  • Research on severe mental illness in Indonesia

    Open AccessFlorin Cristea, Putu Aryani et al.ARTICLETranscultural Psychiatry2025

    Indonesia is a country of immense socio-cultural and economic diversity in Southeast Asia. Over the past century, Indonesia epitomized a colonial and post-colonial scientific laboratory for developing early interventions in international health, transcultural psychiatry, and Global Mental Health (GMH). Psychological and psychiatric anthropology have greatly benefited from research on the interplay between culture, mental health, and illness in In…

  • Navigating the Unknown

    Open AccessFlorin CristeaARTICLECulture Medicine and Psychiatry2025Referências: 66

    Mental pain is commonly defined as an experience situated on a continuum between cognitive appraisal of the painful event and the affective disposition of the person experiencing it. Drawing on ethnographic material and interviews on severe psychiatric disorders in Bali and Java, I will try to understand what mental pain does to the person experiencing it, as well as to their immediate environment. To answer this question, I will first describe t…

  • Global knowledge flows and the psychiatric encounter in Indonesia

    Open AccessFlorin Cristea, Putu Aryani et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology Quarterly2025Citada por: 1Referências: 49

    In this article, we examine the clinical encounters of people diagnosed with a severe mental illness (SMI). Drawing on more than 1-year of ethnographic research and interviews in Indonesia, we show that instances of moral self-reflection occurring in the process of acquiring and appropriating clinical insight emerge at the intersection of heterogeneous discursive regimes. When biomedical notions of health and illness dominate these discourses, th…

  • Communicating risk during early phases of Covid-19

    Open AccessBrogan Geurts, Heide Weishaar et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2023

    Background: Emergency risk communication (ERC) is key to achieving compliance with public health measures during pandemics. Yet, the factors that facilitated ERC during COVID-19 have not been analyzed. We compare ERC in the early stages of the pandemic across four socio-economic settings to identify how risk communication can be improved in public health emergencies (PHE). Methods: To map and assess the content, process, actors, and context of ER…

  • A comparative analysis of experienced uncertainties in relation to risk communication during Covid19

    Open AccessFlorin Cristea, Heide Weishaar et al.ARTICLEGlobalization and Health2022

    BACKGROUND: During outbreaks, uncertainties experienced by affected communities can influence their compliance to government guidance on public health. Communicators and authorities are, hence, encouraged to acknowledge and address such uncertainties. However, in the midst of public health crises, it can become difficult to define and identify uncertainties that are most relevant to address. We analyzed data on COVID-19-related uncertainties from…
