Clinical Lycanthropy

"He was driven out of humans and grazed like a cow, his body was wet with the dew of the sky until his hair grew to an eagle's feather, and his nails grew like a bird's nail" (Daniel Book 4: 33, King James Edition) Like Daniel, the human case that they believe to be animals happens throughout history. This disease scientifically named as a wolf is not only rare but also very mysterious. The word Lycanthropy comes from two Greek words: lykoi (meaning wolves) and anthropes (human).

A clinical wolf is a recognized medical condition that deems himself an animal and rarely claims that people are wolves. For example, in 1589, a German man named Peter Stub claimed to have a wolf belt that changed him to a wolf: his body bent in the shape of lupine, It will be in your mouth. Reproductive; he is anxious for human blood. Stubbe claims that he murdered at least 12 people in 25 years - his confession was made in difficult circumstances, but his limbs were for a long period of torture (his torn apart by a number of murderers Including meat) collapsed) He was beheaded in Halloween in 1589, his bare head burned on a pile. Apart from his confession there is no real evidence of his crime, and Stubbe seems to have psychosis and delusions.

Some people point out that clinical wolves that are true mind conditions will serve as a legal basis for the skinwalker credibility. In psychiatric literature, I found that there are several incidents that they are the essence of a wolf man that they have a belief of being an animal. These cases provide us with two interesting clues to help us understand the phenomenon of skinwalker and the idea of ​​larger deformers around the world. Firstly, it turned out that such incidents usually occur in patients who believe it is a punishment for a specific criminal act. Today's good news is that symptoms of artificial paranoia are usually easily reversed through psychiatric treatment, but it is interesting that the patient thinks it is related to evil. The Navajo witch who became a skinwalker is said to be moving with selfish motive without malice.

The word "lycanthropy" refers to the ability to turn itself into a wolf and the behavior from the ancient Greek "λυκάνθρωποςlukánthropos". This word appears in ancient Greek data, but only in ancient late season rarely seen only in the clinical wolfman's context described by Galen, the patient has greedy desires and other Wolf's I have qualities. Some Greek currencies are posted in the 10th century encyclopedia Suda. The use of Lycane slope from Greek in English was done in a learning writing which began in the latter part of the 16th century (Lexard Scots recorded 1584 "Magical Discovery" for the first time and he recorded the wolf man's reality Against the clinical wolfman firstly explicitly used "vi 92", that is much slower using lycanthropy for the assumed shape shift 1830
