Shamanism and the psychosis continuum

Robert M Ross et al. Behav Brain Sci. 2018 Jan.

Abstract

Singh's cultural evolutionary theory of shamanism is impressive, but it does not explain why some people become shamans while others do not. We propose that individual differences in where people lie on a "psychosis continuum" could play an important causal role.
