Mental health is a phenomenon that affects not only health sciences, but also sociology, economics and politics. This book is a pedagogical exercise of action and transformation to enroll in a broader and multidimensional vision of mental health.

This multidisciplinary quality requires professionals to review their model of action to make it broader and more inclusive, thus overcoming the classical paternalism of psychiatry and reinforcing its role both in the affected people and in those of their environment and in the community.

In this context, it is necessary to feel a basis for an ethics that allows managing the multiplicity of factors to be taken into account when making decisions about the person and their mind. Precisely this is about Ethics and Mental Health: to continue with the critical debate on how to improve the care practice and resituate it in a bio-psycho-social perspective. Both affected people and family members, clinical professionals and anyone interested in the subject will find in these pages a deep reflection and rigorous proposals on what and how should be the attention to mental problems.
