Abstract
This article presents a most detailed description of the various healing rites among the Mayawyaw Ifugao. It contains a great number of texts with translations in English. Here, as well as in the other sources in the Ifugao file, no clear distinction between priest and healer ('psychotherapist') could be established.

Notes
Francis Lambert
Since there is no clear distinction between priest and healer, the researcher is advised to look under both Priesthood (793) and Shamans and Psychotherapists (756). References to death ritual, marriag ritual, and rice ritual (RR) and particular pages refer to 9: Lambrecht, this collection.
