North America's Indigenous population is a vulnerable group, with
specific psychological and healing needs that are not widely met in
the mental health care system. Indigenous peoples face certain
historical, cultural-linguistic and socioeconomic barriers to
mental health care access that government, health care
organizations and social agencies must work to overcome. This
volume examines ways Indigenous healing practices can complement
Western psychological service to meet the needs of Indigenous
peoples through traditional cultural concepts. Bringing together
leading experts in the fields of Aboriginal mental health and
psychology, it provides data and models of Indigenous cultural
practices in psychology that are successful with Indigenous
peoples. It considers Indigenous epistemologies in applied
psychology and research methodology, and informs government policy
on mental health service for these populations.
