It may be a topic that many would prefer to sweep under the rug, but it is a fact of life that we as a society can and must face. We have come a long way over the past few decades in our understanding of mental illness and its potential treatments. Yet, tragically, many across the country who struggle with serious mental illness are unable to find effective, quality medical treatment. As a federal commission on mental health concluded, the system of care is in shambles. But why? And how do we fix it?<br>Timothy A. Kelly, former Commissioner of Virginias Department of Mental Health, Retardation, and Substance Abuse, brings his three decades of experience as mental health commissioner, psychology professor, and clinician to bear in confronting this crisis in Americas mental health care system. In clear and accessible terms, he exposes the weaknesses in the current system, examining how and why one of the worlds richest and most advanced countries has allowed its most vulnerable citizens to be victimized by the very system designed to help them.<br>Armed with the latest statistics, a lifetime of experience, and heartrending life stories, Kelly argues that the patchwork of care traditionally employed to treat mental illness is simply not up to the task, and that what we need is profound, fundamental, and system-wide change. He then goes on to provide an easy-to-follow road map for achieving lasting transformation, centered on five recommendations for creating a truly effective mental health system of care that enables patients to achieve a lasting recovery.<br>Mental illness is not going to just go away, but Kelly prescribes a comprehensive plan to make treatment accessible and effective so that those who suffer can rejoin their families and their communities. He shows how a transformed system of community-based care allows those with serious mental illness to finally be able to go home.</p>", "author": "Timothy A.

Scholars, government officials, and the general public have long attempted to understand why segregation persists despite efforts to combat it, traditionally focusing on the issue of white flight, or the idea that white residents will move to other areas if their neighborhood becomes integrated. In Hate Thy Neighbor, Jeannine Bell expands upon these understandings by investigating a little-examined but surprisingly prevalent problem of move-in violence: the anti-integration violence directed by white residents at minorities who move into their neighborhoods. Apprehensive about their new neighbors and worried about declining property values, these residents resort to extra-legal violence and intimidation tactics, often using vandalism and verbal harassment to combat what they view as a violation of their territory.<br><br>Hate Thy Neighbor is the first work to seriously examine the role violence plays in maintaining housing segregation, illustrating how intimidation and fear are employed to force minorities back into separate neighborhoods and prevent meaningful integration. Drawing on evidence that includes in-depth interviews with ordinary citizens and analysis of Fair Housing Act cases, Bell provides a moving examination of how neighborhood racial violence is enabled today and how it harms not only the victims, but entire communities.<br><br>By finally shedding light on this disturbing phenomenon, Hate Thy Neighbor not only enhances our understanding of how prevalent segregation and this type of hate-crime remain, but also offers insightful analysis of a complex mix of remedies that can work to address this difficult problem.</p>", "author": "Jeannine Bell", "slug": "hate-thy-neighbor-251125-9780814770917-jeannine-bell", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9780814770917.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "251125", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/251125/hate-thy-neighbor-251125-9780814770917-jeannine-bell", "bisac_codes": [ "LAW013000", "SOC031000" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780814791448", "EISBN13": "9780814770917", "EISBN10": "0814770916" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010023473232" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000251124", "attributes": { "name": "Habeas Corpus after 9/11", "subtitle": "Confronting Americas New Global Detention System", "description": "<p>2012 American Bar Association Gavel Award Honorable Mention for Books<br><br>2012 Scribes Book Silver Medal Award presented by the American Society of Legal Writers<br><br>The U.S. detention center at Guantanamo Bay has long been synonymous with torture, secrecy, and the abuse of executive power.

He looks at the way demeaning constructions of Latinos/as influence their legal treatment by police, prosecutors, juries, teachers, voters, and vigilantes. He also shows how, by internalizing negative social images, Latinos/as and other subordinated groups view themselves and each other as inferior.<br> Although fighting against cultural stereotypes can be a daunting task, Bender reminds us that, while hard to break, they do not have to be permanent.
