Ethnic medical tradition

The history of the myths-directed human society is a mine of the irrational consequences of misbeliefs traditionally handed down from generation to generation. It is enough to read a few of the more recent overviews Massacre in History (Levene and Roberts, 1999), In God s Name Genocide and Religion in the Twentieth Century (Bartov, 2001), Modern Hatreds The Symbolic Politics of Ethnic War (Kaufman, 2001), The Medical Documentation of Torture (Iacopino and Peel, 2002) to get acquainted with the worst manifestations of malevolently manipulated human brains.
