The Borneo Research Council was established in 1958 to promote scientific research in the social, biological, and medical sciences in Borneo. This monograph series is part of the publication program of the Council. This second monograph deals with spirituality - with its psychological roots, its social organization and uses and its symbolic elaboration and performance. Traditions of shamanism, mediumship and possession in Borneo are rich, complex and diverse. The essays which comprise this volume document and analyze a much wider range of ethnographic instances than has previously been assembled. Together they show both the enduring vitality of Bornean spirituality as practice, belief and role and the evolving development of these in the present world.
