Fiji's Mental Treatment Act 1940 had become outdated, in part because it concentrated on treatment within a psychiatric hospital. The Mental Health Decree 2010 covers not only in-patient treatment but also the promotion of mental health, the prevention of mental illness, and the community-based and rehabilitative aspects of mental healthcare, as well as human rights issues.

This paper, and indeed the project it represents, is about moving from theory to practice. It is about doing so under trying circumstances—certainly for the professionals involved, but more for the clients and intended beneficiaries. It is about a search for "the right stuff" in one community's quest to better serve refugees and immigrants, particularly those that have been severely traumatized and/or tortured. At the broadest level, it is about applying anthropology and psychology as part of a multifaceted effort to deal with mental health and human rights issues.
