Vitebsky, P.
Published by Cambridge University Press, 1993
Hardcover in very good condition with light foxing as pictured.
Study of religion, healing and psychology in tribal India focused on a unique dialogue between the living and the dead, conducted through a shaman. By exploring memories of emotional attachments, the Sora people negotiate the meaning of particular deaths. Vitebsky analyzes these relationships over a period of years, and develops a typology of moods of the dead. He contrasts Sora procedures with the treatment of bereavement in psychoanalysis, and shows how Sora dialogues with the dead serve to negotiate relationships with other members of the community.
