Trauma-Informed Counseling for Indigenous Communities
Duran draws on his own clinical experience to provide guidance to counselors working with Native Peoples and other vulnerable populations. This second edition includes a new chapter devoted to working with veterans. Duran also updates his thinking on research, including suggestions on how to invent a new liberation research methodology through applied story science. Translating theory into day-to-day practice, the text presents case materials that illustrate effective intervention strategies for prevalent problems, including substance abuse, intergenerational trauma, and internalized oppression. This unique resource explores theoretical Indigenous understanding of cosmology and how understanding natural law can lead us to new ways of understanding and healing the psyche.
