A supplementary resource for student and practicing psychiatrists.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
Written by Rodrigo Munoz, MD, Annelle Primm, MD, Jambur Ananth, MD, and Pedro Ruiz, MD, Life in Color: Culture in American Psychiatry is a guide especially for students and the professionals in the psychiatric field whose patients may come from a diverse range of cultural backgrounds. Every patient is an individual, of course, but most individuals are heavily affected by their own cultural beliefs, biases, and teachings. What is considered normative may be arbitrary, or possibly even factually incorrect, for different cultures, yet the psychiatrist needs to be aware of these norms in order to better be able to understand and help the patient. Chapters discuss taking cultural influences into account when dealing with major depression, other forms of depression, schizophrenia and other psychoses, psychopharmacology, and much more. Enthusiastically recommended for college libraries, psychiatric reference shelves, and as a supplementary resource for student and practicing psychiatrists.
