    Decolonising madness?

    How did psychiatrists and anthropologists from all over the world re-define the relationship between culture, race and individual psyche following the end of the Second World War and colonialism?

    What was the role of experts from the Global South and Eastern Europe in this transformative process?

    Did this new global and transcultural psychiatry succeed in departing from the erstwhile colonial frameworks?
