Abstract

This qualitative research developed with the "instrumental case" method uses the clinical interview put at the service of the research to describe the effects of the encounter between scientific discourse and popular beliefs that generate patterns of behavior that must be penetrated, taking into account the beliefs popular. The belief in the evil eye that is widespread throughout the world endures and resists adaptation to new treatments other than the disease. The evil eye is associated with diarrheal diseases in children and therapeutic practices that lead to death in many children. The Eye is endowed with a deadly function, manifested in the power function that disease brings. Envy is considered by the population as the basic feeling in this phenomenon. Popular culture in the management of the disease is sustained by structural determinations of the subject.
