Henri F. Ellenberger (1905-1993) was a physician and a pioneering figure in transcultural psychiatry, criminology, and the history of medicine. Emmanuel Delille is an historian of science and a researcher at the Centre Marc Bloch. Jonathan Kaplansky is a literary translator. He lives in Montreal.
What is the relationship between culture and mental health? Is mental illness universal? Are symptoms of mental disorders different across social groups? In the late 1960s these questions gave rise to a series of articles by Henri Ellenberger, presented here for the first time in English.
