Ayurvedic Psychiatry, Medical Pluralism and the Movement for Global Mental Health

Prof. Dr. Murphy Halliburton, The City University of New York (USA), Department of Anthropology

Driven by the Movement for Global Mental Health, the WHO and the developmentalist impulses of the Indian state, the hegemony of biomedical psychiatry has expanded in India, a place that has long been home to a diversity of therapeutic modalities. This paper responds critically to this trend and examines efforts by ayurvedic practitioners to claim a larger role for ayurveda in public mental health services in the state of Kerala in the face of this growing hegemony. The paper further argues for maintaining a pluralistic healing environment rather than displacing other healing modalities in favor of a single approach.
