520			_aThe present volume is the first systematic treatment of Filipino religious psychology. Various authors discuss three major areas: the psychology of Filipino folk medicine, the psychology of religious experience in popular religious practices, and the psychology of leadership in locally founded sects, Western observers usually look down on the practices of the arbularyo or the local folk medicine practitioner, the fanatic devotion of the Quiapo Black Nazarene devotees, the leadership style of the Lapiang Malaya and other local sects. But the various papers try to view and understand the religious phenomena from the Filipino viewpoint and their conclusions are often symphatetic and positive. The may also serve as reference in psychology but also in sociology, anthropology and theology. It may also introduce non-Filipinos in understanding religious phenomena in the Philippines.
