Full Description
Featuring contributions from a variety of international voices, this volume draws
on a range of disciplinary, practice, and experiential perspectives to offer new
understandings of relationships between culture and psychosis.
Taking neither culture nor psychosis as neatly defined, the chapters trace how
individual illness and recovery experiences, treatment paradigms, and diagnostic
categories are all culturally shaped. Together, they illustrate that paying attention
to culture is crucial to understanding the complexities of lived experiences, as well
as the workings of culture in biomedicine and psychiatry. Offering a sensitive and
multi-vocal approach to the topic, the book is an innovative, timely, and theoretically
robust contribution to the emerging interdisciplinary field of mental health science.
This important book will be of interest to mental health practitioners, students,
and academics across a range of disciplines, as well as those with lived experience
of psychosis.
