Volume 15 features Melford Spiro's "Culture and Human Nature" and "The internalization of Burmese Gender Identity" along with an interview of Spiro by B. Kilbourne and S. Bolle. Additional topics include children's fantasy life in Papua New Guinea (F. Poole); a psychoanthropological approach to Kagwahiv food taboos (W. Kracke); an ethnological and Rorschach study of three groups of Australian aborigines (R. Boyer et al.); a consideration of the "trickster" in relation to issues of sublimation and psychosocial development; and a review of Bettelheim's contribution to anthropology (R. Paul).
