This proposal is for continuation of a program of ethnographic research aimed at defining the experiential specificity of therapeutic change processes in three forms of religious healing in contemporary Navajo society: Traditional Navajo, Native American Church, and Navajo Christian. The methodological perspective is that of cultural anthropology, and is based on a qualitative, interpretive research paradigm. Five studies are proposed for the next phase of the research. The first is an extension of the ethnography of therapeutic practice carried out through interviews with 95 Navajo healers that will elaborate critical themes identified to date through followup interviews and observation of healing events with selected healers in each religious form. These themes include the repertoire of therapeutic procedures, the principles of efficacy attributed to them by participants, the underlying ethnopsychology of person, self, thought, emotion, suffering, and transformation, the rhetorical resources in terms of which illness and healing are conceptualized and performed, and the perceived compatibility among the three forms of Navajo religious healing. The second study is an extension of the ethnography of therapeutic process carried out through interviews and observation of 86 Navajo patients. The study will add a longitudinal perspective on the subsequent healing careers and life trajectories of these patients, and is centered on a four part model of therapeutic process including a) disposition of participants; b) experience of the sacred; c) elaboration of alternatives; and d) actualization of change. It will supplement narrative case studies of patients prepared in the initial project period, as well as strengthen our conclusions about the extent to which community healing resources address intransigent mental health problems that have proven unresolvable by conventional psychiatric and social service interventions, especially those associated with depression and alcohol/substance abuse. The final series of three interrelated studies will examine the relation between language and experience in Navajo healing based on analysis of already collected data that go beyond the specific aims and analyses proposed and carried out in the initial funding period. These include a study of the relation between the language of experience in interviews conducted in Navajo and those conducted in English, a study of narrative structure, performance, and experiential content in the large body of stories extracted from interviews, and a methodological study of interviewing as a social and linguistic process based on comparison of ethnographic and diagnostic interviews conducted with Navajo patients.

该建议是为了延续人种学计划 旨在定义的经验特异性的研究 治疗变化过程以三种形式的宗教康复形式 在当代纳瓦霍协会：传统的纳瓦霍人，本地人 美国教堂和纳瓦霍·克里斯蒂安（Navajo Christian）。 方法论 观点是文化人类学的观点，是基于 定性，解释性研究范式。 五项研究是 提出了下一阶段研究的建议。 第一个是 进行治疗实践的民族志扩展 通过对95位纳瓦霍治疗师的采访 通过后续采访确定的关键主题 并观察每位选定的治疗师的治疗事件 宗教形式。 这些主题包括 治疗程序，效力原理归因于 他们是由参与者，人类的基本民族心理学， 自我，思想，情感，痛苦和转变， 关于哪种疾病和康复的修辞资源 概念化和执行，以及感知到的兼容性 在纳瓦霍宗教康复的三种形式中。 第二个 研究是治疗过程民族志的扩展 通过访谈和观察86个纳瓦霍人进行 患者。 这项研究将增加有关该研究的纵向观点 随后的治疗职业和生活轨迹 患者，以四部分的治疗模型为中心 过程包括a）参与者的处置； b）经验 神圣的c）详细说明替代方案；和D） 变化的实现。 它将补充叙事案例 对最初项目期间准备的患者的研究， 并加强我们在多大程度上得出的结论 社区康复资源解决固定的心理健康 常规的问题证明无法解决的问题 精神病和社会服务干预措施，尤其是那些 与抑郁症和酒精/药物滥用有关。 这 最后一系列相互关联的研究将研究 语言与基于纳瓦霍治疗的经验之间的关系 关于已经收集到的数据超出特定的数据的分析 目的和分析在初始资金中提出并进行 时期。 这些包括研究 在纳瓦霍（Navajo）和 那些用英语进行的，一项叙事结构的研究， 性能和大体内的经验含量 从访谈中提取的故事，以及一项方法论研究 采访基于社会和语言过程 进行民族志和诊断访谈的比较 与纳瓦霍患者。
