“…There is growing evidence that strong identification with indigenous and traditional culture creates a positive cultural identity and act as a positive and protective factor against trauma and its consequences (Richeport-Haley, 1998;Singh, 1999;Sue & Sue, 1999;Yeh, Hunter, Maden-Behel, Chiang, & Arora, 2004). Moodley and West (2005) found that cultures from around the world have produced rich traditions that are associated with mental health healing, including many present-day Christian rituals.…”

This exploratory article reviewed the professional literature related to the construct of multigenerational trauma and the importance of cultural identity and practices as healing and protective/resilience factors against such trauma. It also posited that the Irish and the Oglala Lakota (Sioux) of the North American Northern Plains have commonalities; one commonality perhaps being multigenerational trauma (also called historical loss, transgenerational trauma/shame). Emerging evidence about treatment of multiagenerational trauma with the Lakota through implementing their cultural practices and cultural renewal in rural settings are also discussed. Finally, this investigation describes results from a focus group experience with 12 Irish counselors from rural Southeastern Ireland that explored resiliency related to multigenerational trauma using genograms to describe and compare traumatic and resiliency patterns. {Note: This exploratory approach does not include Irish Diaspora (e.g., Irish-Americans, Irish-Australians, and Irish-Canadians)}. It is hoped that based on the results of this approach, further investigations can occur with these populations.

“…Folk medicine such as sulphur baths are clearly linked to the volcanic nature of some Caribbean islands (Laguerre, 1987;Littlewood, 1988;Mahabir and Gulliford, 1997;Moss and McDowell, 2005). Magical/spiritual/religious medicine is used to heal both physical and mental illness (Jorge, 1995;Laguerre, 1987;Littlewood, 1988;Marshall, 2005;Moodley, 2005;Paulino, 1995;Richeport-Haley, 1998). The origins on these faith-based methods reflect the diversity of origins of the Caribbean including Christian healing, Espiritismo and types of Voodoo.…”

AbstractPurpose -This paper aims to describe Caribbean traditional medicine and to consider whether and how it could be integrated into health systems in Canada.Design/methodology/approach -This paper employs a literature review and synthesis.Findings -Caribbean traditional healing takes a variety of forms reflecting the diversity of histories of the people of the Caribbean. A number of arguments including quality, equity, cost, and social climate will be important factors in facilitating or hindering the expansion of these complementary therapies. However, linking an expansion of therapies to other policy imperatives such as developing stronger communities and expansion of trade may make success more likely.Research limitations/implications -This is a narrative and document review. It is an argument which aims to produce discussion rather than empirical research.Practical implications -Taking a discursive narrative approach to difficult policy issues may help in considering strategies for promoting change.Originality/value -This is the first study which has attempted to consider traditional Caribbean medicine in the Canadian context. It is also the first to consider the strategies for convincing health systems to adopt this form of complementary medicine.

Because of the dramatic increases of culturally diverse individuals in the United States, indigenous perspectives of healing must be understood in the context of interdependent cultural selves. The authors present an extensive review of the literature with a focus on understanding the role of spirituality, balancing energies, close social networks, and interconnectedness in indigenous healing perspectives and philosophies. Examples of indigenous healing approaches are presented, and implications for counseling and research are discussed.
