Who, as
us, we practice the Hypnosis and we have shared and
seen closely in the touches Batá the mounted ones,
there is not better description of the mechanism suggestive
disociativo of the conscience that the one expressed
by Ortiz; would only be necessary to add (it sews
that Ortiz also pointed out) the emotional atmosphere
of the Güemilere and the " mooring " that the Ilú
Batá makes on the one that begins to give dissociation
expressions or mount, increasing on this, making it
dance quicker, ascending and changing those chimed
and calling to the saint with the Chachá.
Who has
seen this ceremony doesn't stop to be admired by the
virtuosity and the psychological manipulation that
make on the dancers these players of Aña that without
understanding in Hypnosis, they hypnotize, in the
psychological concept of achieving a form peculiar
of desestructuración of the field of the conscience.
Not being reason of this work the religious conception
of the mechanism limits ourselves to point out it.
With regard
to the Anxiety, different forms have been described
of managing it to calm the special apprehension that
feels who has it, belonging one to them the one of
giving exit to the magic thought by means of rituals,
like in the Compulsive Obsessive Neuroses or in simpler
forms, but of same mechanism.
In the mentioned
work of The Black Sorcerers", Don Fernando, when referring
to the concurrence from the population to the calls
for him in that time Afro-Cuban sorcerers", he insisted
in the mechanism of psychic necessity that satisfied
those that went to the santero or the Babalao to register
and this indicated him the soothing ebbó; that is
to say, those practices that will solve the causes
of their anxiety, magic rites that put them in contact
with the soothing magic thought. This psychological
function and mystic of the sacrifice was exposed in
the work that we present in the Cultural Encounter
Yoruba in 1992 in the Palace of the Conventions, Havana:
"Point on the Cosmovisión Yoruba", to which we remit
to the interested ones.
Nevertheless,
in our opinion, him more studied in Cuba, it has been
the modality that offers the dissociation or narrowing
of the field of the conscience and the importance
that the transculturación process offers to the form
specific Cuban of these squares in África.
It corresponds
our Teacher, Professor José Ángel Bustamante, strongly
influenced by Don Fernando's studies, to develop these
studies in our means with their works on the Delirious
Bouffeé in Cuba, the Cultural Factors in hysterias
with square clinical esquizofrénico, the Cultural
Factors in hysterias with square clinical esquizofrénico,
the Cultural Factors in the squares esquizofrenical,
Reaction Sharp and other Psicótica, in those that
it analyzed the mechanism for the one which identical
factors cultural present in África and transculturizados
in Cuba, influenced in the appearance of these dysfunctions
that were more frequent in our country than that that
reported the literature in European and Asian countries,
as well as in North America.
When referring
to the Delirious Boffeé, Bustamante defined it like
a sharp, brief, transitory delirious crisis that is
not a state confusional, since the dysfunction of
the vigil is of another nature and of appearing symptoms
confusionales they are of smaller importance; it is
developed abruptly with deliriums polimorfos, variables,
motives, alucinatorios whose more frequent forms are
of persecution and greatness and whose topics are
almost always of mystic content, pointing out that
it is a Reaction Sharp Psicótica that a fellow offers
included in a half pressed by the transculturación;
it is a dissociation that happens in any personality
under the pressure of a half specific one under certain
conditions.
In the work
presented by Bustamante in the World Congress of Psychiatry
in Madrid (1966) expressed: "In our opinion what happens
is that changes are operated that produce the narrowing
of the mark of the conscience like those that happen
in the reaction disociativa, the incorporation of
the already frequent magic thought, of its believing
activity, leaves it installed in the center of their
operations of thinking; without i can, for it, to
make the discrimination or critic that the hardship
of the mark of the conscience impedes, reason for
the one which its magic thought, based in the premises
offered by the belief, when being expressed, a modality
that he finds a to think psicótico to who observes
it takes place."
Allow us
to get the attention among the description of Bustamente
as for the mechanism that takes place and the one
explained by Ortiz in the disintegration of the personality
during a process in a touch of Batá.
