Gender and Sexuality/Mental Health in Cambodia

Dr. Trude Jacobsen (author of Lost Goddesses and expert on Gender and social issues in Cambodia) and Dr. Ken Wilcox are planning a joint paper on the state of Mental Health in Cambodia, with an examination of available resources and of perceptions of treatment from generation to generation. It will look at case studies from different generations, the impact of history and roles, masculinity and femininity, and family systems. It will continue to examine the phenomena of child rape in Cambodia and its impact on the individual and socially constructed realities surrounding it.
