- CULTURE, MEDICINE AND PSYCHIATRY focuses on psychiatric and cultural aspects of medicine. Typically, contributors present a statistical analysis of diseases related to various national and cultural settings. Articles are well documented and include tables, graphs or charts. Titles like "Side Effects of Chronic Lithium Therapy in Hong Kong Chinese: An Ethnopsychiatric Perspective" and "Aboriginal Spirituality: Symbolic Healing in Canadian Prisons" are representative of the journal's cross-cultural emphasis and unusual subject matter. Because of its unique interdisciplinary themes, the journal will be of most value to researchers in the social sciences and in cross-cultural medical studies (Katz).
