Like the epidemiology of cancer , heart disease or AIDS , psychiatric epidemiology is increasingly influencing national biopolitics and international health campaigns . Despite the importance of the discipline, this is the first book-length study of psychiatric epidemiology in history . It aims to completely chart the discipline’s growth and the use of its theories, practices, and resources to advance social goals . It sees the development of psychiatric epidemiology through these two lenses—conceptual and social . Additionally , its chapters serve as building blocks for that history as a multifaceted worldwide phenomena .

Instead of producing a uniform disciplinary field based on a shared paradigm , as may have happened in the epidemiology of cancer and cardiovascular disease, these divergent historical paths have produced a variety of psychiatric epidemiologies that are motivated by various intellectual issues , political strategies , reformist ideals , national cultures , colonial experiences , international influences and social control goals .

When taken as a whole , the chapters show the uneven worldwide evolution of epidemiologies that were created in various political and cultural zones but were influenced by the transnational exchange and deliberate assimilation of ideas , methods and skills . These traveled along multiple lanes both within and between the Global North and South . The chapters in this book, written by historians , anthropologists and psychiatrists , explore this complicated history with a focus on multicountry networks as well as Brazil, Nigeria , Senegal , India , Taiwan , Japan , the United Kingdom , the United States and Canada .
