In this article, we argue that the cultural models approach provides a useful framework for cultural‐clinical psychology. We begin with a brief review of this approach before presenting the distinction between cultural models for normalcy and deviancy. As well, we consider how both normalcy and deviancy can be culturally valorised or devalorised. Given that mental disorders do not always neatly fit with available cultural models, we offer evidence‐based examples of unscripted as well as scripted distress. We conclude by considering key hypothesis‐generating questions and some methodological approaches that could be used to improve and extend the evidence base underpinning the cultural models approach as applied to the study of culture and mental health.

常态和偏差的文化模型

在本文中，我们认为文化模型方法为文化临床心理学提供了有用的框架。我们首先简要介绍一下这种方法，然后介绍常态和偏差的文化模型之间的区别。同样，我们考虑了如何在文化上重视或偏离正常与偏离。鉴于精神障碍并不总是能与现有的文化模型完全契合，因此我们提供了基于证据的无脚本和有脚本困扰的示例。最后，我们考虑了关键的假设问题和一些方法论方法，这些方法论方法可用于改善和扩展用于文化模型方法的证据基础，该方法适用于文化和心理健康研究。
