Abstract

One of the tools for lay as well as professionals to diagnose the inner person in the absolutistic conglomerate state of Denmark-Norway was self-observation, self-examination or introspection. It occurred in Puritan traditions and became a common element in Hallensian Pietism. Using examples from popular and widespread pamphlets from Denmark-Norway, this paper outlines signs and symptoms used to identify ambivalent and ambiguous mental states.
