Healing the Soul Wound: Counseling with American Indians and Other Native Peoples PDF

I have to say this book is fabulous, despite the odd minor criticism. I actually brought a few things on the subject of cultural clarity to the attention of the author who was welcoming of feedback and whom showed interest in reading some of my own culture's perspective on these issues. On the whole this book does much positively in the way of challenging the status-quo perspective on personal wellbeing and mental health issues in our society today. We have at large one of the most serious crises affecting our world today - that of soul loss and spiritual/cultural disenfranchisement on an epidemic scale, which is at the root, the underlying cause, of all the wars and conflicts of countless varieties on the face of the earth.

Eduardo's book teaches readers much concerning the need for the psychotherapeutic/psychiatric branch of the Western medical profession to become more open to deferring expertise or know-how to worldviews which have for decades, if not centuries, been ignored and downplayed as "irrational and/or unrealistic" in being able to offer genuine solutions to many problems in society at large today. Native cultures right across the globe have been blessed with much insight from the Creator, for at one time, all populations shared a common experience. It is a fact that now as in the more recent history, even back to the more recent ancient history that feudal hegemony in the West has had a magnitudinous effect on severing the tie between the West and the knowledge of how social structure critically influences how people within society engage with each other and the wider creation.
