Abstract

A study conducted by Harvard Medical School explores the integration of Indigenous traditional healing (ITH) with mainstream mental health services to address mental health concerns in American Indian communities. The research focuses on insights from an urban American Indian traditional healer, highlighting their expansive view of ITH and guiding principles in therapeutic practice. The study challenges dominant Euro-American perspectives in psychology, advocating for a broader consideration of therapeutic traditions and practices. This peer-reviewed research provides valuable insights for professionals in the field of mental health. [Extracted from the article]
