In Transgenerational Colonialism, Karel James Bouse offers an
alternative and holistic model for the analysis of colonialism and
its effects on humanity. Using the current anti-colonialist
struggle in Northern Ireland as a representative case study, Bouse
illustrates her theoretical model by tracing the onset of trauma to
the eventual overcoming period, evidenced by a cultural
renaissance, a reconstruction of collective positive identity, and
political self-determination. This book is recommended for students
and scholars of psychology, history, political science, and
cultural studies, as well as those interested in the cyclical
nature of colonial experience.
This book explores the contemporary practice of Neo-shamanism and
its relationship to mental health. Chapters cover the practice of
Neo-shamanism, how it differs from traditional shamanism, the
technology of the shamanic journey, the lifeworlds of some of its
practitioners, as well as its benefits and pitfalls. The author's
analysis draws on an in-depth study of existing literature,
original qualitative-phenomenological research into the lifeworlds
of practitioners, and nearly three decades of observation and
experience as a student, teacher and practitioner of Neo-shamanism.
She discusses the potential role of Neo-shamanic journey technology
as an approach for psychology-based studies of consciousness and
anomalous phenomena; its value as a tool for self-exploration as
part of a supervised curriculum; as well as the possible
therapeutic applications of the journey and shamanic healing
protocols for use by mental health professionals. This book is a
rich and timely resource for students and teachers of psychology,
anthropology and sociology, psychotherapists, and anyone who is
interested in consciousness and parapsychology.
