内容説明

By the mid-21st century, the United States will no longer have a Caucasian majority. This fact, coupled with the evidence showing that misdiagnosis occurs more frequently in minority populations, indicates that the future domestic and international utility of DSM-IV and its companions will depend on their suitability for use with various cultures. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" was developed from the National Institute of Mental Health and American Psychiatric Association's conference on culture and psychiatric diagnosis, which was organised to enhance the cultural validity of DSM-IV. It represents the innovative collaboration of cultural experts, members of the NIMH Culture and Diagnosis Group, nosologists and members of the DSM-IV Task Force and Work Groups. "Culture and Psychiatric Diagnosis: A DSM-IV Perspective" should benefit all clinicians who treat diverse patients because it documents and clarifies how cultural factors influence psychopathology; the emergence, manifestations, assessment and course of mental disorders; and response to treatment.
