Book Overview
Magic And Schizophrenia is a book written by Geza Roheim, a Hungarian psychoanalyst and anthropologist. In this book, Roheim explores the relationship between magic and schizophrenia, two seemingly disparate concepts that he argues are actually closely related. Roheim argues that both magic and schizophrenia involve a disconnection from reality and an altered perception of the world. He draws on his extensive experience working with indigenous cultures and their belief systems to explore the ways in which magic and schizophrenia manifest in different cultures. Roheim's work is both insightful and controversial, as he challenges many of the assumptions that underlie Western psychoanalytic theory. This book is an important contribution to the study of anthropology, psychoanalysis, and the intersection of the two fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
