Psychiatric classifications created in one culture may not be as
universal as we assume, and it is difficult to determine the
validity of a classification even in the culture in which it was
created. "Culture and Panic Disorder" explores how the psychiatric
classification of panic disorder first emerged, how medical
theories of this disorder have shifted through time, and whether or
not panic disorder can actually be diagnosed across cultures.
In this breakthrough volume a distinguished group of medical and
psychological anthropologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, and
historians of science provide ethnographic insights as they
investigate the presentation and generation of panic disorder in
various cultures. The first available work with a focus on the
historical and cross-cultural aspects of panic disorders, this book
presents a fresh opportunity to reevaluate Western theories of
panic that were formerly taken for granted.
