Christopher DPlease note that decapitation is not the same thing as shrinking
heads.
And while on this topic,did the Amazon tribes invent soccer when they started

How Afrocentric! :-)
I think you will find, Michael, that head shrinking was a practice of
aboriginals of the Amazon River basin in South America, not Afr

Annette,
I was thinking of alienation as the condition of someone who had lost touch
with self/reality.
Pinel wrote about insanity as mental alienation at the end of the 18th century.

As to aliensts, my understanding is that it follows from the early view that
psychiatric patients were in a state of "alienation" and in need of the
services of an alienist.
Aside: There is a good historical novel set in New York City titled The

Old Hollywood films sometimes showed indigenous people with shrunken human
heads on sticks; I cannot, though, provide you an example of such an image.
Using the term "shrink" in a distinctly non-exhaustive Google search yielded a
