  • One of the first psychologists to investigate experimentally the role of gaze in human behaviour was Michael Argyle. In 1963 he set up a research group at Oxford with Ted Crossman and Adam Kendon, to study non-verbal communication in human social interaction, which included gaze as an important aspect of this behaviour. Shortly afterwards, Mark Cook joined this group which was funded until 1975, during which time considerable research on gaze had been carried out both at Oxford and elsewhere. This book summarises much of the work done in this field up until that time.

Reading About…

  • Cross-cultural Psychiatry

  • Simon Dein
  • Published online by Cambridge University Press:
    02 January 2018, pp. 561-564

  • “Insanity is then a part of the price we pay for civilisation. The causes of the one increase with the developments and results of the other” (Jarvis, 1851).

    Emil Kraepelin, while visiting southeast Asia at the turn of the century, noted the absence of depression among various Asian populations. He believed that mental disorders were organic diseases for which specific pathogens would ultimately be found. Despite the cultural variations in mental disorders he observed during his world trip in 1904, he considered mental disorder to be universal: “mental illness in Java showed broadly the same clinical picture as we see in our country … The overall similarity far outweighed the deviant features.”
