Overview
Holistic Healing links together a wide range of progressive theories, research and practices from the exciting field of holistic studies to create an alternative paradigm of healing and social change. This practical and insightful guide offers uniquely comparative and integrated understanding of both ancient and modern Indigenous, Eastern, and Western practices, including traditional healing practices from around the world, meditative practices, bodywork, energy medicine, expressive arts, eco-psychology, transpersonal psychology, Ayurveda, Indigenous well-being, naturopathy, homeopathy, and traditional Chinese medicine.
Over 30 practitioners and scholars from diverse fields of study contribute to our understanding of individual, family, community, national, and global holistic healing in chapters addressing critical issues such as colonization, human rights, the environment, peace and conflict, and equity and inclusion. This collection is a timely and practical resource for post-secondary students of social work, psychology, Indigenous studies, health and nutrition, holistic healing, and sociology and is also a great resource for professional practitioners and those interested in the field of holistic studies.
