Abstract
Concern among black and ethnic minorities with current research in ‘transcultural psychiatry’ entails future work taking into account their collaboration to minimise the possibility that it is prejudicial to their interests. An instance is given of a project initiated by black community groups which looks at psychiatric conceptualisations of a diagnosis commonly used locally in inner-city Birmingham: cannabis psychosis. Responsibility remains with the researcher.
