This volume discusses how recurrent brief-psychotic episodes represent an alternative, culturally shaped dissociative response to trauma and as such that trauma-imbued lulik symbols become sufficient to evoke the trauma-related patterns of distress described. The authors develop a contextually grounded and systemically informed dual model of psychotic and psychotic-like symptoms, which may represent an understandable reflection of traumatic structural dissociation, or, a form of culturally patterned dissociative-conversion process, predicated on popularised local understanding of madness. Narrative is proposed as the bridge between anthropological and traumatic models of dissociative-psychotic phenomena, and culture itself is argued to be a key organising principle bringing greater coherence to fragmented states of mind. Links between brief and more chronic psychotic states are also explored, in dialogue with the question of better outcomes for psychosis in "the developing world". § The relatively common occurrence of rapid onset, very brief but florid psychotic-like states, with periodic recurrence, alongside low rates of PTSD and chronic psychosis were unexpected findings from the East Timor Mental H ealth Study, conducted in the context of recently won independence and in the wake of the atrocities endured in the protracted fight for sovereignty. Further unanticipated was the frequent association of recurrence with the time of the new moon (fulan lotuk) and other times-places of sacred (lulik) cultural significance, while the perceived violation of culturally sacrosanct lulik obligations often appeared to foreshadow the onset of such patterns of distress. Significant episodes of trauma and loss appeared a hidden feature of affected individuals histories, which have become symbolically entwined with local cultural understandings of ritual obligation, sacredness, and taboo.§
