Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche by Ethan Watters

5.0

Not only does America export a crazy-making culture, we infect other cultures with our mental health diagnoses so as to create mental illnesses in cultures that didn’t have them. Fascinating and sad. Our daughter is in Brazil studying attitudes toward mental illness and treatments among Candomblé practitioners in the Northeast of Brazil. Is she part of the problem or of the solution?
