title: [The journey of the Guarayos to the land of the dead. A transcultural psychiatric study].
abstract: The investigation of the being of a culture has the power of revealing something about the existence of the human beings that form it. The ethnographic study of the Guarayos, in which we find the great 'mythologem' of the agricultural people, allows us to understand the collective and permanent drunkenness that characterizes it.
