Richard Katz || Honoring the Wisdom of Indigenous Peoples

Today it’s an honor to have Richard Katz on the podcast. Dr. Katz received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and taught there for twenty years. The author of several books, he has spent time over the past 50 years living and working with Indigenous peoples in Africa, India, the Pacific, and the Americas. He is professor emeritus at the First Nations University of Canada and an adjunct professor of psychology at the University of Saskatchewan. He lives in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. His latest book is Indigenous Healing Psychology: Honoring the Wisdom of the First Peoples. Author royalties will be given back to the Indigenous elders whose teachings made the book possible.

In this episode we discuss:

How being an outsider allows you to see the limitations of the world you are living in
Richard’s friendship with Abraham Maslow
Setting the record straight: The real influence of the Blackfeet Nation on Maslow’s theory of self-actualization
How modern day psychology has oppressed the verbal-experimental paradigm
The limitations of modern measurement
The tension between the scientific method and the narrative approach to psychology
Are all modes of the scientific process valid?
How indigenous people are misunderstood, under-respected, and under-appreciated
What the field of psychology could be if it incorporated indigenous ways of being
