在本文中，我提出了将文化融入发展精神病理学的路线图。这种整合迫在眉睫，因为文化仍然与发展精神病理学的理论、研究、培训和干预有些脱节，从而限制了我们对心理健康后生的理解。我认为，为了成功地将文化融入发展精神病理学，至关重要的是（a）研究文化发展，（b）考虑个人层面和社会层面的文化过程，（c）检查文化与生物学之间的相互作用，以及（d）促进改进和直接的文化评估。我提供了支持这些指南的证据，提出了替代的概念框架，并提出了新的研究方向。希望这些方向能够为文化发展和精神病理学的新兴领域做出贡献，该领域的重点是阐明启动、维持或破坏正常和异常行为轨迹的文化过程。
In this paper, I propose a roadmap for the integration of culture in developmental psychopathology. This integration is pressing because culture continues to be somewhat disconnected from theory, research, training, and interventions in developmental psychopathology, thus limiting our understanding of the epigenesis of mental health. I argue that in order to successfully integrate culture into developmental psychopathology, it is crucial to (a) study cultural development, (b) consider both individual-level and social-level cultural processes, (c) examine the interplay between culture and biology, and (d) promote improved and direct cultural assessment. I provide evidence in support of each of these guidelines, present alternative conceptual frameworks, and suggest new lines of research. Hopefully, that these directions will contribute to the emerging field of cultural development and psychopathology, which focuses on the elucidation of the cultural processes that initiate, maintain, or derail trajectories of normal and abnormal behavior.
