While the major psychiatric disorders described in current nosology can be found among the Inuit of Northern Québec (Nunavik), there are important cultural influences on the symptomatology, social response and course of these disorders. A literature review, consideration of experiences with psychiatric consultation among the Inuit and the preliminary results of ongoing ethnographic research underscore the importance of the study of Inuit ethnopsychology and current attitudes toward the mentally ill in developing culturally sensitive psychiatric care.
虽然当前疾病分类学中描述的主要精神障碍在魁北克北部的因纽特人（努纳维克）中都能找到，但这些障碍的症状表现、社会反应及病程受到重要的文化影响。一项文献综述、对因纽特人精神科咨询经历的考量以及正在进行的人种志研究的初步结果，都强调了在发展具有文化敏感性的精神科护理过程中，研究因纽特人种族心理学及当前对精神疾病患者态度的重要性。
