Overview: foundations of cultural psychiatry
AR Favazza and M Oman
The authors demonstrate the significance of adding the cultural dimension
to basic psychiatric concepts. They point out the areas in which the work
of anthropology and social psychology are relevant to psychiatry, including
understanding mental health and illness, child- rearing practices and their
effects on personality, cognition, family and social networks, sex roles
and behavior, alcohol use, communication, and therapy. They also present
some of the major conceptual foundations of cultural psychiatry, which
include ethnography, emic and etic approaches, the cross-cultural approach,
and the study of subjective culture.
