Abstract

The influence of psychosocial factors in the general aetiology of disease is examined with particular reference to the notions of vulnerability and susceptibility. Cultural definitions are considered as well as cultural variations in help-seeking behaviour. Analysis concludes by looking at eight patterns of help-seeking behaviour.
