Abstract

The article explores the concept of interior landscapes through the lens of Islamic theology, psychoanalysis, and narratives of psychosis patients, as presented by Stefania Pandolfo in her book "Knot of the Soul: Madness, Psychoanalysis, Islam." The text delves into the theological vocabulary of the interior landscape, highlighting the experiences of individuals like Ilyas and Samia who struggle with mental health. Through the Imam's teachings, Pandolfo uncovers the intricate topography of the human soul, drawing parallels between Islamic and Indic philosophical ideas. The article reflects on the complexities of psychosis, the interplay between the sensory and non-sensory realms, and the transformative power of experiences that transcend ordinary perception.
