CONT

[...] deux [psychoses] méritent d'être citées : la psychose Windigo, chez les Indiens du Nord canadien, et l'amok, en Asie du sud-est. Le terme "windigo" s'applique à la croyance en un esprit qui mange la chair humaine, et qui peut forcer quelqu'un à faire de même, en prenant possession de lui.
