Abstract

It is of interest to link behavioural paradigms with the past and see whether the cultural roots of behavioural and cognitive therapies can be found in medieval literature. In this context the attention is drawn to the Icelandic Sagas. Iceland was destined to become a chosen sanctuary for Norse culture, a place where the memories and history of Northern Europe were more diligently preserved than anywhere else, and recorded in books that are today the richest source of knowledge of the Viking Age.
