INDICE

INTRODUCCIÓN
Cuando uno está muerto y surge el oculto tiempo de los recuerdos
La mórbida amabilidad del pequeño pelirrojo
La creatividad de los descarriados
Los lisiados por el pasado pueden darnos lecciones
Hay que aprender a observar para evitar la venenosa belleza de las metáforas

CAPÍTULO 1: LA ORUGA
El temperamento o la rebeldía de los ángeles
La triste historia del espermatozoide de Layo y el óvulo de Yocasta
Gracias a nuestros progresos, hemos evolucionado, pasando de la cultura de la culpa a la cultura del prejuicio
De cómo aprenden a bailar los fetos
En donde se aprecia que la boca del feto revela la angustia de la madre
Hacer que nazca un niño no basta, también hay que traerlo al mundo
Los recién nacidos no pueden ir a parar a ningún otro sitio que no sea la historia de sus padres
Cuando el marco en el que se desenvuelve el recién nacido es en realidad un triángulo compuesto por sus padres y por él mismo
El papá payaso y el bebé cómico
Quiéreme para que tenga el coraje de abandonarte
El andamiaje del modo de amar
Los orígenes míticos de nuestros modos de amar
Cuando el estilo afectivo del niño depende del relato íntimo de la madre
Una madre que recibe apoyo afectivo y tiene sostén social puede ofrecer mejores brazos
Cuando los gemelos no tienen la misma madre
En el que se consigue observar cómo se transmite el pensamiento mediante los gestos y los objetos
El congénere desconocido: el descubrimiento del mundo del otro
Cuando las historias sin palabras permiten compartir los mundos interiores
De cómo los estereotipos sociales privilegian determinados comportamientos del bebé
El humor no es cosa de risa
Los fundamentos del andamiaje de la resiliencia
Cuando la relación conjunta echa por tierra el andamiaje
Se conoce la causa, se conoce el remedio y, sin embargo, todo se agrava
Virginidad y capitalismo
El padre precoz es una rampa de lanzamiento
Cuando el Estado diluye al padre
Duelos ruidosos, duelos silenciosos
Resiliencia y conductas de seducción

CAPÍTULO 2: LA MARIPOSA
A los monstruos no les gusta el teatro
¿Es posible pensar en la carambola psíquica?
La emoción traumática es una conmoción orgánica provocada por la idea que se tiene del agresor
Lo que otorga al golpe su poder para provocar traumas es el estilo de desarrollo de la persona herida
La adaptación que protege no siempre constituye un factor de resiliencia
Cuando un combate heroico se convierte en mito fundador
Sin culpabilidad no hay moralidad
Robar o dar para sentirse fuerte
Las quimeras del pasado son ciertas, al modo en que son ciertas las quimeras
Cuando un recuerdo concreto se ve rodeado por la bruma, hace que el pasado sea soportable y hermoso
Las ordalías secretas y la reinserción social
Una declaración de guerra contra los niños
Actuar y comprender para no sufrir
Cuando la guerra hace que prendan algunas llamitas de resiliencia
El devastador efecto de una agresión sexual depende mucho de la distancia afectiva
La posibilidad de resiliencia tras una agresión sexual depende mucho de las reacciones emocionales del entorno
Cuando el trabajo del sueño dormido se incorpora a nuestra memoria y nos gobierna, el trabajo del sueño despierto nos permite recuperar el control
Cuando la negación consciente protege al sueño y cuando la impresión traumática conlleva una reminiscencia onírica
La civilización del fantasma lleva aparejada una creatividad que repara
Las culturas normativas erradican la imaginación
El talento consiste en exponer la propia prueba mediante una grata intriga
Aprender sin darse cuenta
La falsificación creadora transforma la magulladura en organizador del Yo

De la conclusión

The purpose of this study is to examine the healing strategies employed by the inhabitants of Egypt during the Roman period, from the late first century BC to the fourth century AD, in order to explore how Egyptian, Greek and Roman customs and traditions interacted within the province. Thus this study aims to make an original contribution to the history of medicine, by offering a detailed examination of the healing strategies (of which 'rational' medicine was only one) utilised by the inhabitants of one particular region of the Mediterranean during a key phase in its history, a region, moreover, which by virtue of the survival of papyrological evidence offers a unique opportunity for study. Its interdisciplinary approach, which integrates ancient literary, documentary, archaeological and scientific evidence, presents a new approach to understanding healing strategies in Roman provincial culture. It refines the study of healing within Roman provincial culture, identifies diagnostic features of healing in material culture and offers a more contextualised reading of ancient medical literary and documentary papyri and archaeological evidence. This study differs from previous attempts to examine healing in Roman Egypt in that it tries, as far as possible, to encompass the full spectrum of healing strategies available to the inhabitants of the province. The first part of this study comprises two chapters and focuses on the practitioners of healing strategies, both 'professional' and 'amateur'. Chapter 2 examines those areas of ancient medicine that have traditionally been neglected or summarily dismissed by scholars: 'domestic' and 'folk' medicine with particular emphasis on the extent to which the specific natural environment of any given location affects healing strategies. Chapter Three examines the nature and frequency of eye diseases and injuries suffered by the inhabitants of Roman Egypt. Chapter Four examines the nature and frequency of the fevers suffered by the inhabitants of Roman Egypt, focusing first on the disease malaria, which is attested by papyrological, archaeological and palaeopathological evidence as having been suffered throughout Egypt. Chapter Five examines the dangers that the animal species of Egypt could pose to the inhabitants of the province, focusing particularly upon snakes, scorpions, crocodiles and lions, as attested by papyrological and epigraphic evidence such as private letters, mummy labels and epitaph inscriptions. The concluding chapter underlines the importance for a study of the healing strategies utilised in any province of the Roman Empire (or indeed any region in the ancient world) of taking into account the historical, geographical, cultural and social context of the location in question.
