[Sabbatai Zwi--a false Jewish Messiah. Case report on religious psychopathology].
The life of the Jewish heretical Messiah Sabbatai Zwi (1626-1676) presents several features suggesting a psychotic affective disorder. Particular political and socio-cultural conditions enabled him to arouse a state of rebellion in a large part of the Jewish population. This study investigates relations between the individual psychosis of Sabbatai Zwi and the reaction of the public. In addition relations between psycho-pathological and mystical-demonological terminology are considered.
