Abstract
Voodoo has evolved into a rural Southern practice in America called “root work.” The migration of the Negro has brought “root work” to the industrial North. The cases of 7 patients who were seen in a Northern hospital and who shared a belief in hexing and “root work” are presented. The diagnostic and therapeutic implications of modern day voodoo in the Negro ghetto are discussed.
