| Summary: | In the realm of Mental Health Sciences, the pursuit of attaining psychological well-being is a universal aspiration. However, the path to achieving psychological well-being is significantly shaped by diverse cultural and societal influences. An examination of the current body of

It is within this intricate interplay between culture and psychological well-being
that we embark on a journey through the pages of this book. |
