Contextual psychiatry

Contextual psychiatry is an approach that emphasizes understanding a person's mental health within their broader life context, including relationships, cultural background, and environment. It recognizes that symptoms are interconnected with a person's history, social factors, and their relationships, rather than just individual biology. Treatment focuses on creating meaningful change by addressing these relational and contextual influences, fostering healing through authentic connection, ethical engagement, and personalized intervention. This approach aims to promote genuine well-being by considering the whole person in their unique social and cultural setting.
