- Title
The critical impact of Frantz Fanon and Henri Collomb: Race, gender, and personality testing of North and West Africans.

- Abstract
In 2001, the U.S. Surgeon General declared publicly that culture counts in mental health care. This welcome recognition of the role of culture in mental health appears somewhat belated. In 1956, Frantz Fanon and Henri Collomb both presented culturally sensitive studies of the Thematic Apperception Test at the major French-language mental health conference. The contrast between these two studies and between the careers of Fanon and Collomb reveals some of the difficulties in creating cultural and gender sensitivity in psychiatry or psychology. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
