Anton Boisen revisited
1the Department of Religion at Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Abstract:
Anton Boisen was both a psychologist of religion and a schizophrenic. His autobiography presents his "case history" but leaves many of his psychotic communications and experiences uninterpreted. This essay attempts to account for Boisen's most idiosyncratic psychotic products, drawing on theories of Jung and Bateson. Boisen and Jung both used experiences deriving from psychotic episodes to shape their subsequent life work. Boisen remained within liberal Protestantism, relinquishing his own "crazy" critique of Christianity developed during his mental illness. This critique is expressed through Boisen's notion of the "Family of Four", a plan for world renewal that he himself never adequately interpreted.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
