The authors postulate that the recent intensification of the nationalist and xenophobic attitude in Poland and other Eastern European countries is detrimental to public mental health. The xenophobic attitude is accompanied by a higher incidence of anxiety and depression, disputes due to the polarization of opinions, a sense of embarrassment and a sense of contradictions with so-called Christian values, unfavorable demographic predictions and reduced life satisfaction.
The authors attempt to describe the sequence of adverse events that led to the intensification of xenophobia and characterize the current state of public mental health in European countries. They formulate and propose possible actions which could counteract the consequences of that transformation.
The actions which may be undertaken to counteract the deterioration of public mental health can be based on the recommendations of so-called 'positive psychology' and 'positive psychiatry' as well as the principles of strengthening local social capital.
作者推测，波兰和其他东欧国家近期民族主义和仇外态度的强化对公众心理健康有害。仇外态度伴随着焦虑和抑郁发病率的上升、因观点两极分化引发的争端、尴尬感以及与所谓基督教价值观的矛盾感、不利的人口预测和生活满意度的降低。
作者试图描述导致仇外心理强化的一系列不良事件，并刻画欧洲国家公众心理健康的现状。他们制定并提出了可能应对这种转变后果的行动。
为应对公众心理健康恶化可采取的行动可以基于所谓“积极心理学”和“积极精神病学”的建议以及加强地方社会资本的原则。
