In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus of Nazareth makes reference to one of the oldest beliefs in the ancient world - the malignity of an Evil Eye. The Holy Scriptures in their original languages contain no less than twenty-four references to the Evil Eye, although this is obscured by most modern Bible translations. John H. Elliott's Beware the Evil Eye describes this belief and associated practices, its history, its voluminous appearances in ancient cultures, and the extensive research devoted to it over the centuries in order to unravel this enigma for readers who have never heard of the Evil Eye and its presence in the Bible. This is the first of a four-volume work on the Evil Eye.

La diferencia entre alguien cuyo corazón está purificado y sano y alguien cuyo corazón es impuro y corrupto: La gente impura oprime, y los de corazón puro no sólo perdonan a sus opresores sino que los elevan en carácter y posición. A fin de purificarnos, debemos empezar por reconocer esta verdad. De esto trata este libroes un libro de auto-purificación y un manual de liberación. Si trabajamos sobre nuestros corazones, si realmente ponemos en práctica lo que aquí se aconseja, empezaremos a ver cambios en nuestras vidas, en nuestro estado, nuestra sociedad, y hasta en la dinámica interna de nuestras familias. Es una bendición contar con esta ciencia de la purificación y que esta enseñanza exista hoy en el mundo. Lo único que necesitamos es tomar en serio estas enseñanzas. Examinemos pues lo que expone aquí este gran sabio y aprendamos acerca de las enfermedades del corazón, examinando su etiología (sus causas), sus señales y síntomas, y, finalmente, cómo tratarlas. Existen dos tipos de tratamiento: el tratamiento teórico, que es comprender la enfermedad en sí, y el tratamiento práctico, que se centra en las fórmulas que debemos aplicar a fin de restablecer la pureza natural del corazón. Si aplicamos las técnicas que han sido elaboradas y impartidas por los grandes sabios de la vasta tradición del Islam, veremos resultados. Pero como ocurre con las recetas médicas, el doctor no puede obligarte a tomar la medicina. Los eruditos expertos en la puri- ficación espiritual nos ofrecen tratamientos extraídos de las enseñanzas del Corán y del modelo ejemplar del Profeta (la paz sea con él). Las enseñanzas están ahí a nuestra disposición. Son claras y funcionan. Sólo queda, pues, que las aprendamos, las apliquemos a nosotros mismos, y las compartamos con otros.

In the present volume, Elliott addresses the most extensive sources of Evil Eye belief in antiquity--the cultures of Greece and Rome. In this period, features of the belief found in Mesopotamian and Egyptian sources are expanded to the point where an "Evil Eye belief complex" becomes apparent. This complex of features associated with the Evil Eye--human eye as key organ of information, eye as active not passive, eye as channel of emotion and dispositions, especially envy, arising in the heart, possessors, victims, defensive strategies, and amulets--is essential to an understanding of the literary references to the Evil Eye. This volume, along with chapter 2 of volume 1, sets and illuminates the context for examining Evil Eye belief and practice in the Bible and the biblical communities (the focus of volume 3).

Clinicians and mental health practitioners are regularly called upon to treat patients of diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Not only do these patients differ from Anglos in culture and language, but also in customs, beliefs, values, and practices. Understanding these differences is vital to performing an accurate diagnosis/assessment of psychopathology as well as in determining an effective treatment regimen. This book provides vital information to clinicians worldwide in bettering their treatment of diverse populations. Each chapter identifies relevant cultural variables specific to each racial/ethnic group, along with ethnocultural measures and their relevant psychometric properties. Part 1 presents introductory material on the definition of mental illness and pathological behavior in differing cultures, epidemiological data on the prevalence of different disorders between differing population groups, culture specific beliefs (e.g. hexes), and the influence of culture on treatment. Part 2 discusses assessment issues including how specific measures (Rorschach, MMPI, etc.) are best interpreted with different population groups, and the existence and use of ethnocultural specific measures. Part 3 discusses assessment and treatment of specific population groups (e.g., Indians, Asians, Latinos, etc.).
