Description

"As society becomes more diverse and the world evolves into a global village, the need to integrate culture into medicine and psychiatry has become increasingly critical?challenging clinicians to provide the most effective psychiatric care to patients of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Breaking new ground by proposing the use of a new instrument for assessing nonadherence to psychotropic medication regimens in clinical practice, the author begins with an overview of culture in psychiatry, which adopts Ward Goodenough's definition of culture as a clinically useful concept."--(www.appi.org)
