- ... shamans were viewed as social and psychological misfits. So far we have seen how shamanism was viewed in the earlier part and even in the mid twentieth century. The anthropological literature that dominated that period links shamanism to mental disorder and a distinction is also made between possession and shamanism. As a result of these assumptions a negative definition of shamanism ... over-sensationalized that it has become hard to distinguish fact from fiction. There has also been little historical accountability. Most writers uncritically create their own profiles of the shaman from literature that was published long before their time (Flaherty, pp.212). They do so without having it necessary to think about the external pressures that shamansim might have been experiencing over ...
