CHAPTER 2: The Handsome Lake Method.

Chapter 2 of the book "Recovery The Native Way: A Therapist's Manual," by Alf H. Walle is presented. It focuses on the effects of the inequality between the goals that society set to people and the means of achieving of them in socially acceptable manner. It explores the story of Handsome Lake, an emphatic Iroquois leader, as a classic demonstration of how the cultural heritage of people can be subservient in recovery and his distilled model which can be appropriate for therapy.
