Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Cultural Psychiatry
  • Sociology of Medicine

Background:

  • The biological paradigm has led to a decline in attention to cultural factors within Indian psychiatry.
  • There's a need to re-examine the concept of culture in mainstream psychiatric discourse.
  • Dominant thinking on culture in Indian psychiatry is exemplified by the 2011 DLN Murty Rao Oration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze inherent biases in psychiatric approaches by adopting an interdisciplinary perspective.

  • Interdisciplinary engagement with sociology, anthropology, and philosophy.
  • Review of theoretical and empirical resources in cultural psychiatry.

Main Results:

  • The dominant biological paradigm in Indian psychiatry has marginalized cultural considerations.
  • An interdisciplinary approach reveals biases and limitations in current psychiatric frameworks.
  • There is significant potential for integrating traditional and folk therapies into psychiatric practice.

Conclusions:

  • Reintegrating cultural perspectives is crucial for a more holistic and effective practice of psychiatry in India.
  • Engaging with cultural psychiatry can enrich the understanding of the Indian psyche.
  • Further dialogue and research are needed to bridge the gap between mainstream psychiatry and cultural considerations.
