摘要

The book Under the Gaze of Global Mental Health: A Critical Reflection offers a powerful critique of Euro-North American epistemology and biomedical universalism, which continue to shape global mental health policies and practices. The authors challenge the assumption that Euro-North American ways of understanding the mind and mental illness are universally valid, arguing instead that these frameworks reflect a colonial legacy with practical and epistemological consequences – particularly through the influence of international agencies.
