The second edition of this seminal text has been thoroughly revised to present an up-to-date and critical account of Western psychiatry and psychology from a cross-cultural perspective. Whilst retaining the clear and direct writing style of the former edition, the text has been re-written extensively and re-structured to maintain its unrivalled breadth and sophistication. This persuasive and powerful text explores issues surrounding what is meant by mental health in a world context. The author draws on a wealth of knowledge from a wide range of sources to challenge the idea that concepts of mental health are universally applicable to all, regardless of cultural differences. The ethnocentric and racist bias of Western psychiatry and psychology is exposed in a disturbing analysis of mental health theories, practices, traditions and innovations from around the globe. The author argues convincingly that psychiatric imperialism at a global level and racist and culturally insensitive ways of working at an individual level must be combated if there is to be a move forward towards truly universal concepts of mental health. The concluding part of the text offers constructive and inspirational advice on how theory and practice might be remodeled to establish a basis for achieving sound mental health for all.
