S'interrogeant sur ce qu'il est d'usage d'appeler "l'anthropologie médicale chez soi" (expression dont il convient de souligner la complexité épistémologique), l'auteur examine les récents développements que connaît depuis quelques années cette discipline. La mise en regard des recherches conduites dans les sociétés occidentales et de celles conduites dans les sociétés dites "exotiques" vise d'une part à montrer ce que les premières ont reçu en héritage, et d'autre part, ce que, en retour, elles ont apporté à l'anthropologie médicale dans son ensemble, en contribuant à affirmer sa spécificité disciplinaire et en faisant évoluer la réflexion sur des questions d'ordre anthropologique général. As she considers what is called to-day "Medical Anthropology at Home" (an epistemologically complex expression), the author examines the recent developments of this discipline these last years. The comparison of the researches led in western societies and of those led in so-called "exotic" societies, aims at showing, on the one hand, what the first have inherited from the second, and on the other hand, what they have, in turn, brought to medical anthropology as a whole by contributing to assert its disciplinary specificity and by helping to the development of the reflection concerning issues in general social anthropology.

There have been major changes to mental health services internationally in recent years revolving around the concept of care in the community. Although speed of change and precise service mechanisms differ between countries there is nevertheless increasingly widespread consensus on key components essential to adequate care provision. This in turn provides an opportunity to develop a widely acceptable model framework to direct future developments. There is certainly still room for reform in recognition of specific needs and improvements in treatment and care intervention. This book proposes a simple model which can be used as a guide to increased clinical effectiveness through focused evidence-based reform. Using a time/space framework, it is intended to act as a practical aid to diagnosis of strengths and weaknesses in services that will be used by care providers, trainees and planners both at local and higher levels.
