Book summary


Author Carl A. Hammerschlag once described himself as medical purist, but after working with Native Americans, he began to see the value in healing ceremonies and rituals. This Yale-educated physician's work with Native American patients in the Southwest taught him to reconsider his education, and start implementing traditional Native American healing into his medical practice. The author describes how he learned that the mindset and attitudes of Native American healing aid in recovery, and how he was able to bring his own Jewish spirituality into the process and become a dancing healer himself.
