As explained by Ann Fadiman in The Spirit Catches You and You Fall Down, to prevent the dab from touching its potential victims, the txiv neeb instructs their Hmong clients to perform ceremonies in which they sacrifice objects such as chickens, pigs, water buffalo horn, and bloody spirit - money among other materials. To successfully heal, the txiv neeb, the patient, and the
Hmong community need to believe in the power of this practice. The concept that BEST accounts for the effectiveness of this matrix of beliefs is:
A. Interpretivist approach
B. Magic
C. Health belief model
D. Shamanistic complex
