Shalini Masih's upbringing in a vibrant community of priests and healers provided her with a unique perspective on the realm of spirit possession and its potential for healing. As an adult, her psychoanalytic training sparked a critical reevaluation of these experiences, inspiring her to integrate psychoanalytic principles into traditional healing practices. Through extensive exploration, Psychoanalytic Conversations with States of Spirit Possession: Beauty in Brokenness acknowledges the intricate interplay between cultural expressions and psychoanalytic theory, avoiding the reduction of spirit possession to a simplistic phenomenon. Instead, it highlights the inherent beauty of this complex and enriching experience, illustrating relevant themes through culturally sensitive psychoanalytic conversations with participants who grappled with haunting and possession by ghosts. The author's personal journey uncovers the ghosts of her inner world, drawing upon her reveries, dreams, and nightmares to unravel the deeper unconscious processes underlying her informants' testimonies. These testimonies often follow a haunting trajectory, moving from one grotesque ghost to another, until these spectral beings reappear as fragmented selves in search of spiritual meaning.
