Journal Article
THE UPI ESPIRITISTAS: A CASE STUDY IN CULTURAL ADJUSTMENT
1966
Overview
An analysis of field res of a Philippino cult loosely based upon the Union Espiritista Cristiana Filipinas, a nat'l spiritist movement, focusing on (1) the background of spirit belief in the Philippines, & (2) the org & practices of the Espiritista cult. The cult is contrasted with Christian religion & modern medicine. It is concluded that in terms of function as well as structure, the soc system in which the Upi Espiritista cult operates offers little promise as a fruitful context for the analysis. The key to the cult's attraction may lie in its cultural dimension, not in the part it plays in the org of roles & collectivities through which Espiritistas interact soc'ly, but in the integration of beliefs & values in terms of which they interpret their experience & orient their soc behavior. M. Maxfield.
