disasters, colonial rule and colonial medicine
Our best accounts of the development of Western medicine per se can be found amongst accounts of Dutch imperialism in Borneo; and these are very largely concerned with predominant diseases and their impact on local populations, rather than the more esoteric area of mental disorders, which are referred to solely in passing. This is not to suggest that there existed a dearth of alternative treatment in the region during this period of Dutch imperial expansion. On the contrary, the literature indicates that there was already a wide variety of healing traditions in Borneo and likewise in Malaya (Gullick, 1987; Humholtz, 1991).
