A shaman or bomin has the expertise to treat those who are possessed and whiten their habits as before. When we recognize or name something as a behavioral disorder behavior, we are often guided by what is known as the society's norm. For those who follow what society does, then their actions are considered normal. On the other hand, if what a person does is contrary to the generality of society, it is said to deviate from society's norms or called abnormal. This book discusses several types of mental illness and how pukotherapy and modern medicine are used in the treatment of mental illness |
