N2 - In this article I examine the unintended consequences of global mental health reform in postwar South Lebanon. I follow the integration of mental health in primary health care centers. Three key tensions emerge: First, integrating mental health led to separating mental health from socioeconomic conditions. Second, culture was simultaneously conceived as a barrier to therapy and a local context requiring adaptation. Third, the use of personality disorders as psychological interpretations of social life resulted in psychologizing gender and class. The article contributes to growing ethnographic research on global mental health and calls for attention to structural competence in similar settings.
