Pathologizing Distress
The Colonial Master's Tools and Mental Health Services for “Newcomers/Immigrants”
From: Doing Anti-Oppressive Practice
$1.90
This chapter critically examines the mental health supports and services often offered to immigrants, refugees, and racialized peoples in Canada. It draws on a case study to make the point that these groups should receive not psychiatric services, but community-based supports and services. It also provides interventions that an anti-oppressive practice social worker could provide to these groups to assist them to address the problems encountered in their daily lives.
