Roger Bastide, François Raveau : Black and White Variations.
The authors, an ethnologist and a psychiatrist, draw the first hypothesis from a research undertaken two years ago, on the mental illness of Africans living in France. They have tried to determine the importance of the colour of the skin in the etiology and symptoms of these patients. Principal methods used : psychiatric hospital files, case studies, dream-analysis, drawings of nevrotics, T.A.T., Rorschach. The analysis always remains qualitative. It seems that the colour factor intervenes only as the symbol of a certain social situation, but that the frustration, mental tensions etc... whatever their origin, tend to cristalisc around the contrast of black and white. The study of some cases described allow a certain number of practical, as well as theoretical, conclusions to be drawn. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
