Lo scopo della riflessione di Georges Devereux è l'istituzione di una pratica terapeutica in campo etnopsichiatrico. A partire dal caso di Jimmy Picard, Devereux illustra le diverse reazioni psichiche dei soggetti che vivono una condizione subordinata, determinata dalla colonizzazione o da altre forme di dominio economico, sociale, razziale, linguistico e culturale, mostrando come la completa accettazione di un modello collettivo (imposto o autoimposto) possa causare la distruzione dell'individualità.
The aim of the reflection of Georges Devereux is the establishment of a therapeutic practice in the ethnopsychiatric field. This article shows in which way Devereux adopts this principle to the studies about mental illness suffered by Plains Indian during the mid-fifties, using his anthropological and psychoanalytical skills. Starting from the case of Jimmy Picard – the main character of the famous essay Reality and dream: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian –, Devereux illustrates the different psychic reactions of the subjects who live a subordinate condition, which was determined by colonization or other forms of economic, social, racial, linguistic, and cultural dominance; this underlines how the complete acceptance of a collective model (imposed or self-imposed) can cause the destruction of individuality.

Abstract
The aim of the reflection of Georges Devereux is the establishment of a therapeutic practice in the ethnopsychiatric field. This article shows in which way Devereux adopts this principle to the studies about mental illness suffered by Plains Indian during the mid-fifties, using his anthropological and psychoanalytical skills. Starting from the case of Jimmy Picard – the main character of the famous essay Reality and dream: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian –, Devereux illustrates the different psychic reactions of the subjects who live a subordinate condition, which was determined by colonization or other forms of economic, social, racial, linguistic, and cultural dominance; this underlines how the complete acceptance of a collective model (imposed or self-imposed) can cause the destruction of individuality.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
