The Relevance of Person-Centered Ethnography to Cross-Cultural Psychiatry

Douglas Hollan, PHD

UCLA, California

In this article the relevance of person-centered ethnography to cross-cultural psychiatry is discussed. The term person-centered ethnography is first defined, the historical development of this line of anthropological research is traced, and how and why it might be used in cross-cultural psychiatry is examined. Following this introduction current developments in person-centered ethnography are reviewed, while focusing especially on the strengths and limitations of different styles and approaches. General trends and new directions in the field are addressed, rather than examining or referring to details of particular studies.

Key Words: cross-cultural psychiatry • embodiment • person-centered ethnography • psychocultural anthropology
