Objective: To explore the extent of integration of traditional and western approaches in mental health care in Pacific Island Countries (PICs).Method: Examination of national mental health policies and literature review.Results: Traditional healers were included as resources for mental health in four of the seven policies that we were able to access. While their role in mental health care is widely acknowledged in the literature, there are few empirical studies exploring integration.Conclusion: Local research on integrative mental health care is needed to guide mental health policy and service development in PICs. Any research must include the full range of formal and informal service providers as well as patients and families. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
