In recent years, interest in non-Western curative techniques among
Americans has grown by leaps and bounds. Integrative
Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work is the first book to strongly connect
Western therapeutic techniques with Eastern philosophy and
practices, while also providing a comprehensive and pragmatic
agenda for social work, and mental health professionals. This
breakthrough text, written by a cast of highly regarded researchers
from both Asia and America, presents a holistic, therapeutic
approach that ties Eastern philosophy and practical techniques to
Western forms of therapy in order to help bring about positive,
transformative changes in individuals and families.
Integrative therapy focuses on the mind-body-spirit relationship,
recognizes spirituality as a fundamental domain of human existence,
acknowledges and utilizes the mind's power as well as the body's,
and reaches beyond self-actualization or symptom reduction to
broaden a perception of self that connects individuals to a larger
sense of themselves and to their communities. Here, the authors
provide a pragmatic, step-by-step description of assessment and
treatment techniques that employ an integrative, holistic
perspective. They begin by establishing the conceptual framework of
integrative body-mind-spirit social work, then expertly describe,
step-by-step, assessment and treatment techniques that utilize
integrative and holistic perspectives. Several case studies
demonstrate the approach in action, such as one with breast cancer
patients who participated in body-mind-spirit and social support
groups and another in which trauma survivors used meditation to get
onto a path of healing. These examples provide solidempirical
evidence that integrative body-mind-spirit social work is indeed a
practical therapeutic approach in bringing about tangible changes
in clients. The authors also discuss ethical issues and give tips
for learning integrative body-mind-spirit social work.
Professionals in social work, psychology, counseling, and nursing,
as well as graduate students in courses on integral, alternative,
or complementary clinical practice will find this a much-needed
resource that complements the growing interest in alternatives to
traditional Western psychotherapy.
