I hadn’t seen the term before, so thanks for posting about it.
It makes sense to me, and I think my “history” would add some strength to the argument. I started out my mental patient “career” 50 years ago with anorexia nervosa (which I found already identified as a Western culture-bound syndrome), diagnosed with PDNOS and DDNOS 3 years ago. But the basic personality dysfunction had been there all along, and I do think it’s an outcome of biological temperament AND socialization/culture.
