Chapter 4
Clinical lycanthropy is a psychiatric illness in which the patient believes himself to be transformed into a wolf or, by extension, into any other type of animal. This name is taken from the belief in lycanthropy, documented by lawsuits and many mythological and legendary accounts. The belief in lycanthropy has various explanations, such as the fear of the wolf, mysticism, various diseases or even taking drugs and hallucinogens. One such explanation is clinical lycanthropy.
Description:
Jean Wier, doctor from the Netherlands (1515-1588), explains lycanthropy as an imaginary and sickly phenomenon [1]. He describes the patients who are afflicted with it thus: they are pale, have sunken eyes and very dry tongues.
It is the same with Jean de Nynauld who published in 1615 De la lycanthropie, transformation et ecstase des sorciers "melancholy or louvière madness because of those who were affected by it thought to be transformed into wolves or dogs. "Two centuries later, Collin de Plancy, in his Dictionnaire infernal, published in 1818, defines lycanthropy as a" disease which, in the centuries when only demons, witchcraft and evil spells were to be seen everywhere, disturbed the imagination of weak brains, so much so that they thought they had been transformed into werewolves, and behaved accordingly. The melancholy were more than others willing to become lycanthropes, that is, wolf men. ".
Today, the belief that one's own body can transform into that of a wolf is zoopathy, that is, a symptom of an ongoing psychiatric illness. The structure of this delirium is of the paraphrenic type.
