"Re-Visioning Psychiatry is a fresh attempt to examine the philosophical, cultural, and neuroscience underpinnings of psychiatry to ensure that it will be fit for purpose in the twenty-first century. The editors deserve our thanks for bringing together an impressive array of ideas to ensure that in the turmoil of debates on biology versus social determinants of health, patients do not get forgotten and receive the best treatments, taking into account their individual needs." Dineah Bhugra, CBE, Emeritus Professor of Mental Health and Diversity, Institute of Psychiatry, King's College London, and President, World Psychiatric Association. "The world has waited far too long for this visionary book and its diamondlike chapters from world experts, together showing the natural links between psychiatric phenomenology, genetics, neuroscience, culture, environment, and the mind sciences. The powerful blend of perspectives reveals a more wholesome, humanistic, and scientifically elegant understanding of brain and mind. For far too long scientific endeavors have been enslaved by disciplinary part-objects, whether anatomical, physiological, or chemical.The editors and authors should be very proud to have contributed to a new integrated science of psychiatry, at the heart of medicine, at the heart of society, and fully cognizant of the social, political, and economic contexts."
Kamaldeep Bhui, President, World Association of Cultural Psychiatry, and Professor of Cultural Psychiatry and Epidemiology, Queen Mary University of London
