Abstract

New research has been considerably influenced by the consensus of integrating etic and emic methodologies and perspectives. Studies of cultural minorities in developed societies, studies in non-European societies and comparative studies across cultures have shown that the role of culture is dynamic and differs from one setting to another. Many studies have shown that factors related to the health system, such as economic, political and health service-related factors, play an even greater role in our understanding of psychiatric disorders in different cultures.
