作为一个拥有几千年中华文化传统，而今被卷入全球化与现代性转型之中的国家，独特的社会历史文化脉络“形塑”出具有“文化特异性”的心理健康议题，更需要立基于文化视角的解读。国外跨文化取向的心理健康研究启发出我国心理健康研究的“文化意识”，而华人心理学界基于“文化主体性”探寻而采取的一系列研究行动则有力地推动了以“生活现象”为本的心理健康知识体系和以“地域文化”为架构的心理健康理论体系的构建。在相当长时间内，研究和认识心理健康相关议题在本土文化中的属性与特征，发现和揭示本土文化与心理健康问题成因之间的关系，探索文化因素与心理健康促进及心理疾病的预防、治疗和康复方式的相互建构过程及特性应当成为我国心理健康研究的主要目标。本辑共刊发11篇论文，其中既有从文化共量性角度对本土概念的探索、对影响心理健康状况的文化因素的研究，也有针对社会互动脉络中“生命经验”的深描，还有对文化因素与心理干预之间相互建构的尝试性探讨，展示了基于文化视角的心理健康研究的最新成果。
