The authors inquire to which degree the different levels of the bodily, psychological, and cultural alienation of mental patients reflect a psychologically and/or socially primary regression. By drawing on Arabo‐islamic science and philosophy, and their own clinical practice, as well as by integrating various psychoanalytic and psychiatric theories, and psycho‐physiological research, the authors develop a socio‐analytic theory and methodology. By applying their approach on a psychological, intra‐, inter‐, and meta‐cultural level the authors try to explain the psychic and socio‐cultural mechanisms and paradoxes which nowadays turn many individuals into strangers to their own culture, their own body and into strangers to their own filiation and its bodily mark.
