Book Synopsis
What is the relationship between culture and mental health? Is mental illness universal? Are symptoms of mental disorders different across social groups? In the late 1960s these questions gave rise to a series of articles by Henri Ellenberger, presented here for the first time in English.

Trade Review

"Ethnopsychiatry presents yet another dimension of Ellenberger's thought and calls for a reappraisal of his eclectic oeuvre. Moreover, with its emphasis on cultural values and local ways of life, the book provides real insight into the challenges involved when one takes up the imperative to consider cultural diversity in psychiatric practice." Ryan L. Allen, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign
