One voice medicine : conversations with First Peoples healers, Australia / crafted by Valerie G. Albrecht

"Valerie Albrecht began her career in Western medicine-based Speech Pathology. She went on to spend over a decade in First Peoples' communities, working with, listening to and learning from community accepted healers. One Voice Medicine is wisdom-full conversations with healers in remote communities and towns in Western Australia, Central Australia and New South Wales. Albrecht has crafted the conversations with attention to detail in her transcriptions, with cultural sensitivity, using place names in language and considering First Peoples' cyclical time, whilst cleverly inviting us into stunning landscapes and pertinent academic contexts. One Voice Medicine provides rare insight into why it is vital for practitioners across sectors to embrace First Peoples' healing knowledge."-- Back cover
