HISTORIOGRAPHY OF THE FUTURE
2. Post Colonial Psychology
As Natives and non-Natives work to reconstruct their relationship new models of dialogue will be required. Eduardo Duran and Bonnie Duran (1995) write about what can happen when Native communities accept as legitimate their traditional knowledge even as they function creatively within the larger world. Native American Postcolonial PsychologJJ sheds light on how models of integration can be used to help healers with differing world views bridge gaps of misunderstanding that exist between them. Native American cosmology and metaphor are linked to parallel imagery from modern psychology in order to deal with current problems of social dysfunction.
