Beschreibung
From the ideological crucible of the Reformation emerged an embittered contest for the human soul. In the care of souls, the clergy dispensed spiritual physic - the first echelon of mental health care - to thousands of people. This regional study of Bavaria investigates the largely unexplored phenomenon of spiritual physic as a popular ritual practice during a tumultuous era of religious strife, material crises, and witch hunting. It will be required reading for anyone interested in the history of medicine and psychology, the Counter Reformation, and the phenomenon of witchcraft.
