Event Information

For this month's meeting we will consider the distinction made in the attached article between “culture-centered” and “cultural sensitivity” approaches to mental health services. With this distinction in mind, Professor Donna Nagata (seminar faculty co-sponsor) will briefly reflect on the phenomenon of “integrative medicine” (i.e., the combination of conventional western health practices with complementary and alternative medicine) before Professor Joe Gone (seminar faculty co-sponsor) describes a new research project with an American Indian reservation community that casts these issues in sharp relief.
