What happens when a centuries-old healing tradition collides with Western ideas of medicine, science and proof?In this edition of Author Conversations, broadcast journalist Chris Dabbs speaks with Dr Scott M Taubold, author of The System of Healing Used by the Filipino Espiritistas.He discusses the history of what Western observers came to call “psychic surgery”, the role of trance and spiritual belief and the place traditional healers can occupy alongside conventional medicine. Originally developed from Dr Taubold’s doctoral research, the book explores the healing practices of Filipino Espiritistas — practitioners whose traditions combine indigenous approaches, spirituality, cultural belief and influences including Christianity. During the conversation, Dr Taubold explains how his interest began after moving to Hawaii, becoming immersed in Filipino culture and later travelling regularly to the Philippines. The conversation also examines the difficult boundary between observation, belief and scientific evidence. Dr Taubold describes experiences he says he witnessed personally but acknowledges the challenges involved in scientifically proving or disproving such phenomena. Chris and Dr Scott discuss:• Why Filipino Espiritista healing became internationally known as “psychic surgery”• The influence of indigenous Filipino traditions and Christianity• Scott’s doctoral research and experiences in the Philippines• Folk healers and their role within local communities• The relationship between belief, placebo effects and mind-body medicine• Claims of unusual healing experiences and the limits of scientific investigation• Why traditional healing practices can disappear as cultures change• Whether conventional and complementary approaches to health can coexist• What Scott hopes readers will take from his research This conversation explores the subject as a cultural, historical and personal account.
