aboriginal life


Am trying to make  a link between understanding more about indigenous culture and the growth of psychological therapies based on eastern traditions, whilst wanting to record the two day weekend workshop I attended on Interpersonal Psycotherapy. It was an excellent workshop, skillfully delivered by Prof Sue Luty from the University of Otago, New Zealand; who in the alloted time covered the key components of the therapy and manged to run through a significant number of clinical cases to make it come alive.
I am looking forward to putting it into practice-after first completing my own personal inventory...
It is not easy to make the paradigm leap from the western way of thinking and doing to appreciate the traditional cosmologies but we must do so in order to better understand what was once there and what has been lost.
