Indigenous and Interdependent Perspectives of Healing: Implications for Counseling and Research
Yeh, Christine J.; Hunter, Carla D.; Madan-Bahel, Anvita; Chiang, Lillian; Arora, Agnes K.
Journal of Counseling and Development, v82 n4 p410 Fall 2004
Because of the dramatic increases of culturally diverse individuals in the United States, indigenous perspectives of healing must be understood in the context of interdependent cultural selves. The authors present an extensive review of the literature with a focus on understanding the role of spirituality, balancing energies, close social networks, and interconnectedness in indigenous healing perspectives and philosophies. Examples of indigenous healing approaches are presented, and implications for counseling and research are discussed.
