For the first time, we now have a much-needed overview of such belief systems and practices, which continue to shape the health-related behavior of Caribbeans living either at home or in the diaspora."</p><p>—<strong>Uwe P. Gielen</strong>, PhD, director, Institute for International and Cross-Cultural Psychology, St. Francis College</p><p>"Wonderfully organized and thoughtfully constructed, this formative, comprehensive, engaging book will be a major resource for understanding the complexities of traditional healing practices in the Caribbean basin, especially those associated with mental health.
