An International Journal of Comparative Cross-Cultural Research.

Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry is an international and interdisciplinary
forum for the publication of work in three interrelated fields: medical and
psychiatric anthropology, cross-cultural psychiatry, and related
cross-societal and clinical epidemiological studies. The journal publishes
original research, theoretical papers and review articles on all subjects in
each of these fields. Interdisciplinary work which bridges anthropological
and medical perspectives and methods which are clinically relevant are
particularly welcome, as is research on the cultural context of normative
and deviant behavior, including the anthropological, epidemiological and
clinical aspects of the subject.

Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry also fosters systematic and wide-ranging
examinations of the significance of culture in health care, including
comparisons of how the concept of culture is operationalized in
anthropological and medical disciplines.

With the increasing emphasis on the cultural diversity of society, which
finds its reflection in many facets of our day to day life, including health
care, Culture, Medicine and Psychiatry is required reading in anthropology,
psychiatry and general health care libraries.

Subscribers have access to full-text articles.
