{"product_id":"dancing-healers","title":"DANCING HEALERS","description":"This fascinating account of a Yale-trained psychiatrist's twenty-year experience with Native American healing interweaves autobiography with stories of the Native Americans who challenged his medical school assumptions about their methods.\nWhile working as a family physicans in a Native American hospital in the Southwest, Carl Hammerschlag was introduced to a patient named Santiago, a Pueblo priest and clan chief, who asked him where he had learned how to heal. Hammerschlag responded almost by rote, rattling off his medical education, intership, and certification.\nThe old man replied,\"Do you know how to dance?\"\nTo humor Santiago, Hammerschlag shuffled his feet at the priest's bedside. Despite his condition, Santiago got up and demonstrated the proper steps. \"You must be able to dance if you are to heal people,\"he admonished the young doctor.\"I can teach you my steps, but you will have to hear your own music.\"\nHammerschlag synthesizes his Jewish heritage with his experience with Native Americans to produce a practice open to all methods of healing. He discovers the wisdom of the Pueblo priest's question to his Western doctor, \"Do you know how to dance?\"\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0062503952\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: 31UIGP005IHT_ns\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Hammerschlag, Carl\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
