  • Title: The importance of cultural factors in a brief reactive psychosis.
    Author: Krieger MJ, Zussman M.
    Journal: J Clin Psychiatry; 1981 Jun; 42(6):248-9. PubMed ID: 7240107.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews the case of a time-limited or brief reactive psychosis in a Thai immigrant. Although the patient claimed to have left behind his Thai culture, his previous Buddhist background proved extremely stressful when confronted with a family mortuary ritual. The importance of understanding and working with a patient's previous cultural and religious beliefs is discussed.
