Springer Cultural Conceptions of Mental Health and Therapy - Springer

Explore the critical intersection of culture and mental health through this comprehensive academic text from Springer's Culture, Illness and Healing series. This volume examines how sociocultural factors shape the etiology, epidemiology, manifestation and treatment of mental disorders across diverse populations. Drawing on research spanning anthropology, psychology, sociology, psychiatry, public health and social work, the book demonstrates that sociocultural variables are fundamentally linked to all aspects of human behaviour, both normal and abnormal. Ideal for healthcare practitioners, mental health professionals, researchers and students seeking to understand culturally-informed approaches to therapy and mental health treatment.
