The Aetiological-Therapeutic Model of a Magus

Gabriele Profita

Department of Psychology, Palermo

This work is part of a more extensive study which examines the therapy of a magus in comparison with analytic psychotherapy in order to determine, among other things, the reasons for the persistence of magi. This consideration is made within the larger framework of the problems in evaluating psychotherapy. Aetiological and therapeutic models of magi and their ideas of illness and health are compared, if only on a general basis, with models of analytic psychotherapy. Considerable differences between the two conceptions can be observed, but both maintain that a disturbed relational field is at the origin of disturbances and illnesses.

Key Words: analytic psychotherapy • illness • magus • paranormal therapy
