only these brief visual recordings at their disposal, they are forced to attribute to them the knowledge they have of healing from their own practices – thereby rendering the ‘other’, as Levinas (see Wyschogrod 2002 : 191) would have it, into the ‘same’. A process of mirroring – or what in the language of psychoanalysis could be called ‘transference’ (Freud 1959[1912] ) – starts when Jørgen compares the injection of gold in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis with the removal of impure blood or the intake of purified water in the Islamic treatment. In a peculiar
intrusive to work on African populations – which so many colonial officials had argued before him – Lambo went about actively trying to integrate ‘modern’ psychiatry with local cultural modalities. Indeed, Lambo's convictions about the importance of cultural sensitivity in psychiatric practice were so strong that he declared not Freud, Jung or Kraepelin, but the anthropologist Margaret Mead as the intellectual model for his pursuits (Sadowsky, 1999 : 42 n.90). In emphasizing the importance of culture not only in presentation but also in treatment of mental illness

According to Sigmund Freud ( 1980[1899]) , the invisible forces governing our lives could also be discovered in unfulfilled desires hidden within the ‘unconscious’ of the human psyche. In structuralist anthropology, the invisible was located in universal structures existing before and beyond the individual, directing the tangible form of various social phenomena from kinship alliances and myths to ways of carving a stone (Lévi-Strauss 2001[1978] ). All of these grand social theories
(Luhrmann 2016 : 147; Willerslev and Suhr 2018 ). The Durkheimian approach offered a framework for understanding religious beliefs and practices as corresponding not to the reality of gods or spirits, but to social reality. For Émile Durkheim ( 2008 [1912]), religion was the very glue that kept society together by securing a moral order. Religion was to be understood as a manifestation and cementing of social solidarity through worship. Sigmund Freud ( 1989 [1933]: 207) held a less optimistic view of religion as a form of illness comparable to

Adapting Freud's thesis, couldn't one say that my studies were motivated by a secret desire for upward mobility, as if my apprenticeship might serve as an initiation into the interests of the gentry and, as a sign of loyalty to their class interests, as a passport to a better life estate
