Unlocking Indigenous Wisdom's Impact on Modern Medicine
Lewis Mehl-Madrona, MD, PhD, graduated from Stanford University School of Medicine and trained in family medicine, psychiatry, and clinical psychology. His academic affiliations extend across various medical schools, including a tenure as Associate Professor of Family Medicine at the University of New England. An advocate for integrating Indigenous wisdom into contemporary healthcare, Dr. Mehl-Madrona actively collaborates with Aboriginal communities to cultivate unique healing styles. His principal focus lies in Cherokee and Lakota traditions, but his explorations span across other Plains Cultures and those of Northeastern North America.
Dr. Mehl-Madrona’s prolific writings, which include Coyote Medicine, Coyote Healing, and Coyote Wisdom, highlight the gifts of Native culture to the modern world. He co-authored Remapping Your Mind: The Neuroscience of Self-Transformation Through Story with Barbara Mainguy, expanding on his innovative approach to narrative psychiatry. His current research interests encompass non-pharmacological treatments for psychosis, narrative strategies for chronic pain, and the development of healing paradigms within a narrative and Indigenous framework.
