Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry - Tập 41 - Trang 541-563 - 2017
Laurence Anne Tessier
This article takes up the neuroscientific assumption of our brains as “solitary” and contrasts this understanding with the description of actual clinical practices.

Visceral Visions: Rethinking Embodiment and Desire in Global Mental Health
Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry - Tập 47 - Trang 132-151 - 2022
Maddalena Canna
The globalization of biomedicine poses the problem of finding cross-culturally valid criteria for mental health. Undue pathologization is a major risk for global health, especially when diagnoses rely exclusively on Western nosology. This article focuses on the clinical conflation between involuntary mass possession and conversion disorder. Originally, the diagnosis of “conversion disorder” evolve...... hiện toàn bộ

Application of useful findings of vintag...... hiện toàn bộ

Culture, Medicine, and Psychiatry - Tập 38 - Trang 369-386 - 2014
Guy Attewell
This is a study of the emergence of new institutional arenas for ayurveda and yunani medicine, collectivized at the time as ‘indigenous medicine,’ in a semi-autonomous State (Mysore) in late colonial India. The study argues that the characteristic dimensions of this process were compromise and misalignment between ideals of governance and modes of pedagogy and practice. Running counter to a narrat...... hiện toàn bộ
