Abstract :We live in a modern world surrounded by technological achievements and medical progress. However, chronic physical disease prevails, as do mental health and addiction problems. How can researchers analyse and better understand this situation? How can society reduce and heal these ailments? It is something that Gabor Mate’s The Myth of Normal: Illness, Health and Healing in A Toxic Culture (2022) investigates, asking questions about modern society and disease and showing how they are interrelated. His argument is a broad and deep cultural criticism that addresses culture, stress, trauma, health, and unmet developmental needs.
Keywords : kültür, şifa, toplum, toksik, travma
