Resumo

This text analyses the view of a Brazilian psychiatrist, from Ceará, on spiritism and mediumist trance: Antônio Xavier de Oliveira (1892-1953). Spiritism is shown in his work as an unchaining “locus” of the mental disease, and spiritists as irremediably crazy or possibly mentally ill. Xavier de Oliveira tried to narrow the relationships already estabilished by the medical-psychiatric speech between spiritism and madness. The patients who presented some familiarity with mediumistic trance appear in his work as discredited and deprived of the medical norm.
