Language of title: English
Author/Creator: Linda M. Dougherty
One Sentence Summary: The article offers an emic perspective to facilitate an understanding of a woman's performance as a healer and her actions with the devotees in Nepal.

Description: The article offers an emic perspective to facilitate an understanding of a woman's performance as a healer and her actions with the devotees in Nepal. The author argues that this kind of understanding is qualitatively different from and ideally prior to explanation in social science. The article attempts to show something of an informants' perspective through a description of Ma and her devotees oriented around these people's own concepts of illness and the supernatural in the discussion of healing.
