1.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't get through it., October 18, 2007

Regular Jane "Muse" (Bangor, PA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Culture and Depression: Studies in the Anthropology and Cross-Cultural Psychiatry of Affect and Disorder (Culture & Depression) (Paperback)

This would be a good book for a term paper or essay, but not for pleasure reading, which is what I wanted it for.
