The author presents examples of pathogenic influence of culture.

R. L. BERGMAN reports on the Navajo use of the mescaline-containing cactus peyote. He claims that their reactions to the ritual intake of peyote are beneficial and sometimes therapeutic, due to the cultural values and collective expectations which give positive meaning to the use of peyote.

He found significant differences in the frequency of depressive states and in the nature of depressive ideas on comparison of patients in these two countries. In his treatise on guilt experience and climate, Kimura tries to reduce cultural differences of psychic phenomena and the variations …
