This volume provides an overview of mental health research conducted by sociologists. It
discusses dominant themes such as stress  the community and mental life  family structure 
social relations and recovery. The unique contribution of sociology to the study of mental
health has a long history stretching from the very foundations of modern sociology. Yet it was
only twenty years ago that the Section on Sociology of Mental Health of the American
Sociological Association was formed largely in response to a burgeoning rise in the sum and
significance of research in the field. Today the section is a large and vibrant one with its
own journal  Society and Mental Health. This book explores several of the themes that have
occurred during that period  providing both perspectives of the past and prospects for the
future. The volume is timely  following closely the 20th anniversary of the section's
formation. Its coverage of key issues and its advancement of the scholarly debates on these
issues will prove valuable to students and senior scholars alike.
