Summary: Widely cited reference, but deserves a mixed review
Comment: This book is one of the most widely cited and recommended among anthropologists. People in other disciplines may come away wondering why. The book emphasizes the importance of depth interviewing and Herdt gives much credit to Stoller (a psychiatrist) for his assistance. People trained in clinical interviewing or qualitative depth interviews will give much of the book a "so what's new" response, while those without these backgrounds may find it more illuminating. Regardless, the book is overlong and the esoteric sexual rituals of Herdt's study population become rather repetitious and boring, although the individuals he studied are themselves, vivid and interesting.
