摘要
治病是北方少数民族萨满的主要职能之一。在信仰萨满教的民族中萨满往往充当民间医生的角色。萨满医术是一种精神医术和心灵医术。萨满主要是治心因性的精神疾病,其主要治疗手段也是一种心理治疗。在萨满医术中包含着现代精神医学中使用的一些治疗方法和治愈机制。萨满的精神医术之本质在于通过各种方式使患者的心理得到平衡,与此同时让患者振作起来,对自己的病情持乐观的态度,确立战胜病魔的信心。萨满精神医术就是一种典型的宗教性心理——生理调控术。对萨满医术,应从心理人类学、医学人类学、宗教人类学等多种角度进行研究,这样才能够得出比较全面而相对正确的结论。
Healing is one of the principle functions of shamans among the northern minorities of China. In most cases, shamans tend to serve as civilian doctors among nationalities that believe in shamanism. Shamanic healing skills are primarily psychic, and shamans mainly treat psychogenic mental diseases by adopting a sort of psychological approach as the key treatment. Some therapeutic methods and healing mechanisms which are employed in modern psychiatry also form part of the shamans healing skills. These mental-healing skills essentially aim to balance the mental status of patients in various ways, and furthermore to cheer them up, to maintain an optimistic view of their condition, and to build up their confidence in overcoming their diseases. The shaman specializes in a kind of mental--healing skill which is typical of religious psychology, that is to say, making use of bodily effects to achieve specific ends. We need to conduct resear- ches on shamanic healing skills from further perspectives, such as psychological anthropology, medical anthropology and the anthropology of religion. We would then be better equipped to draw more comprehensive and accurate conclusions.
