"By the mid-21st century, the United States will no longer have a Caucasian majority. This fact, coupled with the evidence showing that misdiagnosis occurs more frequently in minority populations, indicates that the future domestic and international utility of DSM-IV and its companions will depend on their suitability for use with various cultures. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" was developed from the National Institute of Mental Health and American Psychiatric Association's conference on culture and psychiatric diagnosis, which was organised to enhance the cultural validity of DSM-IV. It represents the innovative collaboration of cultural experts, members of the NIMH Culture and Diagnosis Group, nosologists and members of the DSM-IV Task Force and Work Groups. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" should benefit all clinicians who treat diverse patients because it documents and clarifies how cultural factors influence psychopathology; the emergence, manifestations, assessment and course of mental disorders; and response to treatment."

"Examining "mental illness" in societies where different world views, thought worlds, and habit patterns prevail is ordinarily frowned by social scientists since it involves analysis of phenomena steeped in modern conventions of knowledge. This book contravenes this position giving reasons for and ways of circumventing social science scruples. It formulates and provides details about the system of healing of conditions of psychiatric interest that would have been found in ancient traditional and early modern period. It draws on the findings of Indian epidemiologists who have surveyed the prevalence and distribution of psychiatric disorders in modern and traditional settings of contemporary India. Their findings support the position that such conditions would have been found in earlier historical epochs. In the book , information from cultural anthropology is used to formulate ideas and a perspective that encompass salient cultural and historical parameters of India as a sociocultural entity which have stood the test of time. Emphasis is placed on how Indian culture, religion, morality, sociology, and philosophical psychology which shape the world view and habit patterns of Indian peoples everywhere and throughout millennia. This nexus of ideas constituted the ontology and epistemology about psychiatric conditions in earlier historical epoch. It shaped their form, content and meaning and it provided a basis for approaches to healing. Normal and not so normal conceptions about behaviour and well being are discussed based on indigenous systems of meaning. The manner in which psychiatric conditions were and still are formulated in the compilations of Caraka, Susruta, Vagbhata, and Bela are reviewed and compared along with religious and spiritual viewpoints. Discussion of approach to conditions of psychiatric interest rooted in traditional Indian values provides a basis for critique and plea for broadening the scope and depth of the already vibrant and scientifically compelling psychiatry of contemporary India. The book aims to make modern psychiatry more responsive to India's understanding of the human conditions." (jacket). …
