Abstract:
Healing routines and rituals have been an essential part of life since time in memorial. Rather than dismiss modern healing rituals because, in many instances, they appear to have no empirically proven manifest function, an argument is proposed in defence of routine and ritual, suggesting that there is an urgent need to explore their meaning or latent function.
