"If you are a student, professor, or practitioner of the 'talking cures' – buy this book, read it, use it, and experience the difference it makes in your thoughts and actions."
"As the world enters a global era of contact and interdependency, it is essential that non-Western approaches to healing be given increased understanding, appreciation, and respect, for within these traditional approaches are profound and effective insights and techniques for healing the human mind. ...
"Recent years have also seen a flood of books on "cultural competence" and related issues for clinicians. This one broadens the field and stakes out its own territory as it includes the traditional healing practices of groups around the globe, and even touches on contemporary "alternative" and "integrative" healing methods. This compendium should be a useful resource for investigators, practitioners and students dealing with ethnic minorities as well as isolated populations."
This book is an extensive collection of traditional healing practices relevant to counselling/psychotherapy. The traditions visited are critically examined and the practicalities of integrating such traditions into professional practice is provided in Part 5. This is an excellent resource for those training to be counsellors/psychotherapists, those who are training counsellors and psychotherapists and those qualified/experienced counsellors/psychotherapists who wish to integrate traditional healing into their practice.
This is a very unique book that gives a good insight into a plethora of traditional healing practices. It will be useful for academics and trainee counsellors.
