Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies

In Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies, indigenous author Renee Linklater explores healing and wellness in the Indigenous communities on Turtle Island. Drawing on a decolonizing approach, which puts the “soul wound” of colonialism at the center, Linklater engages ten Indigenous health care practitioners in a dialogue regarding Indigenous notions of wellness and wholistic health, critiques of psychiatry and psychiatric diagnoses, and Indigenous approaches to helping people through trauma, depression, and experiences of parallel and multiple realities. Through stories and strategies that are grounded in Indigenous worldviews and embedded with cultural knowledge, Linklater offers purposeful and practical methods to help individuals and communities that have experienced trauma. Decolonizing Trauma Work: Indigenous Stories and Strategies, one of the first books of its kind, is a resource for education and training programs, health care practitioners, healing centers, clinical services and policy initiatives. This text is masterfully read by indigenous narrator, Tanis Parenteau. ©2014 Renee Linklater.
