Ancient shamanism, medieval healery, modern psychotherapy

In 1980, the leadership of a therapist totaled more than two hundred and fifty directions in the field of psychiatricity.
There is once psychiatrists, psychologists and psychiatric social workers were the only suppliers and organizers of the feast of the ego and soul. Over the past two decades, however, healers by mail, sellers of encyclopedias, an entire army of inextricable and odious adventurers who claim a similar position have invaded the field of psychotherapy.
The healers of the Navajo tribe organized and demanded the recognition of the authority of reimbursement of expenses by a third party, behind the ocean of the Mgang Association, uniting native therapists of Tanzania, totals thirty thousand current members, and the World Health Organization officially recommends using all available resources for support and development to support and develop traditional medicine.

What to do with this chaotic melange from psychotherapy and psychotherapists? What does the psychotherapist do? Is his activity effective? Due to what does its activity gives effective results? What appeal can he do his work more effective? What is the impact of his personality? How to choose it? What types of preparation do he need to go through? What should be his role in society? In what relations can it be considered a product of its culture?
In this book, an attempt is made to give the reader a certain scheme that facilitates the understanding of this. Part I demonstrates that the four main components always underlie psychotherapy of any type: the separated general view of the world, the personal qualities of the therapist, the expectation of the client, and the emerging sense of control or domination. Therapists around the world use these fundamental components and enhance them with specific therapeutic techniques. Part II explores the activities of psychotherapists belonging to various cultures, and shows that psychiatrists and shamans, healers and Mgangi make surprisingly similar things. Part III further draws conclusions from this analysis and goes into the practical plane of questions about who should be engaged in psychotherapy, how it should be paid, and what protection should be provided to customers.
