Abstract:
Social changes known to be prevalent in the world today, especially those identified in developing countries also prevail in the Philippines. These social transformations have had an impact on individuals and communities. What has become clear is that the political and social forces that have generated such changes have contributed significantly to an increase in the world-wide incidence of psychosocial and mental health problems.
