Abstract
Eleven different ways in which culture is thought to increase the frequency of particular mental disorder is examined and a review of the evidence for each type of linkage is examined separately. This classification is expounded together with examples of studies, no one definitive, which are directed at testing each theory. The fact that a global, cross-cultural classification of mental disorders does not exist is discussed as a gap in the technical resources for studying these issues.
