The authors describe the midweek evening service of an independent black church which employs prayer, testimony, and spirit possession. They compare this religious group experience to the theoretical model of the healing community and emphasize the concepts of "communitas" and "healing charisma." The authors suggest that the model of a healing community, as represented by this form of the black church service, represents culturally relevant and functional therapeutic assets for some black people.
作者描述了一个独立黑人教会的周三晚间礼拜仪式,该仪式采用祈祷、见证和灵附现象。他们将这种宗教团体体验与治疗性社区的理论模型进行比较,并强调“交融感”和“治疗魅力”的概念。作者认为,以这种形式的黑人教会礼拜仪式为代表的治疗性社区模型,对一些黑人来说代表了具有文化相关性和功能性的治疗资源。
