N2 - In this single-participant case study, the clinical experiences of a Somali Muslim man are presented and reviewed with special attention to cross-cultural, religious, or ethnic factors. Paradoxically, this man's religious convictions serve as both a protective and vital part of who he is while contributing to his psychotic experience. We frame our conceptualization of this case using the guidelines suggested by the DSM-IV-TR Outline for Cultural Formulation (American Psychiatric Association, 2000) and discuss our summary impressions of the case and the lessons we take from it.
