O knihe

Following cultural anthropological inquiry, this book examines the adoption of shamanic healing practices into Western medicine and the resultant hybrid modality of health care fostered by two disparate healing traditions. The author examines the contrasting concepts of shamanism, purportedly the oldest form of human healing, and those of western medicine borne out of the Scientific Revolution. Based on surveys, interviews, and ethnographic research focused on western-trained health care practitioners who have also studied shamanic healing, the author provides numerous examples and analysis of the practice of shamanic healing techniques in medical clinics, health care centers, and hospitals in the United States. Through the lens of individual experiences, the author offers insight into an emerging hybrid healing modality embedded in cultural contrasts that also serves as a catalyst for the renegotiation of the meaning of healing.
