The paradigm for indigenous healing has been steadily overcoming the decades-long epistemic injustice. This study uses narrative synthesis to describe the possibilities of indigenous healing in a clinical social work setting. The study also offers a framework for integrating the indigenous spiritual healing paradigm with the social work science paradigm.
Learning Objectives:
1. To understand the conceptual basis of indigenous spiritual healing paradigms and pathways for applying them to clinical social work practice.
2. To identify significant themes and ideas on integrating indigenous healing modalities into clinical social work settings.
3. To outline the paradigm and embrace indigenous healing and social work science.
