Spiritual And Mental Health Crisis In Globalizing Senegal: A History Of Transcultural Psychiatry (Routledge Research In Health And Healing In Africa And The African Diaspora)

This book explores the history of mental health in Senegal, and how psychological difficulties were also expressed in the terms of spiritualism, magic, witchcraft, spirit possession and ancestor worship. It operates as a suspension bridge between scholarship on witchcraft and magic and the history of psychiatry and psycho-analysis.
