Omschrijving
"An autobiographical account of how a psychiatric nurse specialist became a folk medicine healer; this also explains the origins and practice of one of the oldest forms of medicine in the New World.″--Kirkus Praise for WOMAN WHO GLOWS IN THE DARK "This is a book that we've been awaiting for years--one that unites the best medicine from the ancient past with the deepest needs of the contemporary heart and soul."--Clarissa Pinkola Estés, Ph.D., author of Women Who Run with the Wolves, The Gift of Story, and Faithful Gardener "Elena Avila's book is a combination manual, memoir, and healing chant. I'm so glad these stories and secrets - which have been known orally by our culture for ages - are finally down on paper." --Julia Alvarez, author of How the García Girls Lost Their Accents "Avila shatters myths about curanderismo and reminds us that it's just as important today as it was centuries ago."--The Austin Chronicle "In this age of impersonal and technologic health care, Elena Avila's book gives the reader permission to rely on what has all too often been forgotten. Her message--that healing cannot occur without the heart, instincts, wisdom, and compassion of the healer--is given with grace and simplicity."--Barbara Dossey, R.N., M.S., HNC, FAAN, Director, Holistic Nursing Associates "Truthful, often painful, always riveting, WOMAN WHO GLOWS IN THE DARK reveals how the practices of curanderismo can heal the soul sickness not addressed by Western medicine."--Rudolfo Anaya, author of Bless Me, Ultima
"Grounded in the earth, at home in both modern and indigenous medicine, Elena Avila is a true emissary of healing, casting a brilliant glow into the dark of all medicine that denies the soul. As a human, I cherish Elena's light. As a psychiatrist, I welcome her insight."--Judith Orloff, M.D., author of Second Sight and The Genius of Empathy "Avila is entertaining and often humorous...Without climbing on a soapbox, [her] narrative demonstrates what's missing from most American medical practices, and how many patients could be helped so much more than they are now."--Kirkus Reviews
