À propos de cet audio

 Clinical Lycanthropy is a rare psychiatric syndrome where a patient holds a delusional belief that they are transforming into a non-human animal. In this episode, we analyze the case of a man who lived as a cat for thirteen years, exploring the neuroscience of "self-identity" and "body schema."

We cover:
  • The Diagnosis: Differentiating between schizophrenia, dissociation, and genuine identity delusion.
  • Neuroplasticity Gone Wrong: How the brain can rewrite its own map of the body.
  • Historical Context: Comparing this modern case to the "Werewolf of Bedburg" and Japanese Kitsune legends.
  • Cultural Influence: How folklore shapes the specific animal a patient "becomes."
A deep dive into the fragility of the human mind.
