Extract

In recent years there has been increasing interest in the sociocultural aspects of psychiatric disorders, particularly schizophrenia (World Health Organization, 1975; Sartorius et al, 1986). This has extended from multicentre international studies of prevalence, through national incidence or phenomenological studies in different ethnic groups (Cochrane, 1977; Teggin et al, 1985), to outcome assessments in different cultures (Sartorius et al, 1986, 1987).
