Cognitive resource depletion and the ritual healing theory
The authors argue that collective rituals facilitate the transmission of religious ideas, a process that involves emotion regulation, resource depletion, and charismatic authority. Rituals, coupled
A community survey of psychological symptoms
Evolutionary theories regarding shamanism and schizophrenia provide hypotheses testable through analysis of survey data. A questionnaire, administered to a predominately African-American sample in North Carolina (N = 965), surveyed schizotypal experience and other psychological symptoms, absorption and related psychological variables, childhood and adolescent difficulty, and incidence of unusual experiences (apparitions, paranormal dreams, waking…
Family Therapy in Iran
Iranian clinical psychologists have devised family therapy methods that use cognitive behavior models that fit with their collectivist Islamic culture. The authors review Islamic-based strategies and describe family therapy with a culturally specific case of childhood obsessive-compulsive disorder. Family therapy, adapted to integrated, religious-based cognitive behavior therapy seems appropriate for clients who are served in Iran.Los psicólogos …

Shamanic Healing, Human Evolution, and the Origin of Religion
It is likely that Homo sapiens practiced shamanic healing for many millennia. Studies within anthropology, folklore, hypnosis, medical history, psychoneuroimmunology, and religion support the argument that suggestions embedded within shamanic rituals have therapeutic effects. Shamanic/hypnotic suggestions may reduce pain, enhance healing, control blood loss, facilitate childbirth, and alleviate psychological disorders. Those more responsive to su…

Wondrous Events
James McClenon examines the relationship between wondrous events-extrasensory perception, apparitions, out-of-body and near-death experiences, sleep paralysis, psychokinesis, firewalking, psychic surgery, and spiritual healing-and the foundations of religious belief
Surveys of Anomalous Experience in Chinese, Japanese, and American Samples
Scholars often assume that religious preference, religiosity, and scientific training affect the incidence of anomalous experiences. Caucasian-American, African-American, Chinese, and Japanese college students were polled regarding déjà vu, night paralysis, extrasensory perception (ESP), contact with the dead, out-of-body experience (OBE), and belief in ESP. Although the incidence of reported episode varied cross-culturally, knowledge of a respon…
Near-Death Folklore in Medieval China and Japan
Western researchers have found common elements within modern near-death experiences (NDEs). Equivalent primary features exist in medieval European and Asian folklore accounts. These elements, which seemingly transcend culture, support belief in spiritual guides, immediate judgement by a deity following death, and transitionnal stages within the netherworld. Commonalities within NDE accounts may have contributed to cross-cultural convergences with…

Firewalking in Japan, Sri Lanka, and the USA
A cross-cultural study of the ideologies justifying firewalking illustrates the manner in which ideas are shaped by their environment. Firewalking can be interpreted as part of a rhetorical process producing a society's folk knowledge. Japanese firewalkers, of the Buddhist Shingon sect, firewalk as an exercise in mind control, an activity thought to yield benefits for the community as well as the individual. Sri Lankans (both Hindu and Buddhist) …
Terrorism as Persuasion
Although terrorism has often been portrayed as low intensity warfare, it also can be visualized as a form of persuasion, one frequently ineffective due to logical fallacies. Successful persuasion is dependent on the interaction of four elements: speakers, arguments, situations, and audiences. Terrorism constitutes a type of rhetoric in which terrorist speakers communicate with media audiences, using symbolic violence as a means of argument. Terro…
