Community Healing Among Puerto Ricans: Espiritismo as a Therapy for the Soul

Chapter Chapter 7 in Healing Cultures, 2001, pp 115-129 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In the last three decades, Caribbean indigenous healing systems have been studied extensively by Western researchers in an attempt to increase our understanding of healing as a generic process.1 Their studies suggest the need to consider the substantial role of culture in the nature of healing and disease. An appreciation of indigenous healing systems can be an important step in improving the delivery of health care, in particular of mental health services, to all populations.
