Abstract

This commentary examines Thomas Adeoye Lambo's seminal 1955 article 'The Role of Cultural Factors in Paranoid Psychosis among the Yoruba Tribe,' published in the <i>Journal of Mental Science</i>, as the <i>British Journal of Psychiatry</i> was then known. Seventy years later, this groundbreaking work remains profoundly relevant to contemporary psychiatric practice and research.
