Ataque de nervios是波多黎各人和其他拉美人用来表达家庭社交世界混乱的痛苦习语。本文对“情绪人类学”的研究不断深入做出了贡献。通过对波多黎各121人的详细采访，其中78人患有神经阿特克，我们正在对阿塔克的原型模型和阿塔克的各种个人经历进行深入的描述。本研究中使用的访谈是解释性模式访谈目录的一个版本，专门用于波多黎各神经阿特克斯的社区研究。对有关ataque de nervios经历的问题的答复由一组评审员进行了分析，这些评审员代表了波多黎各文化和心理健康实践的不同知识和经验。神经失调症的体验包括在几个重要的体验领域失去控制：情感表达、身体感觉、行动维度和意识变化。这种失控与与重大生活问题和痛苦经历有关的重要社会背景密切相关。
Ataques de nervios are an idiom of distress used by Puerto Ricans and other Latinos to express dislocations in the social world of the family. This paper contributes to the growing study of the ''anthropology of the emotions''. Through detailed interviews with 121 people in Puerto Rico, 78 of whom had had an ataque de nervios, we are developing a thick description of both the prototypical models for ataques de nervios and the varied individual experiences of ataques. The interview used in this study is a version of the Explanatory Model Interview Catalogue specifically adapted for use in a community study of ataques de nervios in Puerto Rico. Responses to questions on the experience of ataque de nervios were analyzed using a team of reviewers who represented differing knowledge and experience with Puerto Rican culture and mental health practice. The experience of ataques de nervios involves a loss of control in several important domains of experience: emotional expressions, bodily sensations, action dimensions and alterations in consciousness. That loss of control is closely linked to important social contexts relating to major life problems and the experience of suffering.
