Preferred term

falling out (syndrome)  

Definition(s)

  • The anthropological literature describes traditional ways that African Americans express psychiatric distress and other forms of emotions. Data gathered through clinical case reports, in-depth household interviews, and a review of emergency services records in the city of Miami all point to falling out as a culture-bound syndrome.
