The work situates Navajo knowledge within broader medical anthropological debates about culture‑bound syndromes, biomedicine versus traditional medicine, and cross‑cultural psychiatry. By combining ethnography with neurological research, it highlights the complexity of interpreting illness at the boundaries of cultural belief, spirituality, and clinical practice.…
