Culture & Mental Illness: A Client-centered ApproachAuthor Richard Castillo, who studied under Arthur Kleinman of Harvard University, has developed a client-centered paradigm for mental illness based on recent biological, psychological, social, and cross-cultural studies. His book provides practical applications for clinicians and addresses recent theoretical changes and their implications for the assessment and diagnosis of mental illness. Culture & Mental Illness is written for a global audience. Although the book discusses American ethnic minorities, its scope includes a wide variety of cultural and ethnic groups from around the world. |
