Rites of Passage and the Borderline Syndrome: Perspectives in Transpersonal Anthropology
Borderline Personality Disorder and the Possession Syndrome: An Ethnopsychoanalytic Perspective
Characteristics of American and Japanese Schizophrenic Patients Elicited By the Rorschach Technique and Demographic Data
This cross-cultural study addressed itself to the investigation of personality characteristics of American and Japanese schizophrenic patients as elicited by the Rorschach technique and demographic data.

The Role of Dreams in the Life of a Mentally Retarded Individual
Trance, initiation, and psychotherapy in Tamang shamanism

Psychiatric concepts, such as dissociation, role playing and hypnosis, are integrated with the ethnographic literature on spirit possession, soul journey and other forms of shamanic ecstasy in order to shed light upon some old anthropological controversies regarding the psychopathology and authenticity of the shaman's trance.
