520 |a The purpose of this study is to reach a better understanding of the perceptions of minor mental problems (MMP) held by well-educated urban Chinese people in contemporary China, both within and outside of the context of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). The methodological approach adopted in this study is qualitative and exploratory. The results are based on observations of and interviews with six practitioners and students of TCM and eight laypeople from three urban sites. MMP are not labelled as disorders or illnesses, but as challenges in daily living and lack of harmonious relationships. "Life problems" rather than sickness, is the category that best summarises the perceptions of MMP among Chinese people. This points to a salutogenetic perspective, reflecting perceptions of mental health and MMP as processes of adaption and interpretation of meaning, rather than medical conditions or sickness.
