Book excerpt: Follow the professional journey of a Native American counselor, who, although educated in mainstream American universities, found herself, once on the job, lacking in skills necessary to be therapeutic for her cultural clients. "Counseling Native Americans: Spiritual and Multicultural Insights from Swan Circle," provides authentic observations of how American Indian clients relate to the natural, social, personal, and spiritual environments. The book is a significant contribution to the large literature on cross-cultural therapy. ?Dr. Catherine Reimer?s search for cross-cultural understandings and techniques is a fascinating read. Insights on how to integrate nature and spirituality should be especially helpful to counselors, psychologists, social workers, psychiatrists, and related professionals who may sometimes feel that they are being educated in a ?spirit free? zone.? Clemmont E. Vontress, Ph.D. Professor Emeritus of Counseling, George Washington University. ?Wonderfully organized and thoughtfully constructed, this comprehensive engaging book will be a major source for understanding the complexities associated with providing mental health services for counseling American Indians and Alaska Natives for years to come.? Readers are asked ?to think deeply about the realities of the indigenous groups that people write about and how mental health services and research can be effectively and sensitively provided and conducted. Anyone who is curious about the depth and scope of providing counseling services to indigenous populations should keep this book close by, as it will prove to be a valuable resource.? Joseph E. Trimble, Ph.D., Distinguished University Professor, Professor of Psychology, Western Washington University. Foreword by Martha Norman Rashid, Professor Emerita, George Washington, University and Jane A. Simington, Ph.D. Originally published in 2013 as The Circle of Swans: Journey of a Native American Counselor.

Book excerpt: American Indians and Alaska Natives have consistently experienced disparities in access to healthcare services, funding, and resources; quality and quantity of services; treatment outcomes; and health education and prevention services. Availability, accessibility, and acceptability of behavioral health services are major barriers to recovery for American Indians and Alaska Natives. Common factors that infuence engagement and participation in services include availability of transportation and child care, treatment infrastructure, level of social support, perceived provider effectiveness, cultural responsiveness of services, treatment settings, geographic locations, and tribal affliations.

This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book examines the physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that support or undermine healthy development in American Indian children, including economics, biology, and public policies. The reasons for mental health issues among American Indian and Alaska Native children have not been well understood by investigators outside of tribal communities. Developing appropriate methodological approaches and evidence-based programs for helping these youths is an urgent priority in developmental science. This work must be done in ways that are cognizant of how the negative consequences of colonization contribute to American Indian and Alaska Native tribal members' underutilization of mental health services, higher therapy dropout rates, and poor response to culturally insensitive treatment programs. This book examines the forces affecting psychological development and mental health in American Indian children today. Experts from leading universities discuss factors such as family conditions, economic status, and academic achievement, as well as political, social, national, and global influences, including racism. Specific attention is paid to topics such as the role of community in youth mental health issues, depression in American Indian parents, substance abuse and alcohol dependency, and the unique socioeconomic characteristics of this ethnic group.

This book was released on 2012-03-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of national, state, and institutional initiatives to increase access to higher education, the college pipeline for American Indian and Alaska Native students remains largely unaddressed. As a result, little is known and even less is understood about the critical isues, conditions, and postsecondary transitions of this diverse group of students. Framed around the concept of tribal nation building, this monograph reviews the research on higher education for Indigenous peoples in the United States. It offers an analysis of what is currently known about postsecondary education among Indigenous students, Native communities, and tribal nations. Also offered is an overview of the concept of tribal nation building, with the suggestion that future research, policy, and practice center the ideas of nation building, sovereignty, Indigenous knowledge systems, and culturally responsive schooling.

After presenting the social and psychological factors that have contributed to Native American addictions and the patterns of behavior and circumstances associated with this complex and widespread problem, French discusses the treatment, intervention, and prevention issues facing therapists. He also explores the development and consequences of a new form of addiction, compulsive gambling, focusing on its relationship to substance abuse. A major contribution of this volume is its review and critique of regulatory acts documenting federal policy.

Book excerpt: "Mental Health Care for Urban Indians: Clinical Insights From Native Practitioners is the first clinical book written by American Indian scholars working in Indian communities. This groundbreaking volume provides the reader with a basic understanding of the historical impact of colonization, the ensuing results of urban migration and boarding schools, and the effects that these events have had on the Native community. These lingering effects include a lack of cultural identity, a loss of tradition, and a sense of isolation that may lead to violence, alcoholism, and risky behaviors. Chapter authors acknowledge this history while developing culturally sensitive practice recommendations that incorporate traditional healing methods. This will be an invaluable resource for psychologists and other helping professionals who work with Native clients"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of Indigenous identity has gained more attention in recent years from social science scholars, yet much of the discussions still centre on the politics of belonging or not belonging. While these recent discussions in part speak to the complicated and contested nature of Indigeneity, both those who claim Indigenous identity and those who write about it seem to fall into a paradox of acknowledging its complexity on the one hand, while on the other hand reifying notions of ‘tradition’ and ‘authentic cultural expression’ as core features of an Indigenous identity. Since identity theorists generally agree that who we understand ourselves to be is as much a function of the time and place in which we live as it is about who we and others say we are, this scholarship does not progress our knowledge on the contemporary characteristics of Indigenous identity formations. The range of international scholars in this volume have begun an approach to the contemporary identity issues from very different perspectives, although collectively they all push the boundaries of the scholarship that relate to identities of Indigenous people in various contexts from around the world. Their essays provide at times provocative insights as the authors write about their own experiences and as they seek to answer the hard questions: Are emergent identities newly constructed identities that emerge as a function of historical moments, places, and social forces? If so, what is it that helps to forge these identities and what helps them to retain markers of Indigeneity? And what are some of the challenges (both from outside and within groups) that Indigenous individuals face as they negotiate the line between ‘authentic’ cultural expression and emergent identities? Is there anything to be learned from the ways in which these identities are performed throughout the world among Indigenous groups? Indeed why do we assume claims to multiple racial or ethnic identities limits one’s Indigenous identity? The question at the heart of our enquiry about the emerging Indigenous identities is when is it the right time to say me, us, we… them?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In With the Wind and the Waves, psychologist Ray M. Droby tells a story of treatment and learning, drawing on experiences ranging from an ocean journey he took on the Bering Sea while serving in a Alaska Native community to his clinical work as a psychologist in rural Alaska. Like negotiating an ocean, Droby moves “with the wind and the waves” while working with substance abuse disorders and mental health issues superimposed on intergenerational trauma and internalized oppression. He captures positive momentum in work aimed at facilitating self-determination with Alaska Natives and their communities while discouraging historical dependency and colonizing patterns of thinking and doing for mental health workers. Sensitive to the history of non-Native outsiders imposing their own culture on Native land, Droby presents here principles, combined with cultural and therapy considerations, that are designed to help people avoid replicating this history of harm. Recognizing the strengths of Alaska Natives and their communities, and the stages of change human individuals and communities undergo, Droby shows how to exercise a nonjudgmental presence as a mental health worker in rural Alaska.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the competencies of knowledge, skill and awareness perceived by mental health clinicians as essential in providing mental health services to Native Americans, Alaskan Natives and First Nations. This study considers previous qualitative findings related to 3 macro-competencies, (1) knowledge, (2) skills and (3) awareness, and 16 micro-competencies which were found significant in serving this unique population. 70 Native American and non-Native American mental health clinicians responded quantitatively and qualitatively to a 51 question survey. The survey focused on the clinicians' perceptions related to issues including cultural, historical, contemporary, healing, and counseling skills which impact the effectiveness of culturally sensitive mental health services. The survey questions were subjected to reliability assessment, and a multivariate (MANOVA), univariate, post hoc and correlation analyses were performed to examine the differences of perceptions between ethnic and mainstream clinicians. Although no significant differences resulted related to the ethnicity of the clinicians at the macro level, some groups were found to differ related to their perception of the importance of specific micro-competencies. All groups supported the importance of the 3 macro-competencies and the 16 micro-competencies investigated in the survey. Additionally, the qualitative responses offer a wealth of rich information related to experiential insights into serving this unique population and further supports the efficacy of the macro- and micro-competencies upon which this study was focused.
