Download or read book Indigenous Healing Psychology written by Richard Katz and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Connecting modern psychology to its Indigenous roots to enhance the healing process and psychology itself • Shares the healing wisdom of Indigenous people the author has worked with, including the Ju/’hoansi of the Kalahari Desert, the Fijians of the South Pacific, Sicangu Lakota people, and Cree and Anishnabe First Nations people • Explains how Indigenous perspectives can help create a more effective model of best practices in psychology • Explores the vital role of spirituality in the practice of psychology and the shift of emphasis that occurs when one understands that all beings are interconnected Wherever the first inhabitants of the world gathered together, they engaged in the human concerns of community building, interpersonal relations, and spiritual understanding. As such these earliest people became our “first psychologists.” Their wisdom lives on through the teachings of contemporary Indigenous elders and healers, offering unique insights and practices to help us revision the self-limiting approaches of modern psychology and enhance the processes of healing and social justice. Reconnecting psychology to its ancient roots, Richard Katz, Ph.D., sensitively shares the healing wisdom of Indigenous peoples he has worked with, including the Ju/’hoansi of the Kalahari Desert, Fijians native to the Fiji Islands, Lakota people of the Rosebud Reservation, and Cree and Anishnabe First Nations people from Saskatchewan. Through stories about the profoundly spiritual ceremonies and everyday practices he engaged in, he seeks to fulfill the responsibility he was given: build a foundation of reciprocity so Indigenous teachings can create a path toward healing psychology. Also drawing on his experience as a Harvard-trained psychologist, the author reveals how modern psychological approaches focus too heavily on labels and categories and fail to recognize the benefits of enhanced states of consciousness. Exploring the vital role of spirituality in the practice of psychology, Katz explains how the Indigenous approach offers a way to understand challenges and opportunities, from inside lived truths, and treat mental illness at its source. Acknowledging the diversity of Indigenous approaches, he shows how Indigenous perspectives can help create a more effective model of best practices in psychology as well as guide us to a more holistic existence where we can once again assume full responsibility in the creation of our lives.
Download or read book Stepped Care 2 0 The Power of Conundrums written by Peter Cornish and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-11-20 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stepped Care 2.0: A Paradigm Shift in Mental Health, by Dr Peter Cornish, made a compelling argument for why the existing mental health care system has consistently struggled to meet the needs of clients from all walks of life, and laid out key principles and guidelines for how the system could be changed. But what challenges are involved in putting these ideas into practice? Stepped Care 2.0: The Power of Conundrums features essays, interviews, and arguments from a wide range of contributors who have tried to do just that. The Power of Conundrums dives deep into the practical application of the Stepped Care 2.0 model (SC2.0), looking at the ways SC2.0 has succeeded, the difficulties administrators face when implementing it, and how it could be improved. Chapters touch on topics including: the evidence for stepped care, the way SC2.0 can be stymied by the Western cultural values that dominate mental healthcare, implementation science and SC2.0, the risk paradigm and SC2.0, the model’s one-at-a-time approach to therapy, what co-design means in an SC2.0 context, a case study on how implementing SC2.0 can go wrong, the understanding of recovery put forward by the model, and how SC2.0 can work for clients experiencing complex, persistent, or chronic mental health issues. Each chapter is followed by a reflection from Cornish, and the book concludes with a roundtable discussion about how SC2.0 can evolve to meet the challenges it faces. This text brings theory and practice together by including an updated version of Stepped Care 2.0: A Paradigm Shift in Mental Health, as well as the full text of Stepped Care 2.0: The Power of Conundrums.

Alongside beautiful illustrations, stunning scientific facts, and lessons in neuroscience, psychology, and evolutionary biology, we learn to care deeper: to restore our innate place within the natural world and fight for an ecology of life that supports our flourishing in balance with Nature alongside our human and non-human family.

Download or read book Enlightenment Unveiled written by Jen Ward and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-03-02 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jen Ward, LMT, is a Reiki Master. She is an intuitive, a gifted healer and an innovator of healing practices. She is at the leading edge of energy work; providing a loving segue for her techniques to clients, enabling them to cross the bridge of self-discovery with her. Her passion is to empower the individual in their own healing journey so that they can remain in their center every step of the way. Jen is considered a Sangoma, which is a traditional African Shaman who channels their ancestors emoting sounds and vocalizations in their ceremonies. An interesting prerequisite to being a Sangoma is to have survived being at the brink of death; which she fulfilled when in April 2008 she came back to society on the brink of starvation as a result of traumatic involuntary imprisonment. She returned to the world of humanity, a devout soul inspired to serve. Her special abilities have also allowed her to innovate a revolutionary technique for finding lost pets by performing emotional release on the animal. Using this method, she has successfully reunited many lost pets with their owners. Jen currently works as a long-distance emotional release facilitator, public speaker and consultant to high end clientele including celebrities, high end professionals and professional athletes. She also generously shares techniques and daily tapping exercises on social media that are geared to empowering the individual to discover their innate talents and gifts. Enlightenment Unveiled is a compilation of case studies from Jen Ward's private sessions where she uncovered core issues from the client's past life memories that are causing disturbances in their present life. The information revealed in the sessions was used to create incredible shifts in the individual's present life using a series of modalities including the popular technique of tapping. The specific taps that were used to drastically shift the client into empowerment are given in this book. Enlightenment Unveiled affords the opportunity for the reader to experience similar dramatic changes that personal sessions with Jen Ward would avail. These changes happen within themselves, all their relationships and with the word at large.
Download or read book Knowing the Past Facing the Future written by Sheila Carr-Stewart and published by Purich Books. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1867, Canada’s federal government became responsible for the education of Indigenous peoples: Status Indians and some Métis would attend schools on reserves; non-Status Indians and some Métis would attend provincial schools. The chapters in this collection – some reflective, some piercing, all of them insightful – show that this system set the stage for decades of broken promises and misguided experiments that are only now being rectified in the spirit of truth and reconciliation. The contributors individually explore what must change in order to work toward reconciliation; collectively, they reveal the possibilities and challenges associated with incorporating Traditional Knowledge and Indigenous teaching and healing practices into school courses and programs.
Download or read book From Mindfulness to Heartfulness written by Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu and published by Berrett-Koehler Publishers. This book was released on 2018-02-09 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A rare gem . . . filled with valuable and authentic teachings about practical and spiritual paths toward balance and understanding.” —Richard Katz, PhD, author of Indigenous Healing Psychology Millions have found mindfulness to be a powerful practice for reducing stress, enhancing attention, and instilling tranquility. But it can offer so much more—it can transform you, make you more fully awake, alive, and aware of your connection to all beings. In Japanese, the character that best expresses mindfulness, 念, consists of two parts—the top part, 今, meaning “now,” and the bottom part, 心, meaning “heart.” Using stories from his own life as the son of an Irish father and a Japanese mother, a professor in Japan and America, a psychotherapist, a father, and a husband, Stephen Murphy-Shigematsu describes eight “heartfulness” principles that help us realize that the deepest expression of an enlightened mind is found in our relation to others. “He shows us through stories and practices how to expand our contemplative lives from being self-focused to being inclusive, connected, compassionate, and responsible . . . Each story is a jewel, opening the heart. He connects heartfulness to social justice, leadership, and education and offers simple, direct instructions for seven heartful practices.” —Mirabai Bush, author of Walking Each Other Home (with Ram Dass) “Resonant with Stephen’s kindness, heartfulness, and wisdom and filled with excellent exercises and practical guides, this lovely volume will be a friend and guide to all those intent on creating and sustaining thriving lives, workplaces, relationships, and communities.” —Dan Barbezat, Professor of Economics, Amherst College

It shows how the actualisation of these ‘directions’ leads to greater well-being, and how this can be brought about through the development of internal and external synergies. Using in-depth cases, the book provides detailed guidance on how this framework can be applied. After reading this book, you’ll feel better equipped to understand, and work with, your clients’ directions—tailoring the therapy to their unique wants.
