人类学家、项目代表和科学同行评审员之间相互不互动的自我延续循环导致了NIMH研究组合中几乎没有民族志。随之而来的忽视的背景和意义的发现源于记忆支持这个机构已经产生了巨大的，但很少赞赏的后果。这篇评论说明了在整合民族志，诊断和流行病学技术研究美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加原住民的心理健康问题的过程中所吸取的教训。这些经验教训表明，在不同学科和文化的不同认知方式之间建立桥梁，可以带来各种好处。
A self-perpetuating cycle of mutual noninteraction among anthropologists, program representatives, and scientific peer reviewers has led to the near absence of ethnography in the NIMH research portfolio. The ensuing inattention to the context and meaning of findings emanating from memory supported by this agency has had enormous, bur seldom appreciated consequences. This commentary illustrates lessons learned in the course of integrating ethnographic, diagnostic, and epidemiologic techniques to study mental health problems among American Indians and Alaska Natives. These lessons demonstrate the benefits to be gained by building bridges across different ways of knowing, in terms of disciplines as well as cultures.
