Synopsis

Magic and Schizophrenia is a book written by Geza Roheim, a Hungarian psychoanalyst and anthropologist. The book explores the relationship between magic and schizophrenia, drawing on both cultural and clinical perspectives. Roheim argues that magic and schizophrenia share certain similarities, particularly in their emphasis on symbolism and the use of ritual. He also suggests that traditional societies may have had a better understanding of schizophrenia than modern Western societies, as they recognized the connection between mental illness and spiritual experiences. The book includes case studies and examples from various cultures, including Aboriginal Australians and Native Americans. Overall, Magic and Schizophrenia offers a unique perspective on the relationship between mental illness and cultural beliefs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
