Western medicine, including psychiatry and psychology, has had a
virtual monopoly of the health industry. This has led to economic
incentives that literally keep people sick. Anthropologists,
because of their holistic and comparative base, are in a unique
position to apply their knowledge within clinical settings. Written
for anthropologists, but useful to all clinicians, Rush's book
offers a new model for understanding health and illness, provides a
review of techniques found in many cultures for reducing individual
and system stress, and offers processes for recovering health and
individual and social balance. Rush establishes a model outlining
the development of emotional problems and then offers the clinicial
tools and techniques for helping individuals, families, and groups
reduce stress and retranslate traumatic or distressing events. The
reader will discover a very different view of emotional and
physical stress; the approach taken is informational and
anthropological in nature. From this approach arise numerous
techniques designed to help clients achieve stress reduction and
enhanced healing.
