This book presents an extensive collection of high-yield case
vignettes with recommendations for a comprehensive approach to
cultural psychiatry. Culture is defined from an anthropological
perspective, with an emphasis on aspects of culture beyond race,
ethnicity, and other traditional demographic categories. The goal
of this book is to offer clinical applications of cultural
psychiatry via examination of special populations, systems, and
settings. With ever-changing geopolitical environments,
institutional structures, and sociodynamics, attention and
consideration of context is paramount. Theoretical models and
specific frameworks for evaluating cultural influence on the
manifestation, development, and treatment response of mental health
illnesses are presented. The chapters are organized to showcase
different ways in which culture plays into everyday clinical
practice. Emphasis is placed on the full sum of the care delivery
transaction within a larger context, including public and community
systems of care. Real-world case examples are discussed in each
chapter to help contextualize the dynamic nature that culture plays
in practice across inpatient and outpatient settings. Each case
presents with relevant academic and historical background and
practical operational advice for psychiatrists providing care
within these respective communities. The authors address diverse
clinical cases related to refugee and asylum seekers, military
service members, survivors of human trafficking, incarcerated
populations, and more. Training recommendations and best practices
are outlined including psychopharmacology, psychosocial treatments,
and cultural adaptations to evidence based treatments. Diversity in
Action: Case Studies in Cultural Psychiatry is a useful resource
for all psychiatrists, psychologists, general practitioners, social
workers, nurses, administrators, public policy officials, and all
medical professionals working with a culturally diverse subset of
patients seeking mental health.
