Social Psychiatry Across Cultures Studies from North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa

This well-illustrated compendium of recent works in social psychiatry from around the world describes the association between cultural elements indigenous to a society and mental health and illness. The book compares this anthropologic-descriptive body of work with highly quantitative research papers that emphasize the notion of stratification. A discussion of directions for future cross-cultural investigations integrating culturalist and universalist approaches concludes the text.Price, Rumi K. is the author of 'Social Psychiatry Across Cultures Studies from North America, Asia, Europe, and Africa' with ISBN 9780306449710 and ISBN 0306449714.
