Seller's Description:
Very good. Tight, square spine has some sunning. Clean, unmarked interior. Light shelf-wear, including some bumped corners and gentle edge-wear. Another stunning Ellen Raskin cover to this sensationally marketed collection of ethnographic essays exploring folk healing modalities, viewed through a cross-disciplinary anthropological/psychological lens or what editor Kiev terms 'transcultural psychiatry'. Contributions include Orhan M. Ozturk's 'Folk Treatment of Mental Illness in Turkey', Jozef Ph. Hez's 'The Changing Social Role of the Yemenite Mori', and Catherine H. Berndt''s 'The Role of Native Doctors in Aboriginal Australia'. Features an intro by Jerome D. Frank, known for his mid-1930s soda cracker experiment (an inspiration for the infamous Milgram experiment several decades later), in which participants were fed unappetizing cookies by researchers playing varyingly authoritarian roles, with subjects' reactions often dependent on the levels of obedience they felt expected of them. 475 pp.
