AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Only one page has been excerpted from this book by Hoebel containing brief but interesting reference to some unpublished field notes by the anthropologist W.W. Dyk, on the tendency of Navajo who practice incest to injure themselves by fire. The material sheds light on the cultural determination of psychoses.
