Latah in South-East Asia: The History and Ethnography of a Culture-bound Syndrome - Publications of the Society for Psychological Anthropology
Winzeler, Robert L. (University of Nevada, Reno)
Latah, the Malayan hyperstartle pattern, has fascinated Western observers since the late nineteenth century, and is widely considered a 'culture-bound syndrome'. This study critically reviews the literature, and presents new ethnographic information, concluding that latah serves specific social functions, and should not be treated as an 'illness' or 'syndrome'.
