Book excerpt: In this book, the authors highlight the importance of eliminating health disparities and increasing the access of Native Americans to critical substance abuse and mental health services. While most chapters are framed in scientific terms, they are concerned with promoting healing through changes in the way we treat our sick-spiritually, traditionally, ceremonially, and scientifically-whether in rural areas, on reservations, and in cities. The book will be a valuable resource for medical and mental health professionals, medical anthropologists, and the Native health community. Visit our website for sample chapters!

Book excerpt: Follow the professional journey of a Native American counselor, who, although educated in mainstream American universities, found herself, once on the job, lacking in skills necessary to be therapeutic for her cultural clients. "Counseling Native Americans: Spiritual and Multicultural Insights from Swan Circle," provides authentic observations of how American Indian clients relate to the natural, social, personal, and spiritual environments. The book is a significant contribution to the large literature on cross-cultural therapy. ?Dr. Catherine Reimer?s search for cross-cultural understandings and techniques is a fascinating read. Insights on how to integrate nature and spirituality should be especially helpful to counselors, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and related professionals who may sometimes feel that they are being educated in a ?spirit free? zone.? Clemmont E. Vontress, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Counseling, George Washington University. ?Wonderfully organized and thoughtfully constructed, this comprehensive engaging book will be a major source for understanding the complexities associated with providing mental health services for counseling American Indians and Alaska Natives for years to come.? Readers are asked ?to think deeply about the realities of the indigenous groups that people write about and how mental health services and research can be effectively and sensitively provided and conducted. Anyone who is curious about the depth and scope of providing counseling services to indigenous populations should keep this book close by, as it will prove to be a valuable resource.? Joseph E. Trimble, Ph.D., Distinguished University Professor, Professor of Psychology, Western Washington University. Foreword by Martha Norman Rashid, Professor Emerita, George Washington, University and Jane A. Simington, Ph.D. Originally published in 2013 as The Circle of Swans: Journey of a Native American Counselor.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Indigenous Counseling is based in universal principals/truths that promote a way to think about how to live in the world and with one another that extends beyond the scope of Western European thought. Individual health and wellness is intricately interwoven into the relationships that we establish on multiple levels in our lives, those that we establish with ourselves, with others, and with the external environments with which we live. From an Indigenous perspective, health and wellness in our individual lives, families, community and world, is the result of ancient knowledge that produces action in a way that is beneficial to all beings on the planet for generations to come. The current social and political record of our country now clearly reveals the result of a paradigm that has outlived its time. No longer can we ignore the core values of our fields of study; we must take a deeper look into the academic endeavors that inform the way we pass our cultures’ values on to successive generations. While it has taken Western Science decades to catch up to Indigenous/Native Science, we now have ample scientific evidence to support claims of interconnectedness on multiple levels of individual and collective health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book presents a theoretical discussion of problems and issues encountered in the Native American community from a perspective that accepts Native knowledge as legitimate. Native American cosmology and metaphor are used extensively in order to deal with specific problems such as alcoholism, suicide, family, and community problems. The authors discuss what it means to present material from the perspective of a people who have legitimate ways of knowing and conceptualizing reality and show that it is imperative to understand intergenerational trauma and internalized oppression in order to understand the issues facing Native Americans today."--pub. website.

Book excerpt: "Mental Health Care for Urban Indians: Clinical Insights From Native Practitioners is the first clinical book written by American Indian scholars working in Indian communities. This groundbreaking volume provides the reader with a basic understanding of the historical impact of colonization, the ensuing results of urban migration and boarding schools, and the effects that these events have had on the Native community. These lingering effects include a lack of cultural identity, a loss of tradition, and a sense of isolation that may lead to violence, alcoholism, and risky behaviors. Chapter authors acknowledge this history while developing culturally sensitive practice recommendations that incorporate traditional healing methods. This will be an invaluable resource for psychologists and other helping professionals who work with Native clients"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)

This book was released on 2018-10-02 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counseling Native American Indians: Insights from Conversations with Beaver expertly weaves the story of Beaver, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma who embraced Native American Indian spiritual practices to overcome substance abuse, together with insights on how to incorporate the cultural beliefs underlying these practices into daily living. The book also offers guidance to non-indigenous counselors and others who wish to work effectively within the Native American Community in reservation or urban settings. In opening chapters readers learn from Beaver's detailed account practical insights on Indian cultural values from growing up in a communal Choctaw community in Oklahoma. Subsequent chapters feature interviews with Beaver, which recount his experiences growing up in a loving Choctaw family that was led by a medicine man uncle, surviving abuse in an Indian boarding school, surviving combat in the Pacific during World War ll, and relocating into an urban Indian community where he started a substance abuse treatment program for Native American Indians. He recounts his evolution from substance abuser to a leader of traditional ceremonies such as the sweat lodge and vision quest. He became a highly respected healer who helped many find relief from physical and emotional problems, as recounted by other individuals in this book. The book also offers information on the structure of the modern day Native American Indian community and stresses the importance of modern day Indians adhering to traditional values. Counseling Native American Indians simultaneously shares the inspiring story of Beaver's life while providing valuable advice for counseling Native American populations. The text is well suited for courses in Native American Studies and psychology and counseling, especially those that focus on multicultural approaches. This textbook is part of the Cognella Series on Advances in Culture, Race, and Ethnicity. The series, co-sponsored by Division 45 of the American Psychological Association, addresses critical and emerging issues within culture, race, and ethnic studies, as well as specific topics among key ethnocultural groups.
