The need for culturally sensitive therapies that incorporate the spiritual values of the minority client cannot be overstated.\nAuthors Ricardo Carrillo, PhD, and Concepcion Martinez Saucedo, PhD, argue that traditional Mesoamerican healing approaches to mental health issues can and should be used by a wide variety of health care practitioners and those in supportive roles, including psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers.\nIn Cultura y Bienestar: MesoAmerican Based Healing and Mental Health Practice Based Evidence, these two experts discuss the efficiency and potential of such traditional practices as Mexican curanderismo, medicina papalote (butterfly medicine), and medicinal drumming.\nTraditional healing practices view the physical, the mental, and the spiritual as a unified system—unlike the Western approach to mental health and its tendency toward reductionist, symptom-based treatment. Mesoamerican healing also places the patient within the larger context of the community.\nWhat Carrillo and Saucedo suggest is nothing less than a revolution in mental health services, blending allopathic care and traditional healing with Western methodologies to create a culturally inclusive care system that acknowledges and respects the spiritual values of minority clients.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1542581583\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1542581583.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Carrillo PhD, Ricardo A.|Cardenas, Isaac Alvarez|DelCastillo PhD, Ramon|Martinez PhD, Concepcion Saucedo|Tello MA, Jerry|Torrres, Eliseo Cheo|Hoskins PhD, David|Crespo MFT, Evelyn|Padron, E.|Nunez PhD, Sal\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: This copy has clearly been enjoyed—expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover.
