Byline: ANI Washington, July 8 (ANI): Brown University political scientist Ross Cheit has challenged two Harvard University psychiatrists' claims that the controversial psychiatric disorder called dissociative amnesia, aka repressed memory, is not a natural neuropsychological phenomenon, but instead a culture-bound syndrome, dating from the nineteenth century.
There are many culture-bound syndromes, for example, some of which are mentioned in the classification systems, and more new ones are fast emerging.
For example, the term koro refers to a culture-bound syndrome that may be related to BDD (APA, 2000).
