Professor Littlewood's lectures marshal arguments that help us
understand more clearly how we interactively use religion and
science/healing to come to terms with the world around us. The
lectures draw in part on the author's clinical work as a
psychiatrist with patients from religious movements in the West,
but are primarily based on his earlier anthropological fieldwork
with a new African-Caribbean religion in Trinidad, and more
recently with ethical transformations in the older Caribbean cults
and among the ultra-Orthodox Jewish Hasidim. There exists a close
relationship between the explanations of misfortune,
reconciliation, and restitution in the historical - and other -
religions and in therapeutics. Professor Littlewood believes that
cosmological and redemptive assumptions exist in any type of
healing, whether physical or psychological. Spiritual and healing
theories interact in surprising ways, and he examines the religious
aspect in systems of therapeutics as well as the appearance of
healing practices within social institutions that are generally
regarded as religious.
