[Spiritual themes in mental pathology. Methodical approach]
1C.I.R.I.P. (Centre International de Recherche Interdisciplinaire en Psychiatrie, Roskilde, Danemark.
Abstract:
The meaning of the themes with spiritual connotations poses complex problems for psychiatry, because these themes induce the observer to project his own convictions and frames of references on his investigations. A double detachment (objectivation) concerning both the object of study and the observer is implied. This makes it possible to study these phenomena by a more rigorous method, to investigate the conditions of their formation and to demonstrate objectifiable correlates (experienced space and time, the various levels of psychic experience, factors in the environment...). In consequence the appropriate medical behaviour can be more precisely delineated.
