Mad Travellers: Reflections on the Reality of Transient Mental Illnesses
Ian Hacking
This text uses the case of Albert Dadas, the first diagnosed "mad traveller", to weigh the legitimacy of cultural versus physical symptoms in the diagnosis of psychiatric disorders. The author argues that psychological symptoms find niches where transient illnesses flourish.
