Three Cases of Psychosis Among the Eskimos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 08 February 2018
Extract
The study of actual instances of psychosis among non-literate peoples can enhance our understanding of the relationship between mental illness and the society in which it occurs. Analysis of case histories may enable us to see how social, biological and psychological factors reciprocally influence each other to produce mental disease. Some light may be thrown on the question whether or not there is a common nucleus of aberration which is universally manifested.
