Our purpose in assembling the papers in this collection is to
introduce readers to studies of normal and abnormal behavior in
Chinese culture. We want to offer a sense o/what psychiatrists and
social scientists are doing to advance our under standing of this
subject, including what fmdings are being made, what questions
researched, what conundrums worried over. Since our fund of
knowledge is obviously incomplete, we want our readers to be aware
of the limits to what we know and to our acquisition of new
knowledge. Although the subject is too vast and uncharted to
support a comprehensive synthesis, in a few areas - e. g.,
psychiatric epidemiology - enough is known for us to be able to
present major reviews. The chapters themselves cover a variety of
themes that we regard as both intrinsically interesting and
deserving of more systematic evaluation. Many of the issues they
address we believe to be valid concerns for comparative cross
cultural studies. No attempt is made to artificially integrate
these chapters, since the editors wish to highlight their
distinctive interpretive frameworks as evidence of the rich variety
of approaches that scholars take to this subject. 'We see this
volume as a modest and self-consciously limited exploration. Here
are some accounts and interpretations (but by no means all) of
normal and ab normal behavior in the context of Chinese culture
that we believe fashion a more discriminating understanding of at
least a few important aspects of that subject."
