Revenge of the Windigo: The Construction of the Mind and Mental Health of North American Aboriginal Peoples - Waldram, James B

Clean, tight, unmarked; slight wear to inside corners; otherwise spine straight and uncreased; absolute minimal wear; appears unread; James B. Waldram has crafted a superb essay on the uses and abuses of culture in psychiatry, psychology, and anthropology. In this lively and original book, Waldram shows how generations of scholars and researchers have constructed misleading notions of the Aboriginal person. His work ahs important implications not only for Aboriginal peoples, but for the whole field of medical anthropology, as well as cultural psychiatry and psychology. Beyond this, Waldram's trenchant critique will be immensely valuable for anyone approaching the broad question of the place of culture in mental health theory and practice.
