Review

"If you are a student, professor, or practitioner of the ′talking cures′ – buy this book, read it, use it, and experience the difference it makes in your thoughts and actions."             Author: Anthony J.

"As the world enters a global era of contact and interdependency, it is essential that non-Western approaches to healing be given increased understanding, appreciation, and respect, for within these traditional approaches are profound and effective insights and techniques for healing the human mind. ... Roy Moodley and William West′s edited volume, Integrating Traditional Healing Practices Into Counseling and Psychotherapy, not only reminds us of this but also provides a substantive platform for changing directions in psychotherapy and counseling education, research, and practice in accord with the new demands and responsibilities of a global era. ... Integrating Traditional Healing Practices Into Counseling and Psychotherapy, packed with 27 chapters on varied therapies used throughout the world, has the potential to alter the existing status quo in favor of new, innovative, and liberating training, research, and practice. ... In my opinion, Moodley and West′s volume is the best available book-length publication for anyone seeking current knowledge about traditional and non-Western practices. ... If you are a student, professor, or practitioner of the talking cures, buy this book, read it, use it, and experience the difference it makes in your thoughts and actions." Author: Anthony J.

"Recent years have also seen a flood of books on "cultural competence" and related issues for clinicians. This one broadens the field and stakes out its own territory as it includes the traditional healing practices of groups around the globe, and even touches on contemporary "alternative" and "integrative" healing methods. This compendium should be a useful resource for investigators, practitioners and students dealing with ethnic minorities as well as isolated populations."
