Where there is no Psychiatrist: A Mental Health Care Manualby Vikram Patel There is a huge unmet need for mental health care in developing countries. Most care will have to be provided by primary health workers with little or no training in mental health. During the 10 years I worked in Zimbabwe and India, I looked at several manuals for primary and community health workers. Unfortunately, they were all heavily influenced by biomedical psychiatry; for example, topics referred to psychiatric diagnostic categories such as depression and psychoses. These words not only fail to translate into many languages, but are also laden with stigma. e-TALC: Health Development Resources on CD-ROM

E-journals: Developing Country Access Surveyby Pippa Smart Over the past few years there has been much concern over the information gap between developed and less developed countries and this has led to a number of initiatives from publishers and/or learned and professional societies designed to supply journals into the developing world. These initiatives have largely focussed on the provision of online information, as this can be provided at little cost to the information provider - although connectivity within the developing countries is, of course, a limiting factor. |
