This paper discusses a pilot teaching programme on cultural aspects of psychiatry undertaken as part of the academic programme of the Department of Psychiatry, Cambridge University. The aim of the programme was to stimulate thinking about psychiatric phenomena in a different, more culturally aware perspective. Feedback was collected from participants through an evaluation questionnaire following the series. More practical and experiential teaching of cultural psychiatry is needed.
