Woman as Healer by Jeanne Achterberg
This groundbreaking work examines the role of women in the Western healing traditions. Drawing on the disciplines of history, anthropology, botany, archaeology, and the behavioral sciences, Jeanne Achterberg discusses the ancient cultures in which women worked as independent and honored healers; the persecution of women healers in the witch hunts of the Middle Ages; the development of midwifery and nursing as women's professions in the nineteenth century; and the current role of women and the state of the healing arts, as a time of crisis in the health-care professions coincides with the reemergence of feminine values.Jeanne Achterberg, PhD, was a professor of psychology at the Institute of Transpersonal Psychology (now Sofia University) and an associate professor and director of rehabilitation science research at Southwestern Medical School in Dallas from 1942 to 2012.
