Abstract/Summary

The attribution of patients in the recovery and non-recovery from a particular illness treated by an albularyo was the focus of this study. In particular, the researchers tried to identify the attributions pertaining to themselves and to other entities. Using the purposive sampling and chain referral, the researchers were able to gather twenty-four subjects, equally divided between the recovery and non-recovery. The results of the study show that attributions that was found which pertained to other entities were made to the albularyo and to a supernatural being.
