Spiritism is a religious doctrine originated in France during the nineteenth century through the works of Allan Kardec. In Brazil, it assumed an original configuration: rational and scientific Christian spiritism, pioneered by Luiz de Mattos, was one of the national doctrinal variants. Luiz de Mattos created the Centro Espírita Redemptor where, for some years, he monitored the treatment of the mentally ill. The article analyzes the characteristics of rational and scientific Christian spiritism treatment applied to mental illness and the strategies that Luiz de Mattos adopted to defend his form of treatment. Some similarities and differences between spiritist and medical treatment are also outlined.
唯灵论是19世纪起源于法国的一种宗教教义，经由阿兰·卡德克的著作发展而来。在巴西，它呈现出一种独特的形态：由路易斯·德·马托斯开创的理性与科学的基督教唯灵论，是该国教义变体之一。路易斯·德·马托斯创建了救赎唯灵论中心，在那里，他多年来一直监督对精神病患者的治疗。本文分析了应用于精神疾病的理性与科学的基督教唯灵论治疗的特点，以及路易斯·德·马托斯为捍卫其治疗形式所采取的策略。同时也概述了唯灵论治疗与医学治疗之间的一些异同。
