  (...) in a rigid social structure, where individuals have little opportunity for achievement and little control over their daily activities, possession trance is more likely to occur. (...) Possession trance, by offering a decision-making authority in the person of a medium, revealing the presumed will of spirits, allows persons oppressed by rigid societies some degree of leeway and some elbow room. As such. possession trance may be said to represent a safety valve, of sorts, for societies whose rigid social structures cause certain stresses.
