Reality and Dream: Psychotherapy of a Plains Indian | 
so-soAn entire psychotherapy session, published in 1951, between George Devereux (founding father of ethnopsychiatry) and Jimmy Picard, a Blackfoot Indian. Meeting Picard, a WWII veteran, at Winters VA Hospital in Topeka, Kansas, and using his dreaming as a tool for inner exploration, Devereux is a proponent of the full incorporation, in psychoanalytic practice, of a patient's cultural background, if one's goal is to return "the patient to himself."
