mental health: historical/cultural contexts

Yep, good additions. Thanks. And serves as well to highlight for others in the course and/or dropping by two additional points. The more obvious is that suggestions for additional topics are indeed welcome. The less obvious (my fault for not making this clear) is that I didn't include on the list topics that I expected to treat myself (at least to some extent) in the initial, pre-programmed course sessions. "Pulling apart middle class western assumptions" re "normalcy" by (among other things) cross cultural/historical contrast was indeed omitted from the topic list but very much on my mind. And certainly cultural/historical contrast should be on any compete list of topics for a course of this kind. As should be "class and/or race," "government," and "religion."
