In the World of WAIMH Joshua Sparrow remarks that infant mental health workers attempting to repair the disruptions of family eco-systems caused by natural or human-made disasters in cultures different to their own, they often bring interventions from their own cultures, along with the unexamined belief systems and cultural constructs that underlie them.
