Heavy, and extra postage may be requested to destinations outside Australia. This innovative book, edited by two Australian academic psychiatrists, considers ways to resolve the imbalance between the demand and supply of mental health services. Treatment services in most countries reach only a minority of people identified as suffering from a mental disorder. Few countries can provide adequate health services for all the mentally ill, yet none has developed a rational system to decide who should be treated. Could we develop a staged treatment process to reach all in need? If not, how do we decide who to treat? What should the criteria be for deployment of scarce treatment resources? How do we determine such criteria? In this pioneering work, an international team of 60 eminent psychiatrists, epidemiologists, health administrators, economists and health planners (including Australia) seek to improve the current health system.

A new history of drug use in sport. Argues that the idea of taking drugs to enhance performance has not always been the crisis or evil we now think it is. Instead, the late 19th century was a time of some experimentation and innovation largely unhindered by talk of cheating or health risks. By the interwar period, experiments had been modernised by exercise physiologists, but still there was little sense that this was contrary to the ethics or spirit of sport. World War 2 provided the impetus for both increased use of drugs and the emergence of an anti-doping response. By the late1950s a new ethics framework was imposed on the drugs question that constructed doping in highly emotive terms as evil. Alongside this emerged the science and procedural bureaucracy of testing. ISBN/ASIN: 9780415357722. Our Book No: 15767. $40 AUD.

A collection of essays, edited by Jerome Singer, discussing the difficult concept of repression.

Leaders in clinical psychiatry, clinical psychology, health psychology and cognitive psychology examine the historical origins of repression, survey the clinical and research evidence, and summarize the major theories of repression current, including the emerging concept of repression as a personality style. Explores the implications of a repressor personality style for physiology and health, including links to stress and its effects on the immune system and on diseases such as cancer.
