Description

Ethics for Global Mental Health examines the limitations of current normative approaches to global mental health (GMH) work and argues for a values-based framework that prioritizes accountability and contextual relevance of humanitarian and profession-specific values. It cautions against using aspirational ideals as operational guidance. Chapters are organized around challenges arising in humanitarian research, disaster relief, post-conflict recovery, fieldwork, and refugee resettlement and are designed to equip readers with strategies for resolving professional dilemmas and negotiating conflicting priorities. Also included is a sample training curriculum as well as case studies and exercises that help professionals address countertransference and burnout, and recognize ethically questionable practices such as trauma tourism, rescuer fantasy, or savior complex.

Critic Reviews

“" Ethics for Global Mental Health is an essential read for humanitarian workers. Dr Cherepanov makes an urgent and compelling call for professional and academic rigor in mental health care that we have now come to expect in the provision of physical health care. We would do well to heed that call." Unni Karunakara, MBBS, MPH, DrPH, Assistant Clinical Professor of Public Health, Yale University, International President of M”

"Ethics for Global Mental Health is an essential read for humanitarian workers. Dr Cherepanov makes an urgent and compelling call for professional and academic rigor in mental health care that we have now come to expect in the provision of physical health care. We would do well to heed that call."
Unni Karunakara, MBBS, MPH, DrPH, Assistant Clinical Professor of Public Health, Yale University, International President of Médecins Sans Frontières (2010-2013)

"Cherepanov has written a moving, intelligent, and empathic dissection of the humanitarian system, and of the space of practice called global mental health within that system. She challenges taken-for-granted norms and practices, and unflinchingly demands a realignment of norms and practices that will lead with people, and with ethics. Rather than allowing the global mental health "black box" to remain filled with whatever content donors and humanitarian providers are willing to offer, Cherepanov’s demands truth, impact, and honesty. Her critical gaze is all the more powerful for how persuasively it grounds the reader in micro-detail experiences of the field of practice while simultaneously retaining a critical overview of the field as a whole."
Sharon Abramowitz, PhD, Medical Anthropologist
