Dr. Satheesh Varma M. Assistant Professor in Chinmaya Vishwavidyapeeth’s School of Philosophy, Psychology and Scientific Heritage (PPSH), recently got a chapter titled ‘Culture and Mental Health in India’ (pages 387-398), published in ‘The Routledge International Handbook of Race, Culture and Mental Health’.
The handbook is considered an essential resource for students, researchers, and professionals alike as it addresses the complexity of mental health issues from a critical, global perspective. It presents a thorough examination of the intricate interplay of race, ethnicity, and culture in mental health—historical origins, subsequent transformations, and the discourses generated from past and present mental health and wellness practices.
