Since you are at UCLA, there are a few articles on the interaction of the socially constructed definition of mental illness and cultural scripts, i.e., the underutilization of mental health serviuces among Southwest Latino populations as an aspect of a strong familial network and a deemphasis on medically labeling deviance. There is also an excellent article comparing diagnosis of schizophrenia versus bipolar disorder between French and British psychiatrists based on the DSM and the same medical charts, and how the same symptoms would often result in a different diagnosis depending on the country. I'll try to track down some specific references, but I hope this helps. Thanks in advance.
