Susto: A Folk Illness (Comparative Studies of Health Systems and Medical Care)
"The study is a model of its kind. . . . The question of whether  there  are culture-specific illnesses ultimately may prove to be unanswerable.  But it  needs to be addressed, and Rubel, O'Nell, and Collado have moved that  effort a  long step forward."  --David Landy, Science"Unlike so much research in ethnomedicine, [Susto] goes beyond  an emic,  descriptive analysis to explore a folk defined illness in a  methodologically  sophisticated manner. . . . An innovative and valuable book."  --Michael  H. Logan,  Reviews in  Anthropology
