Culture and Dissociation in Toraja

Douglas Hollan

University of California, Los Angeles

This article examines the extent to which some psychoanalytic ideas about dissociation and its correlates are useful in helping us to understand possession behavior and related phenomena in places such as Toraja, Indonesia. Although some of these ideas can be useful to us, data from Toraja challenge us to modify some key psychoanalytic assumptions about dissociation. The article demonstrates how cross-cultural data can be used to broaden our perspectives on the construction and breakdown of human consciousness.

Key Words: dissociation • Indonesia • possession • psychoanalysis • Toraja
