| Summary |
"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) |
