Free Press, New York, 1974, reprint.  Trade soft cover, 475 pages including Index.  Good plus; wraps show some stains and creases; binding sound.  Occasional small spot in fore-edge margin; remainder of interior clean and unmarked.  ‘A Journey through the intriguing, fascinating, and oftentimes startling world of primitive psychiatric practices.  Discover how exorcism of a devil spirit takes place / secret fraternities help the mentally ill to recuperate / sorcerers summon the spirit of the dead to cleanse the evil from the living. … explores the beliefs, rituals, and symbols in such diverse cultures as the aborigines of Western Australia, the Sea Dayaks (Iban) of Borneo, the Mescalero Apache of North America, and the Yoruba of Nigeria.  Some of the customs may seem shocking, but the insights they provide into our own practices cannot be ignored!’ (from rear wrap)
