Anthropology of Symbolic Healing [and Comments and Reply]
A number of investigators are agreed that the popular medical systems of tribal, peasant, and allied peoples are "effective." Most of the literature closely examining that effectiveness focuses on the ethnopharmacological dimensions of the healing systems and generally ignores psychosocial factors. Recent developments in psychophysiology may offer insights into these neglected areas. The specific idea to be examined here is that successful "gener…

ion contributed by Europeans and widely heralded as a standard of industrial civilization -is really much less abstract than the temporal operations performed by rails in switching time. Gladwin (1970) has demonstrated a similar set of abstract integrative tasks and abilities in Micronesian navigators, on a much larger scale a d with an institutionalized theory and named constructs, and he suggests that urban professional drivers may command simi…
Ethnology
Structure, Content, and Cultural Meaning of Yuwipi
An analysis of the structure of a modern Lakota healing ritual and the kinds of problems treated by it reveals Lakota beliefs about the nature of humans and their relationship to the universe, including their experiences with acculturation. The first step in controlling the indeterminacy that is pervasive in Lakota life is recognizing and accepting the disorder. The agents of this control are certain spiritual beings and forces associated with id…
Value Themes of the Native American Tribalistic Movement Among the South Dakota Sioux
In 1967 and the years following, many Sioux were beginning to question that assimilation into various social strata of Anglo American society was inevitable, and there was a tendency toward identification with the Sioux "tribal heritage." This tribalistic movement, the local expression of a general movement among Native Americans in Canada and the United States, appears to be having a profound effect on the values of the Sioux. It represents a cu…

Psychological anthropology has contributed more to cross-cultural psychology and psychiatry than to its parent discipline. Needed is a biosocial psychological anthropology stressing the analysis of social relationships and focusing on the individual in his natural social context rather than on isolated personality mechanisms or grand culture-and-personality theoretical schemes. Human social relationships and structures may be viewed as having bee…
Adjustment and Value Conflict in Urbanizing Dakota Indians Measured by Q-Sort Technique1
As part of a larger study of American Indian migration to the San Francisco Bay Area, a Q-Sort test was devised to discover and measure value conflict Methodological problems in the administration and analysis of the test are discussed. In addition, comparison of the performance of selected individuals with their observed behavior shows that individual behavioral change in acculturation cannot be described in linear acculturation continuum models…

The Structure of Country Drinking Parties on Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota
Drinking parties in country Indian homes display a regular structure that does not seem to be necessarily related to the amount of alcohol consumed. Elements of this structure include changes in interpersonal behavior, focus of behavior, topics of conversation, and affect. Relating this structure to other aspects of reservation culture, notably dissonance between ideal models of social organization and day-to-day disruption of the model, point up…
