International mental health work is an emerging specialization which focuses on serving vulnerable and culturally diverse populations around the world. As international health work becomes more and more common, it is now more important than ever to focus on ethics in order to assure quality and standards of care within the field. This book does just that, offering ethical guidelines for international mental health workers, who face an unprecedented scale of human suffering and complexity of psychological needs which places special demands on making independent, responsible, and competent decisions in extraordinary and often unique circumstances. Cherepanov offers insight into professional ethics within a larger context of fundamental principles of humanitarian assistance, and strategic guidelines for the humanitarian interventions, which adds additional broader points of reference, and provides guidance for competent and collaborative clinical and programmatic decision making. This book flags problems, offers case studies, gives examples of ethically questionable practices, and presents guidelines for navigating conundrums and reconciling multi-disciplinary and personal values.
