In the previous post we quoted Bernadette Soubirous, the young illiterate peasant who was persecuted by psychiatrists and religious leaders for advocating what he believed. "The great medical scholars, who have come just to see her speak of her with huge buzzword " catalepsy, hysteria " ..." but she without fear when the threat of prison. Unperturbed ahead of those who deal with a liar or call the "Santina" , and want to tear a strip of cloth, clothing, or a tuft of hair "taken from ..- http://www.sainte-bernadette-nevers.com/italien/index.htm
Bernadette was very religious and just as meek, came from a severely disadvantaged family situation and now having to endure the misfortune of humility 'humiliation of these jackals fell ill and died at a young age and left behind the success of his own discovery to his persecutors, who also made use of the resonance at the popular level of the future their own process to the alleged "witch".
But, twenty years later there was another in Italy illiterate peasant girl who, not fearing them as meek of vocation, it seemed revenge and justice to its SIMILAR to poor peasantry: Eusapia Paladino. Paladino was wise enough not to complain or to medical or religious, but to catch the interest of eminent scholars from diverse backgrounds in science. She was made the subject of a long series of observations until a certain Professor Chiaia not informed the well-known psychiatrist C. Lombroso. Lombroso made aware of the observation of these eminent scholars and scientists and bewildered by the statements of the wonders eusapiani, pointing out that this statement, put his hands on even before discharge the case in question and answer: ".. 15 or 20 years are enough to make a remarkable discovery, which was considered a folly when it was done ... we are not able to recognize that perhaps we err, and many fools posing as against the truth, mock THOSE WHO DO NOT SHARE OUR VIEWS.
But this is not enough because the psychiatrist is chased by both some observers of the phenomenon of "witch" that his spirit megalomaniac .. "If I uncover or solve the problem unsolved by such eminent scholars?". So it was that reached the Paladin. From then on began a sort of persecution the Paladin, which was turned over from side to side through various tests and the growing number of scholars intervention. The Paladin could barely parry all the traps and restrictions of their technical and scientific views, including hypnotic inductions. " They pretended to study the complexity of the "phenomena" of the Paladin reductive mechanistic conception through laboratory trying to make it just like freak or really believing him to achieve wonders as a magic wand., As it also arrived to ensure that the Paladino was also stripped nearly naked "look" better "miracle." The more we progressed, the less you understand the phenomena, the greater the frustration of eminent scholars, especially medical excellence of Lombroso and his colleague Bianchi (director of the asylum of Sales), and the more it backfires Paladino. Meanwhile, the dispute began between representatives of different disciplines of study that turned the blame for failure on the other: what is here an astronomer? The psychiatrist was teasing and Bianchi, the other Lombroso justified his presence and his doctrine by looking everywhere also examine the visual field and fundus of the "witch" and then, touched his narcissism-knocked out by specialist an illiterate peasant-explode and throw them to externalize Eusapia as follows:
"... none of the facts established by direct observation is of such a nature as to suppose, to explain, a world different from that recognized by neuropathologists .. . Eusapia is neuropathic; childhood received a shot in the left parietal to cause a hole as deep as the length of a finger and then was subject to epilepsy, and hysteria catalesia occurring mainly during the phenomena and finally present a significant reduction of touch "... "I think it is totally unacceptable that people in hypnotic and hysterical excitement of some centers, become very strong for the paralysis of all others, so as to cause even then a transposition and transmission of physical forces, can also be led to a processing under light or motive power. It includes as well as the strength, I will call or cerebral cortex, a medium to raise such a table, pull his beard to someone, hit him, caress him. "During the transposition of the senses due to hypnotism, such as when the nose and chin see (a fact which I observed with my own eyes), while all the other senses are temporarily paralyzed, the cortical center of vision which is based in the brain acquires an energy that replace the eye .. ". -From the annals of the physical sciences, 1892, in the Medium Eusapia Paladino, C. Flammarion, ed. Pontremolesi messaging, E, 1989.
It 'clear that Lombroso in extreme attempts to get back in the race compared to others from different fields of study, but who would have come out successfully ridiculing the "witch", with the then declared, leaving himself ridiculed.
However Lombroso has highlighted the nature of the psychiatrists, who churn out more and understand less opinions in the guise of dogma through their power of the powerful lobbies medical hospital, to maintain the chronic needs of Health Care mandatory. If he had not had Eusapia Paladino around considerations of scientists and had not had or would have been interned at the hardening or reduced mental illness in the same way as Bernadette. A century earlier it would end at the stake as a witch.
