non-health sectors and in public policies, offering a view of effective care as structural intervention and a road maptoward its implementation.

Structural Competency in Mental Health and Medicine is a cutting-edge resource for psychiatrists, primary care physicians, addiction medicine specialists, emergency medicine specialists, nurses, social workers, public health practitioners, and other clinicians working toward equality in health.

Rezensionen

"The book would be a worthwhile addition to any collection on cultural competency; diversity, equity, and inclusion; public health; social determinants of health; or health professions education. Hansen and Metzl's Structural Competency in Mental Health and Medicine: A Case Based Approach to Treating the Social Determinants of Health will, I hope, inspire further development and implementation of structural competency perhaps involving collaborations with health sciences libraries and librarians." (Gregory Laynor, Journal of the Medical Library Association, Vol. 109 (2), April, 2021)
