| dbo:abstract | Amok syndrome is an aggressive dissociative behavioral pattern derived from Malaya and led to the English phrase, "running amok." The word derives from the Malay word amuk, traditionally meaning "an episode of sudden mass assault against people or objects, usually by a single individual, following a period of brooding, which has traditionally been regarded as occurring especially in Malaysian culture but is now increasingly viewed as psychopathological behavior". The syndrome of "Amok" is found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV TR) but it is important to make note that there is new information regarding the syndrome due to the DSM-V and the improvements or changes that have been made. The main change regarding the condition is that Amok syndrome is no longer considered a culture-bound syndrome in the DSM-V, the main reason being that the category of culture-bound syndrome has been removed. In 1849, Amok was officially classified as a psychiatric condition based on numerous reports and case studies that showed the majority of individuals who committed amok were, in some sense, mentally ill. "Running amok," is used to refer to the behavior of someone who, in the grip of strong emotion, obtains a weapon, which is usually a gun, and begins attacking people usually ending in the murdering of an innumerable number of people. For about twenty years, this type of behavior has been described as a culture-bound syndrome. According to the DSM-V, the culture-bound syndrome category has been removed, meaning that this particular condition would no longer be categorized as such. Culture-bound syndromes are seen as those conditions that only occur in certain societies whereas standard psychiatric diagnoses are not seen that way regardless if there is some sort of cultural limitation. This list contains German amok cases with at least three casualties (not including the perpetrator). It does not include familicides, gang-related crimes, or incidents with fewer than three casualties. In all cases the perpetrator is not counted among those killed or injured. Religious, political, or racial crimes are covered in another section. All abbreviations used in the tables are explained . (en) |
