SynopsisWest Bengal: Its Contribution to Indian Psychiatry is an ode to the stalwarts and iconic mental health institutions of West Bengal, India, which over the ages have taken a pioneering role in popularizing psychiatry as a branch of modern medicine among the general population. Preserving history is a necessary part of the growth of any civilization and preserving academic history is the integral part of the growth of any branch of modern medicine. This book archives the works in the field of major mental disorders, common mental disorders, culture-bound syndromes, community psychiatry, social psychiatry, child and adolescent psychiatric disorders, addictive disorders, sexual disorders, psychology, and psychotherapy which originated from the soil of West Bengal. The book is first of its kind which showcases the rich academic heritage of West Bengal in the field of psychiatry. The book is like revisiting the history of psychiatry in West Bengal, which will enthrall the future generations of psychiatrists and motivate them to do much more to serve the people and the field we are working on. The book is also a representation of the pride of West Bengal in the field of medicine and it will be effective in engaging the readers not only from West Bengal, but also from all over India to recognize the contribution West Bengal has made to the national arena.
