Widespread throughout Latin America, susto is a folk illness
associated with a broad array of symptoms. It is considered by
susceptible populations to be a sickness caused by the separation
of soul and body which is precipitated by a supernatural force.
Most studies of culture-bound diseases have relied on descriptive
approaches that focus on pathologies derived from medical
textbooks. This study takes an interdisciplinary approach, looking
for explanations of susto in the interaction of social,
physiological, and psychological factors.
