Magic Surgery and the Formation of the Inner World

pen with dogs for perhaps as long as a week. She is not allowed to display any human behavior during that entire week. She is forbidden to stand up on two feet, speak, sleep on a bed, drink or eat with her hands. She must crawl on her hands and knees and lap water and food from a dish as the dogs do.
