Abstract
The editors of Academic Psychiatry are proud to be able to bring to their readers the latest developments in teaching in culture and psychiatric education. We would like to introduce this special issue with a brief historical overview of the development of cultural psychiatry as a subspecialty area. Transcultural, or cross-cultural, psychiatry was recognized by APA in 1969 (1) and has since expanded and evolved as a field of study. Cross et al.s (2) seminal work in defining cultural competence, describing it as a continuum between cultural destructiveness and advanced cultural competence, was a key step in operationalizing cultural competence conceptually and systemically. Important regulatory milestones in the development of the field include the Title VI Civil Rights Act of 1964 (3), which forbade discrimination on the basis of sex and race in hiring, promoting, and firing. The Americans with Disabilities (ADA) Act was passed in 1990 (4) and prohibits private employers, state and local governments, employment agencies, and labor unions from discriminating against qualified individuals with disabilities in job application procedures, hiring, firing, advancement, compensation, job training, and other terms, conditions, and privileges of employment. In 1993, the State of California began a process that became known
