Description

Descending with Angels: Islamic Exorcism and Psychiatry provides a unique account of the invisible dynamics of possession and psychosis. This film monograph by Manchester University Press offers an analysis of how the bodies and souls of Muslim patients are shaped by the conflicting demands of Islam and the psychiatric institutions of European nation-states. Through several years of research, Christian Suhr follows Muslim patients being treated in both a Danish mosque and a psychiatric hospital. The text reveals how psychiatric and Islamic healing work to produce relief from pain while involving an ethical transformation of the patient and the cultivation of religious and secular identities.
