For decades, the definitions and treatments of mental illness exported by the United States have become international standards, and the result is a gradual flattening and homogenizing of the landscape of the human psyche around the world. The book points out that each mental illness varies with its culture and beliefs, and that the existence of such differences should not be ignored. The author expresses his concerns about the adoption of standardized criteria for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness and reveals the ambition of drug companies to promote universal disease categories for profit.
Ethan Watters, a well-known American writer and journalist has long been devoted to writing about psychiatry and social psychology. His representative works are “Urban Tribes: A Generation Redefines Friendship, Family, and Commitment” and “Making Monsters: False Memories, Psychotherapy, And Sexual Hysteria.” His work has been featured in the Best American Science and Nature Writing series. As a journalist, Watters investigated mental illnesses in four countries and regions. In the form of an interview report, he presents stories about anorexia, PTSD, schizophrenia, and depression that are very distinct in different cultures.
