Abstract:This collected volume is about the changing trends in mental health care and research in Ghana. The first section of the book includes a brief history of the Department of Psychiatry of the University of Ghana Medical School and of mental health care in Ghana, and a revised situation analysis of mental health services and legislation from 2005. This section is followed by sections on conceptualization of mental illness, mental health practice in a teaching hospital setting, and on research in Psychiatry and Clinical Biology. In the concluding paragraph, thoughts are shared about the way forward in mental health care and research in Ghana.
