Featuring contributions from a variety of international voices, this volume draws on a range of disciplinary, practice and experiential perspectives to offer new understandings of relationships between culture and psychosis.

Taking neither culture nor psychosis as neatly defined, the chapters trace how individual illness and recovery experiences, treatment paradigms, and diagnostic categories are all culturally shaped. Together they illustrate that paying attention to culture is crucial to understanding the complexities of lived experiences, as well as the workings of culture in biomedicine and psychiatry. Offering a sensitive and multi-vocal approach to the topic, the book is an innovative, timely and theoretically robust contribution to the emerging interdisciplinary field of mental health science.

This important book will be of interest to mental health practitioners, students and academics across a range of disciplines, as well as those with lived experience of psychosis.

Ingo Lambrecht is a consultant clinical psychologist in Auckland, New Zealand.
His special interests include children, psychosis, personality issues, and trauma.
He has also worked at a Māori Mental Health Service and in other leadership roles,
implementing indigenous models of care that address social inequities. He was also
privileged to undergo an intense shamanic training as a sangoma, a South African
traditional healer, as outlined in his book, Sangoma Trance States, based on his
PhD research.

Anna Lavis is an associate professor in Medical Anthropology at the University of
Birmingham, UK. Her research has two core strands: lived experiences of mental
(ill-)health and distress - notably disordered eating, self-harm, suicidality, and
psychosis - and relationships between social media and mental health. She has
published widely in social science and clinical journals and is the series editor of
the International Society for Psychological and Social Approaches to Psychosis
(ISPS) Book Series.
