The editors of this volume are to be congratulated for recognizing and fulfilling an obligation to the field.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Robert Cancro, M.D. * American Journal of Psychiatry *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an increasingly multicultural society, most clinicians in the United States routinely encounter many of the ethical dilemmas probed in this book. They will, no doubt, find the content of this edited work compelling and thought provoking reading that is broadly relevant to clinical practice and research.\u003c\/p\u003e * New England Journal of Medicine, Vol. 344 No. 18 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e[T]his is a book that will be food for thought as international ethics in psychiatric practice is debated in the future.\u003c\/p\u003e * Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 62:8 *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe editors have surely taken on a daunting task, and they have succeeded. The volume proffers a culturally panoramic view of ethics and psychiatry. It should satisfy readers aspiring to basic knowledge of the ethical practices of psychiatry, particularly from a transcultural perspective. And indeed, the volume is a boon to readers interested in the thorny question of whether, and if so to what degree, issues relating to ethics and psychiatry may transcend not-inconsiderable cultural chasms. . . . I recommend the volume heartily to all readers genuinely interested in weaving ethical and cultural strands within psychiatric practice.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Morton D.
