  • Title: The Hopi Indian's mourning hallucinations.
    Author: Shen WW.
    Journal: J Nerv Ment Dis; 1986 Jun; 174(6):365-7. PubMed ID: 3711880.
    Abstract:
    One of the 76 alcoholic patients with hallucinations studied in an inpatient alcoholism service was a 24-year-old half-Hopi Pueblo Indian male, who developed a prolonged course of hallucinations after the death of his father. The author suggests that hallucinating experiences might be pathognomy-specific to the Hopi Indians' mourning process, to allow the release of their intensive feelings.
