This text explores the variety of meanings that mental illness or "madness" can possess. It takes into account the current move to expand the traditional biomedical paradigm to include social and cultural factors in the diagnosis of mental disorders. This text can serve as a companion volume for the textbook "Culture and Mental Illness" also by Richard J. Castillo, as a main text, or in conjunction with other works on the subject. The 27 articles provide illustrations, examples, or case studies of the topics or disorders discussed in Castillo's main text. Most of the articles are based on ethnographic research or case studies and have appeared in journals of psychiatry, neuroscience, anthropology, and psychology.

In our increasingly multicultural global society, it has become important for practitioners to consider social and cultural factors when looking at the causes of, and treatments for, mental illness. The American Psychiatric Association recognized the role of culture in the recent DSM-IV. But the DSM-IV leaves practitioners wondering just how they should go about assessing those cultural factors. This book picks up where the DSM-IV leaves off.
