Bicultural Resynthesis: Tailoring an Effectiveness Trial for a Group of Urban American Indian Women.
Napholz, Linda
American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research, v9 n3 p49-70 2000
A phenomenological study examined experiences of eight urban American Indian women participating in a 6-week intervention aimed at reclaiming and adapting Native women's traditional roles as part of bicultural resynthesis. Psychoeducational methods were used to uncover past ethnic shame, facilitate a return to American Indian pride and identity, and encourage a resynthesis of bicultural identity.
