图书描述

From Publishers Weekly:

If you thought McDonald's and strip malls were the ugliest of America's cultural exports, think again. Western ideas about mental illness-from anorexia to post-traumatic stress disorder, schizophrenia, general anxiety and clinical depression-as well as Western treatments have been sweeping the globe with alarming speed, argues journalist Watters (Urban Tribes), and are doing far more damage than Big Macs and the Gap. In this well-traveled, deeply reported book, Watters takes readers from Hong Kong to Zanzibar, to Tsunami ravaged Sri Lanka, to illustrate how distinctly American psychological disorders have played in far-off locales, and how Western treatments, from experimental, unproven drugs to talk therapy, have clashed with local customs, understandings and religions. While the book emphasizes anthropological findings at the occasional expense of medical context, and at times skitters into a broad indictment of drug companies and Western science, Watters builds a powerful case. He argues convincingly that cultural differences belie any sort of western template for diagnosing and treating mental illness, and that the rapid spread of American culture threatens our very understanding of the human mind: "We should worry about the loss of diversity in the world's differing conceptions of treatments for mental illness in the same way we worry about the loss of biodiversity in nature."

想起实务课的第一节prof说面对自费therapy的client他从来都不下诊断，因为diagnosis的作用除了应付保险公司别无其他。psychiatry其实作为一个发展了还不到100年的学问，其存在合理性一直在被质疑，这些质疑的声音甚至也来自于很多从业者，但是Anti-psychiatry和Anti-APA/DSM是两回事，这是很难分离的

评个三星半吧。读到后面实在有点不耐烦，因为重复性太强了。作者的主要观点在一开始就已经表达出来了，感觉整本书都在用故事来支持他的观点。作者用叙述故事的手法也可能正是为了增强内容的可读性。人所处的社会文化不仅会影响人对精神疾病的感受（比如东方人提供更多生理症状，而西方人更多心理症状）而且也会影响社会对某种疾病或者症状的接受程度。作者先是谴责了美国精神疾病学家在传播专业知识上的盲目和偏见，其次又指出了西方药物对其他文化环境中的精神病人微乎其微的作用。但就像作者在结尾提出的那样，美国精神病学家也只是用他们的知识在救人，而不是再害人，也许他们的人道主义精神多少能够弥补一些他们激进的知识轰炸吧。

作者当然是有立场的，但全书的定调努力实事求是。因吾辈非受西方文明教化长大，环顾四周，能发现更多文化环境与心理健康之间的相互影响与关系。问题是，在全球一体化的时代下，在诸如社会心理学这种领域内，如何求同存异，却是相当复杂的。作者最后也是无解。
