Abstract
What is culturally informed psychiatry? What does it mean, and why is it

important? These questions are discussed with a focus on the cultural aspects of the

clinical encounter. The DSM-5

Outline for Cultural Formulation

was developed as a

method of assessing the cultural factors affecting the clinical encounter. It calls for the

assessment of the cultural features of the relationship between the patient and the

clinician; however, there is a lack of debate about what this means in practice.

Clinicians run the risk of withdrawal rather than cultural understanding when facing

patients with different cultural backgrounds. Using ethnographic material from

anthropological fieldwork, I suggest that the encounter with cultural differences could

be a useful point of departure for the clinician to develop cultural understanding. It is

argued that recognising the experiences of differences is crucial in strengthening

transcultural communication and preventing misdiagnosis in the clinician

-

patient

encounter.
