Record summary
1970s possession literature frequently compared Christian exorcism with African spirit-medium and healing traditions, helping establish a cross-cultural vocabulary for trance and dissociation. This lead points to named contemporary case studies and comparative discussions rather than an African incident itself. It may matter for Lattice research because it reveals how psychiatric, theological and anthropological explanations were negotiated across cultural settings. The exact title and author should be verified before use; broad recollection of this literature is particularly vulnerable to conflating casebooks and secondary summaries.
