20102010 CAPS CAPS INTERNATIONALINTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE CONFERENCE

• Psychology and counseling now operate in a context of a global community despite being originally rooted in a white, Western framework.

• How can CAPS organize itself to better facilitate more inclusiveness, dialogue and fundamental change?

• And why should this be a priority?

“Mental health is closely linked with virtually all global public health priorities.”

– The Moral Case for International Mental Health, Editorial, American Journal of Psychiatry (2006).

The methodological “conversion” of Dr. Anthony Marsella

"That night, I threw all my papers up in the air and I said, 'Either everyone is crazy, I'm crazy or there really are different realities.'"

“We need a new psychology. It's no longer sufficient to train our students in isolation of other disciplines, from students across the world, from contact with different cultures. We need a psychology attuned to the changing times, a psychology that is alert to ethnocentric biases inherent in the Western academia psychology and one that values the diverse psychologies of the world."

Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Harvard Medical School• “rethinking psychiatry” (Arthur Kleinman’s term), • placing social and cultural forces at the intellectual and research

core of psychiatry and mental health care; • de-centering and ‘decolonizing’ psychiatric research and

knowledge, – criticizing ethnocentric practices that base psychiatric

knowledge nearly exclusively on research with majority populations in North America and Europe, and

– demonstrating the importance of diverse populations, societies and cultures for basic knowledge of human experience and psychopathology;

• addressing issues of social justice and human rights associated with disparities in access to good quality mental health care; and

• placing mental health firmly on the agenda for global health.
