セミナー「日本とインドにおける精神分析と宗教」

　　　　　 2013年度　医療・文化・社会研究会　第3回例会 Medicine, Culture and Society Seminar Series 発表者(Lecturer)：Dr C.G. Harding, Lecturer in Asian History, School of History, Classics and Archaeology, University of Edinburgh タイトル(Title)：Religion and Psychiatry in Japan and India: Medical, Social, and Intellectual Challenges 要旨(Abstract)：Psychiatry and religion’s long shared history entered a new phase of complexity in the second half of the twentieth century, as the rapid expansion and intermingling of psychodynamic therapies, counselling, and new religious practices contributed to a blurring of the boundaries between the medical and the moral, between the mental and the spiritual. In cultures such as the UK, Japan, and India, this blurring has been exacerbated further in recent years by the desire for culturally sensitive forms of psychiatric diagnosis and treatment, which steer clear of automatically pathologizing relatively unusual forms of acute visual, aural, and cognitive experience and/or patterns of individual and group behaviour. This paper explores the key psychiatric, social, and intellectual questions raised here, and draws on the historical experience of Japan and India to offer a practical framework for analyzing the ‘religion-psy dialogue’. The purpose of such a framework is to offer historians, anthropologists, and others a means of investigating and evaluating particular historical or contemporary religion-psy phenomena, and to assess the potential benefits and drawbacks of the ever-closer encounter of religion with the psy disciplines in the modern era. 日時(Date)：10月9日（水）17：00～19：00 場所(Venue)：慶應義塾大学三田キャンパス　南校舎４５４教室 ※転送・転載による宣伝、よろしくお願いいたします！ ☆Twitterのアカウントでも案内しております☆ https://twitter.com/medcultsoc
