Abstract
This paper discusses the clinical presentation of morbid jealousy in a south Asian country, Sri Lanka.The literature on maladaptive jealousy in the context of couple relationships suggests that culture may have a role in its expression and clinical manifestation.There is a dearth of empirical data on this issue. In this paper, these issues are discussed in brief, followed by some clinical data on the phenomenon. Data from a consecutive series of cases presenting at a psychiatric clinic in Sri Lanka are summarized, and key aspects are commented on.The general issues raised by the data are also discussed.
