Dr. Laurence J. Kirmayer’s research focuses on the integration of culture in psychiatric theory, services and practice. In this context ‘culture’ refers not simply to ethnicity but to all of the socially constructed or shared aspects of human identity and experience and so is a crucial dimension of every individual and community. Dr. Kirmayer works with Indigenous communities in Canada, immigrants and refugees, and in global mental health.
Our studies use frameworks and methods from medical and psychological anthropology, cognitive science, and the philosophy of psychiatry. I co-direct the McGill Culture, Mind and Brain program where we aim to develop ways to bridge neuroscience and social science to better understand health and illness in real-world contexts. I founded the annual McGill Summer Program in Social and Cultural Psychiatry, the JGH Cultural Consultation Service and the online Multicultural Mental Health Resource Centre.
