Indigenous cultures and mental health counselling : four directions for integration with counselling psychology / edited by Suzanne L. Stewart, Roy Moodley, and Ashley Hyatt.

Stewart, Suzanne L., (editor.). Moodley, Roy, (editor.). Hyatt, Ashley, (editor.).

Summary:

"North America's Indigenous population is a vulnerable group, with specific psychological and healing needs that are not widely met in the mental health care system. Indigenous peoples face certain historical, cultural-linguistic and socioeconomic barriers to mental health care access that government, health care organizations and social agencies must work to overcome. This volume examines ways Indigenous healing practices can complement Western psychological service to meet the needs of Indigenous peoples through traditional cultural concepts. Bringing together leading experts in the fields of Aboriginal mental health and psychology, it provides data and models of Indigenous cultural practices in psychology that are successful with Indigenous peoples. It considers Indigenous epistemologies in applied psychology and research methodology, and informs government policy on mental health service for these populations."--Publisher's website.
