by Bruce Kapferer (Author)
The Sinhalese exorcism rituals are perhaps the most complex and the most magnificent in performance still extant. For this second edition, the author has written a preface and introduction in which he argues that the techniques and aesthetics of healing in Sri Lanka cannot be reduced to Western psychoanalytic or psychotherapeutic terms.
