Bomohs are shamans from an Islamic Unani tradition. While in Borneo with the Peace Corps in the 1960s, Ann Drake made contacts which eventually would draw her into this lineage connected with historic indigenous practices. (Book Description)

The text begins with her shamanic initiations in the jungles of Borneo and takes us through her journey as a clinical psychologist dedicated to the healing of her clients. In so doing, she extends the territory of shamanism into clinical psychology by demonstrating, through clinical case histories, how shamanic techniques such as soul retrieval and extraction enhances the healing of numerous types of traumatic and disassociative disorders.  (Larry Peters)
