Title: Chapter 13 Question 14

14) How would taking an African American-centered approach help a client?

Feedback:Many of the healers in African American culture are representatives of organized religion, ordained ministers, and clerics. They play an important role in the community and they have a high status. Because of the historic unavailability of health care for African American in the United States, folk healers continue to be the preferred, most reliable and effective healers in some African American communities. A narrative approach can help honor and integrate these practices and beliefs into social work practice. Such integration can help clients address their presenting problems holistically and avoiding compartmentalizing different aspects of their life.

Title: Chapter 13 Question 15

15) What role do healers play in the Latinx community? Define curanderos/as, herbolarios/as, parteras and promotoras.

Feedback:Healers in the Latinx community: in Latino-centered agencies paraprofessionals may include promotoras (health educators), curanderos/as (healers), parteras (midwives). Agencies employ promotoras to do home visits primarily for carrying out prevention interventions; these interventions with promotoras have improved the health outcome of families. Curanderismo is a form of natural and practical medicine that works well with the Mexican American population as well as other Latinx groups. These healers perform curative rituals and often have more authority and power than mental health professionals do. Parteras also play an important role in the Latinx community. Conducting home visits to pregnant women increases the use of preventive services by the patients and encourages healthier behaviors. Herbolarios and herbolarias identify, categorize and recommend the use of herbs according to their medical properties and symptoms. They look at client’s patterns of food intake in order to address ailments.

16) Traditional Chinese medicine follows the ancient Taoist idea of unity of the opposites of yin and yang. What is the ying and yang?

Feedback:Good health emerges from the balance of the yin and yang of the body, mind, and spirit, while disease emerges in the absence of balance. Through a combination of methods such as the use of herbs, acupuncture, corrective posture techniques, and exercise, the individual achieves or restores the balance of yin and yang.
