Review

The world population balance is shifting. Rich, developed countries' inhabitants are becoming older while people in low and middle income countries are becoming younger, so much so that a large proportion of the world's youth now lives in these countries. Another shift is also taking place in youth-rich countries: their leaders are increasingly concerned about improving the mental health of their people and realize the need to train more and better professionals to deal with these problems. This book is a key source of information for policy and practice that would be useful for professionals in training and leaders when addressing these issues. -- Joseph M. Rey, PhD, University of Sydney
