Sažetak

The aim of this paper to describe what Transcultural Psychiatry is. It attempts to describe stigma in Malta and how it comes
about that the Mental Hospital in Malta is named for Our Lady of Mount Carmel and finally attempt to put Mount Carmel Hospital
and its dedication within Maltese Culture and the culture of the Mediterranean.
The paper demonstrates that to understand this, it is necessary to employ History, Anthropology, Theology, among other issues.
Doing this also suggests that Malta has undergone a process of ‘normalisation’ regarding treatment of Mental Health Problems.
