Publisher's Synopsis
Richard Katz, a clinical psychologist and anthropologist, spent two years on a remote Fijian island. His fieldwork became a communal journey into the unknown during which the healing practices he witnessed were inseparable from his own experience of transformation. Apprenticed to a renowned healer, he was drawn into a situation out of which came insights into the relevance of traditional practices in western culture, as well as recognition of the dangerous alternative to the "Straight Path" which some call witchcraft.
