Henri F. Ellenberger

This classic work is a monumental, integrated view of man's search for an understanding of the inner reaches of the mind. In an account that is both exhaustive and exciting, the distinguished psychiatrist and author demonstrates the long chain of development—through the exorcists, magnetists, and hypnotists—that led to the fruition of dynamic psychiatry in the psychological systems of Janet, Freud, Adler, and Jung.

Tenendosi alla larga da quel culto della personalità che traspare in tante biografie di Jung, Ellenberger ci presenta qui un'esposizione rigorosa e imparziale della sua vita e della sua opera: un'esposizione da cui emerge tanto la straordinaria originalità di Jung quanto la fitta trama dei suoi debiti con il pensiero e la letteratura romantici e alcuni grandi maestri della psichiatria dinamica (Bleuler, Janet, Binet, Flournoy). Sulla scorta di una ricchissima documentazione di prima mano, Ellenberger ricostruisce l'intera parabola junghiana: gli anni di apprendistato in cui Jung mette a fuoco la sua nozione di realtà psichica ed elabora alcuni strumenti per la comprensione dei disturbi mentali; l'incontro con la psicoanalisi, dall'amicizia con Freud alla designazione come suo erede e infine alla rottura dei loro rapporti; l'esperienza della malattia creativa prodotta da quel serrato corpo a corpo con l'inconscio e le sue immagini archetipitiche, da cui si cristallizzeranno, negli anni della maturità, il sistema della psicologia analitica e un'eccezionale messe di indagini storico-religiose; la costruzione finale del proprio mito attorno alla figura ormai leggendaria del vecchio saggio di Kusnacht.

What is the relationship between culture and mental health? Is mental illness universal? Are symptoms of mental disorders different across social groups? In the late 1960s these questions gave rise to a groundbreaking series of articles written by the psychiatrist Henri Ellenberger, who would go on to publish The Discovery of the The History and Evolution of Dynamic Psychiatry in 1970. Fifty years later they are presented for the first time in English translation, introduced by historian of science Emmanuel Delille. Ethnopsychiatry explores one of the most controversial subjects in psychiatric the role of culture in mental health. In his articles Ellenberger addressed the complex clinical and theoretical problems of cultural specificity in mental illness, collective psychoses, differentiations within cultural groups, and biocultural interactions. He was especially attuned to the correlations between rapid cultural transformations in postwar society, urbanization, and the frequency of mental illness. Ellenberger drew from a vast and varied primary and secondary literature in several languages, as well as from his own findings in clinical practice, which included work with indigenous peoples. In analyzing Ellenberger's contributions Delille unveils the transnational and interdisciplinary origins of transcultural psychiatry, which grew out of knowledge networks that crisscrossed the globe. The book has a rich selection of appendices, including Ellenberger's lecture notes on a case of peyote addiction and his correspondence with anthropologist and psychoanalyst Georges Devereux. These original essays, and their masterful contextualization, provide a compelling introduction to the foundations of transcultural psychiatry and one of its most distinguished and prolific researchers.

«Chez le catatonique, ce qui frappe le plus au premier abord est l'allure paradoxale de tout le comportement. On a l'impression que le malade, ayant perdu sa propre personnalité, subit passivement l'influence des excitations externes et des impulsions internes, et qu'envers elles il ne possède qu'un seul type de ré le négativisme. ».
