    Anthropological Genetics Anthropological genetics is a field that has been in existence since the 1960s and has been growing within medical schools and academic departments, such as anthropology and human biology, ever since. With the recent developments in DNA and computer technologies, the field of anthropological genetics has been redefined. This volume deals with the molecular revolution and how DNA markers can provide insight into the processes of evolution, the mapping of genes for complex phenotypes and the reconstruction of the human diaspora. In addition to this, there are explanations of the technological developments and how they affect the fields of forensic anthropology and population studies, alongside the methods of field investigations and their contribution to anthropological genetics. This book brings together leading figures from the field to provide an up-to-date introduction to anthropological genetics, aimed at advanced undergraduates to professionals, in genetics, biology, medicine and anthropology. Michael H. Crawford is Professor of Anthropology and Genetics at the University of Kansas, USA.

    PERCEPTIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN ISLAM: A TEXTUAL AND EXPERIENTAL ANALYSIS A Dissertation Presented by NADA ELTAIBA School of Social and Cultural Studies The University of Western Australia under the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2007 This thesis is presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the doctor of philosophy. A Dissertation Presented by Nada Eltaiba _________________________________________ School of Social & Cultural Studies University of Western Australia ABSTRACT PERCEPTIONS OF MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN ISLAM: A TEXTUAL AND EXPERIENTAL ANALYSIS In this research I analyse how mental health problems are perceived in two primary Islamic texts: the Qur’an (the holy book for Muslims and the Hadith (the sayings and traditions of Prophet Muhammad). I then integrate this analysis with the perceptions of a cohort of Jordanian Muslims about their mental health problems and treatment. Two important theoretical frameworks underpin this research, namely the post-colonial theorizing of scholars such as Edward Said, Franz Fanon, and Homi Bhabha, and the Explanatory Model of Arthur Kleinman. Research on the assessment and treatment of mental illness in Islamic and Arabic culture is limited. What literature does exist, suggests that in spite of the increase in research on cultural issues related to mental health, there is a strong need for further research to explore the nexus between culture, religion and mental health diagnosis and treatment in non-western cultures, in order to advance cultural sensitivity amongst mental health professions. This research fills this lacuna in mental health scholarship about the mental health awareness and experiences of Muslims. All of the interviews were conducted at the Mental Health Centre in Jordan, where twenty male and female participants were selected and then interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule.
