Ethnopsychiatry in Central Australia

I. "Traditional" Illnesses in the Eastern Aranda People

J. E. CAWTE M.D., D.P.M.1

1 Senior Lecturer, Prince Henry Hospital, Little Bay, New South Wales, Australia

1. An apparently unusual incidence of mental disturbance is reported in the Yowera Aboriginal people of Central Australia, and the individual patterns are described.

2. For field purposes it is convenient to divide the patterns of illness into traditional, associated with Aboriginal belief, and transitional, associated with pressures of cultural assimilation. These classes overlap, but an attempt is made in this presentation to analyse the cultural and psychodynamic themes pertinent to each class.
