"As the world enters a global era of contact and interdependency,
it is essential that non-Western approaches to healing be given
increased understanding, appreciation, and respect, for within
these traditional approaches are profound and effective insights
and techniques for healing the human mind. ... Roy Moodley and
William West′s edited volume, Integrating Traditional Healing
Practices Into Counseling and Psychotherapy, not only reminds us of
this but also provides a substantive platform for changing
directions in psychotherapy and counseling education, research, and
practice in accord with the new demands and responsibilities of a
global era. ... Integrating Traditional Healing Practices Into
Counseling and Psychotherapy, packed with 27 chapters on varied
therapies used throughout the world, has the potential to alter the
existing status quo in favor of new, innovative, and liberating
training, research, and practice. ... In my opinion, Moodley and
West′s volume is the best available book-length publication for
anyone seeking current knowledge about traditional and non-Western
practices. ... If you are a student, professor, or practitioner of
the talking cures, buy this book, read it, use it, and experience
the difference it makes in your thoughts and actions."

"Recent years have also seen a flood of books on "cultural
competence" and related issues for clinicians. This one broadens
the field and stakes out its own territory as it includes the
traditional healing practices of groups around the globe, and
even touches on contemporary "alternative" and "integrative"
healing methods. This compendium should be a useful resource for
investigators, practitioners and students dealing with ethnic
minorities as well as isolated populations."
