From “Psychiatric Problems at the Buddhist Priest’s Hospital in Thailand” to “Political Dimensions of Psychiatric Thought,” Transcultural Research in Mental Health emphasizes the international and interdisciplinary facets of mental health. From fieldwork to philosophy the approach is as diverse, exciting, and far-reaching as the actual problems and orientations of cross cultural research in this area.
