Summary:

Telemental health has become integral to conversations concerning contemporary health system reforms and innovations, particularly as an important too to bridge the treatment gap and provide access to specialists in underserved areas. Telemental Health in Resource-Limited Global Settings, edited by Drs. Jefee-Bahloul, Barkil-Oteo, and Augusterfer, is the first book to focus on the application of telemental health in various low-income settings throughout the world. This practitioner-oriented guide introduces the experiences of using technology in providing mental health care, education, and capacity-building approaches. It describes some of the most successful global applications of telemental health, and its chapters include case examples from every continent, focusing on both developing regions-such as Africa and Latin America-and on vulnerable populations within first-world settings-including refugees in Denmark, Native Americans in the United States, and aboriginal populations in Australia. The book aims to illuminate the state of telemental health globally and the challenges facing its application. The enriched understanding it provides will be essential for any mental health practitioners, general practitioners, or health policymakers who are interested in implementing telemental health in their specific global settings.
