Teaching Healing Rituals/Ritual Healing

Susan S. Sered, Linda L. Barnes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter › peer-review

Abstract

This chapter deals with one of the earliest and most ubiquitous forms of ritual activity in the human record: seeking the aid of a greater power in a quest for healing. Because of the enormity of the topic and the importance of keeping their students' experiences in mind, the authors developed a crosscultural typology as an tool for organizing the key analytic features of ritual healing for individual and collective illness. Using the pedagogical exercises this typology affords, students discover nearly universal ritual strategies and motivations.
