The “new” cross-cultural psychiatry proposed that the integration of ethnographic and epidemiological techniques be required to enable a culture sensitive psychiatric model to emerge. This monograph describes a series…. Click Here to Read More

Handwriting is one way to determine how an individual has adapted to a mental illness, which is an intelligence change. A mind, which has lost or misdirected its goal, which is, for instance, undeveloped in an ability to cooperate, will fail to exercise a helpful influence on the growth of the personality. For this reason we find that many who, as children, lacked cooperativeness, reveal in their maturity a…. Click Here to Read More
