Summary
This important book suggests a framework for providing culturally different clients with an appropriate and workable mental health service. Working on the assumption that 'healthy' and 'normal' are not the same constructs in all cultures, the authors are dedicated to increasing the visibility of indigenous mental health traditions, and challenging the potential ethnocentrism of many mental health service providers. The book will be of greatest interest to psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers and others who hope to serve, rather than convert, their clients.
