About the journal
Aims and Scope:
transcultural psychiatry is a fully peer reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles on cultural psychiatry and mental health. Cultural psychiatry is concerned with the social and cultural determinants of psychopathology and psychosocial treatments of the range of mental and behavioural problems in individuals, families and human groups. In addition to the clinical research methods of psychiatry, it draws from the disciplines of psychiatric epidemiology, medical anthropology and cross-cultural psychology.
transcultural psychiatry publishes original research reports, comprehensive literature reviews (overview articles), review-essays, book reviews and letters to the editor on all topics relevant to cultural psychiatry and mental health, including:
?studies of the role of social and cultural factors in the origins, course and treatment of psychiatric disorders;
?the mental health of indigenous peoples, ethnocultural minorities, immigrants and refugees;
?indigenous psychiatric theory and practice (ethnopsychiatry) including scientific evaluation of the knowledge and methods of traditional healing systems;
?cultural critique of biomedical ('Western') psychiatric theory and practice;
?international and cross-national research and practice in mental health.
transcultural psychiatry began publication in 1956 (asTranscultural Psychiatric Research Review) to provide a channel of communication for psychiatrists and social scientiststs around the world concerned with the relationship between culture and mental health and is essential for clinicians working in multicultural or intercultural settings and for research workers in the borderlands between psychiatry, psychology and anthropology.
