• Abebe — An eponym used in transcultural psychiatry, ethnopsychiatry, and clinical anthropology studies to illustrate trance phenomena, possession, or dissociative disorders specific to the Horn of Africa (the Abebe manifestation or syndrome). The term analyzes how severe psychic conflicts, collective traumas, or acute stress are culturally shaped into dissociative convulsive seizures, structured mystic hallucinations, or altered states of personality integrated into local medical folklore.
