520    "A riveting exploration of the phenomenon of psychosomatic
       disorders, mass hysteria, and other culture-bound 
       syndromes occurring around the world. In Sweden, hundreds 
       of refugee children fall asleep for months and years at a 
       time. In upstate New York, teenage girls develop 
       involuntary twitches and seizures that spread like a 
       contagion. In the US Embassy in Cuba, employees experience
       headaches and memory loss after hearing strange noises in 
       the night. There are more than 200 officially listed 
       culture-bound syndromes--specific sets of symptoms that 
       exist in a particular culture--affecting people around the
       world. In The Sleeping Beauties, Dr. Suzanne O'Sullivan--a
       prize winning British neurologist--investigates 
       psychosomatic disorders and mass hysteria, traveling the 
       world to visit communities suffering from these so-called 
       "mystery" illnesses. From a derelict post-Soviet mining 
       town in Kazakhstan, to the Mosquito Coast of Nicaragua, to
       the heart of the Maria Mountains in Colombia, O'Sullivan 
       records the remarkable stories of culture-bound syndromes 
       related by an array of people from all walks of life. She 
       presents these curious and often distressing case studies 
       of seeming mass hysteria with compassion and humanity, 
       persuasively arguing that psychological suffering demands 
       much greater respect and discussion than it's given at 
       present. In attempting to understand the complexity of 
       psychogenic illness, O'Sullivan has given us a book of 
       both fascination and serious concern as these syndromes 
       continue to proliferate around the globe"--|cProvided by
