Mental Disorder: Anthropological Insights

I would certainly use this book for teaching undergraduates and graduates. Khan should be commended for skillfully weaving her way through a minefield of debates, controversies, and the thorny and controverted discourses that clash between the professions. Arthur Kleinman, Harvard University

Mental Disorder provides a valuable introduction to the central issues and concerns of the anthropology of psychiatry and mental health. Well-conceptualized discussion questions and carefully chosen ideas for further reading and viewing make the text a key pedagogical aid. Eugene Raikhel, University of Chicago
