Examines Korea's years under Japanese colonialism, when mental health first became defined as a medical and social problem. This book explores the impact of Chinese traditional medicine and its holistic approach to treating mental disorders, and the resilience of folk illnesses as explanations for inappropriate and dangerous behaviors.
