Abstract
The concept of possession, which can be difficult for physicians to accept, is a key concept in Five Element acupuncture and one associated with definitive therapeutic protocols. The author contends that the notion of possession, once stripped of its demoniacal images, is actually a common phenomenon that might better be un- derstood as a field effect. This, in turn, might lead to more creative acupuncture strategies.
