Abstract
Two Hawaiian Japanese ethnic categories, Japanese "proper" (Naichi) and Okinawans were studied by IKEDA and his coworkers in order to determine whether ethnicity is correlated with greater or lesser risk of schizophrenia. The relationship between socio-cultural and personality factors among Eskimos and psychopathological symptoms are discussed by S. PARKER. L. B. BOYER, a psychoanalyst, and RUTH BOYER, an anthropologist, jointly studied in fluences of acculturation on the personality traits of the old people of the Mescalero and Chiricahua Apaches. B. WAINRIB and her coworkers investigated mental health and intellectual development of children on a Canadian Mohawk Indian reservation. An account is given of a snake-handling cult that has recently spread through certain lower-class Protestant groups in the American South East in WESTON LA BARRE'S book, They Shall Take Up Serpents. The cult leaders, the congregation and the social setting are described.
