內容簡介
內容簡介 Bridging Psychology and Anthropology, this volume critiques dominant models such as psychoanalysis and the biopsychosocial framework. Drawing on cross-cultural case studies -from Hasidic healing to jinn possession, it argues for plural approaches that integrate biological, psychodynamic and sociocultural perspectives to better understand human experience.
