This Textbook is a key expansion of 2012’s American Association of Community Psychiatrists Handbook of Community Psychiatry (McQuistion et al. 2012). With this edition, we aim to deliver a comprehensive examination of the many phases of public and community psychiatry, offering a foundational resource for anyone working for community well-being in behavioral health. While the volume primarily focuses on psychia¬try’s role in community behavioral health, the bulk of chapters are relevant to training and ongo¬ing education for a range of allied professionals and policymakers. At the core of this textbook is a commitment to document and expand the range of professional knowledge, skills, and awareness of those who themselves dedicate their work to communities of people.
Concerning the role of psychiatry, community psychiatry itself as a field or subspecialty is so broad that it handily encompasses domains of public policy, teaching and research, program management and administration, and, of course, clinical work. Self-identified community psychi¬atrists flexibly work in multiple roles over their careers and not infrequently covering multiple domains simultaneously. This bestows the benefit of breadth of view in their work and enables them to address patient care from all 360 degrees of biopsychosocial and to some, arguably, spiritual conceptualization.
An important, and unique, dimension affect¬ing the need to diligently update the field is how community psychiatry is affected by social, cul¬tural, and political changes. For example, the past 10 years have brought deep turmoil to America, with a widened political division that challenges consensus on how to solve both old and new social problems. As of this writing, in mid-2022, cardinal issues include an overdue re-examination of the cultural status quo, most particularly defined by the crucible of human rights: the struggles of Black and other people of color. This is compounded by an international humanitarian crisis of refugee migration owing to war and social violence, including American immigration and asylum-seeking. Continuing are wholly inad¬equate efforts to improve the lives of people with mental illnesses who are homeless or incarcer¬ated. A demoralizing viral pandemic has raged across all social strata, too, compounding trau¬matic loss, both personally and economically, with effects on well-being that are yet evolving. In our view, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacer¬bated a political crisis that separates communi¬ties, sometimes even with hateful speech and action. Additionally, the specter of war has threatened international stability as not other conflict since World War II. And finally, there is accelerating urgency to address climate change, itself an ultimate social determinant of mental health, and indeed the most serious existential threat facing humanity.
