Essays on anthropological psychiatry. Zislin I.

The book is dedicated to the new field of theoretical psychiatry - anthropological psychiatry. It is composed of articles published over the past 20 years.

Anthropological psychiatry can be described as the methods of cultural anthropology to describe the clinical situation. Such methods help to find a more subtle approach to understanding the process of the disease; revive the forgotten interest in the patient; In a new way to look at myself: how and why I understand the situation in this way, why and what I do not understand. The meaning and context of many classical psychopathological phenomena becomes more clear and transparent.
