Schizophrenia, Culture, and Subjectivity: The Edge of Experience (Cambridge Studies in Medical Anthropology) Book

This volume partners anthropologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and historians currently studying schizophrenia and the cultural processes through which it is experienced. Based on research undertaken around the world, it incorporates a critical analysis of World Health Organization cross-cultural findings. Contributors share an interest in subjective and interpretive aspects of illness, while maintaining the concept of schizophrenia which addresses its biological dimensions. The volume is of interest to scholars in the social and human sciences, and of practical relevance not only to psychiatrists, but all mental health professionals encountering the clinical problems bridging culture and psychosis.Read More
