Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This is a detailed psycho-social analysis of the
manifestations, historical causes, inculcation, and historical and cultural implications of
sexual repression in an isolated Aran Island community. A brief culture historical summary
is presented as an introduction. The author sees strong functional relationships between
the Celtic religious tradition combined with nineteenth century "puritanical" Catholicism,
family relationships and expression of emotion, sexual repression, and rate of emigration.
A selection of quotations from other authors on religious influences on personality
development is included.
