Forensic psychiatry is the discipline which distinguishes the 'mad'
from the 'bad', but are its values inherently racist? Why are
individuals from non-Western backgrounds over-represented
statistically in those diagnosed with schizophrenia and other
serious illnesses? The authors argue that the values on which
psychiatry is based are firmly rooted in ethnocentric Western
culture, with profound implications for individual diagnosis and
systems of care.
Through detailed exploration of the history of psychiatry, current
clinical issues and present public policy, this powerful book
traces the growth of a system in which non-conformity to the
prevailing cultural norms risks alienation and diagnosis of mental
disorder.
