Funded Activity Summary

Imagining Indonesian psychiatry: Past, present, and future. This research project will result in the first history of psychiatry in a non-Western country. The project will investigate how psychiatry developed in Indonesia, a developing country where Islam is the dominant religion, by analysing the ideas of Indonesian psychiatrists on the nature and treatment of mental disorder. The project will analyse their ideas on the role of cultural factors in the expression of mental illness and the influence of Western ideas. Mental disorder constitutes a significant and increasing burden of death and disability around the world. In articles and a monograph, this study aims to present the perspective of Indonesian psychiatrists on the development, the current state, and the challenges their disciplines face in the near future.
