AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This paper describes the experience of transcendence or trance (!KIA) in which healing takes place. The particular focus of the study is the !Kung's education for transcendence: how they learn to have, or better to accept transcendence, how it is induced through frenzied daancing, and how it functions in the healing process
