In this article, the Author’s opening remark immediately shows which should be the cultural psychiatrist’s most proper approach to the diachronic and ethnographic broadness of the human struggle for maintaining well-being: “People have sought comfort for their miseries and a cure for their troubles since prehistoric time” (Romm, 1994). The following paragraphs are focused on an epistemological progression that step by step elucidates the state of the art of national and international psychiatry. I wish to extensively quote most of the Author’s reflections, since they go straight to the core of the topics addressed, resulting in a summary, rather than a review.
