Abstract

The authors reflect on westernization in the face of modern conflicts and Arab uprisings and their impact on mental health care institutions. They explain the growing violations of the Geneva Conventions that target the health and psychiatric institutions at the expense of staff and patients as a symbol of westernization. The authors believe that the Islamic cultures have greatly contributed to the progress of medicine and mental health care.
