PSYCHIATRISTS
AND TRADITIONAL HEALERS Unwitting Partners in Global Mental Health.
Incayawar M, Wintrob R, Bouchard L (editors)
Wiley, April 2009.
WPA-TPS and Runajambi (Institute for the Study of
Quichua Culture and Health) are pleased to announce the
publication of a unique book. It is titled “Psychiatrists and
Traditional Healers: Unwitting Partners in Global Mental Health”,
published by John Wiley & Sons.
This book is the result of a fruitful collaboration
between WPA-TPS and Runajambi (Otavalo, Ecuador). It includes the
contributions of 20 international scholars. The book has evolved from
the international conference on "Psychiatrists and Healers: Unwitting
Partners - A Challenge for Transcultural Psychiatry in Times of
Globalization," held in Quito, Ecuador in May, 2005. The conference was
organized by Mario Incayawar, M.D., Director of Runajambi, and was
jointly sponsored by WPA-TPS and Runajambi.
