Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Vol. 3 As a rule, however, the descriptions apply to a few striking cases, no general account of the emotional neuroses of the people being given; and it may be of interest to describe, and, as far as possible, to arrange systematically, all the cases of varying degrees of severity which have come under my notice. The part of Africa with which I am personally acquainted is the country surrounding Lake Nyasa, especially the southern half of the lake, and my patients have been drawn mainly from the tribes living on its shores. The western shore of the lake is in British Nyasaland, while the eastern shore is partly in German and partly in Portuguese territory. The cases hereafter described have been drawn from all three districts, and their occurrence has extended over a period of eleven years. Although my experience is confined to a particular part of the African continent, I think that it is fairly typical, and that similar neuroses would be found, at least, among all the native races of Central Africa, although in matters of detail there would be special adaptation to local ideas and beliefs. Any medical man who has worked among negroes must have realised the immense hold which their superstitions have on them. At the same time he will have found that it is very difficult to get them to talk about them. There is an atmosphere of terror which is too real to need description, and which it may be unlucky to discuss. Moreover, the native knows that the European docs not credit such beliefs, and so he is very shy of mentioning them.
