Hi.

     Would anybody be able to guide me to works on the notion of 
'cultural logic', and/or any analytic methodologies for getting at it?  I 
am planning to compare construction and the course of psychosis 
(schizophrenia) in two different contexts (north america and the middle 
east), and I am wondering if I could use 'cultural logic' as a point of 
comparison.  The term itself is quite tempting, but I don't know much 
about the concept, and I'm not sure how easy or sound an analysis it 
might be in practice.

     Any comments would be quite appreciated!

     Thanks in advance.
