title: [The transformation of medicine in post-Mao China].
abstract: The article regards the Chinese medicine and the transformation of psychiatry in the post-modern China. Politics health, in China's Republic brought about an improvement in the living standard of the people. Nowdays, after a period of isolation, both medicine and psychiatry, in China, have hit the same technological level than the western ones. However, because of cultural isolation and the new market economy, there are some theoretical and clinical contradictions. These have caused a slackening in the research and the living standard of the people.
