Document Summary
Ethnocentricity: are they really just non-western, the dsm is based on western ideas, and there is no clear evidence for the cause of deviance, the cultural gets to define what is normal. These appear in the very back of the dsm with real medical terms: e. g. Theorists debate the extent that psychiatry can truly be considered cross- culture and universal. Some assume cross-cultural portability of psychiatric theory and practice: the somatic expression in east asia discipline. Can it be globalized? not be in the brain: it is a connection between a person and society. Others devoted to advancing psychiatric anthropology as a scholarly: mental illness is deviance from cultural norms or values may or may. Transcultural psychiatry tries to bridge the gap between (cid:498)it is a brain disorder(cid:499) and (cid:498)it is deviance from society(cid:499) Ethical problem westernized, standardized treatment: bias to euro-american ideas the (cid:498)americanization of mental illness(cid:499)
