As Caribbean communities become more international, clinicians and scholars must develop new paradigms for understanding treatment preferences and perceptions of illness. Caribbean Healing Traditions: Implications for Health and Mental Health fills this gap. Drawing on the knowledge of prominent clinicians, scholars, and researchers of the Caribbean and the diaspora, these healing traditions are explored in the context of health and mental health for the first time.
Key Features
- Culturally appropriate care: Addresses the need for integrating traditional healing practices into health care systems.
- Expert insights: Contributions from prominent clinicians, scholars, and researchers in the Caribbean and diaspora.
- Comprehensive resource: Suitable for students, researchers, faculty, and practitioners across various fields.
Additional Information
Despite evidence supporting culturally appropriate care, it is unclear how such integration would function since little is known about the therapeutic interventions of Caribbean healing traditions.
