Likely unread, contents are fresh, clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Gentle handling wear. Straight uncreased spine. -- This book explores the intersection of neurology and Navajo cultural interpretations of seizure disorders. It documents three syndromes recognized within traditional Navajo medicine - hand trembling, frenzy witchcraft, and moth madness - and compares them with biomedical categories of epilepsy and related neurological conditions.

Particular attention is given to the religious and ritual significance assigned to these conditions, the diagnostic role of traditional healers, and how explanatory models of illness shape patient experience and community response. 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.…
