Religion, Agency, and Restitution: The Wilde Lectures in Natural Religion 1999
Description:
Helping us to better understand how we interactively use religion and science/healing to come to terms with our world, this book presents Roland Littlewood's psychiatric work with patients from Western religious movements; his earlier anthropological fieldwork with an African-Caribbean religion in Trinidad; as well as his work with ethical transformations in older Caribbean cults and among ultra-Orthodox Jewish Hasidim. He not only examines the religious aspect in systems of therapeutics but also the appearance of healing practices within social institutions that are generally regarded as religious.
