Ten Mapuche indians have been studied with the purpose of observing the particularities of mental disorders in this ethnic group, composed of rural migrants. In each case a syndromatic and an etiological diagnosis has been made. Our cases correspond to six women and four men with an average age of 24.5 years. All are single with a low educational level. Our results show a great frequency of the acute oniroid psychotic syndrome. These results agree with a retrospective study made by Muñoz et al (1966) who found the same syndrome in 66.6% of their Mapuche patients against only 16.3% in non Mapuche chilean patients.
为了观察这个由农村移民组成的族群中精神障碍的特殊性，我们对10名马普切印第安人进行了研究。对每个病例都进行了症状诊断和病因诊断。我们的病例包括6名女性和4名男性，平均年龄为24.5岁。所有人均为单身，教育水平较低。我们的研究结果显示急性类梦境精神病综合征的发病率很高。这些结果与穆尼奥斯等人（1966年）进行的一项回顾性研究一致，他们发现其马普切患者中有66.6%出现了相同的综合征，而非马普切智利患者中这一比例仅为16.3%。
