Abstract：
The bio-medical model of \'mental health\' and \'mental illness\' that relates to the relationship between wellbeing and distress informs psychopathology and dominates conceptualisation in many Western Educated Industrialised Rich Democratic (WEIRD) populations. This paper aims to critique the model, questioning the appropriateness of psychopathology as a conceptual framework when working as a Western trained clinician with populations such as in China, Japan, Asia, the Middle-East and Africa. The paper also considers the cultural appropriateness of western notions of psychopathology when working inter-culturally in relation to the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings, and the Review of the Implementation of the IASC Guidelines on Mental Health and Psychosocial Support in Emergency Settings.

与幸福与痛苦之间的关系有关的“心理健康”和“精神疾病”的生物医学模型为精神病理学提供了信息，并在许多西方受过教育的工业化富裕民主（WEIRD）人群中占主导地位。本文旨在对模型进行批判，质疑精神病理学作为一个概念框架的适当性，当工作作为一个西方受过训练的临床医生与人口，如在中国，Japan,亚洲,中东和非洲。本文还考虑了西方精神病理学概念在与机构间常设委员会（IASC）《紧急情况下心理健康和社会心理支持准则》进行跨文化工作时的文化适用性，以及《机构间常设委员会关于紧急情况下心理健康和社会心理支持的准则》的执行情况审查。
