Reviews
The editors have surely taken on a daunting task, and they have succeeded. The volume proffers a culturally panoramic view of ethics and psychiatry. It should satisfy readers aspiring to basic knowledge of the ethical practices of psychiatry, particularly from a transcultural perspective. And indeed, the volume is a boon to readers interested in the thorny question of whether, and if so to what degree, issues relating to ethics and psychiatry may transcend not-inconsiderable cultural chasms.... I recommend the volume heartily to all readers genuinely interested in weaving ethical and cultural strands within psychiatric practice. - Morton D. Sosland, M.D., Psychosomatics, Jan- Feb 2003
[T]his is a book that will be food for thought as international ethics in psychiatric practice is debated in the future. -- Journal of Clinical Psychiatry 62:8, , August 2001
