Finding a relationship between these theories could offer a valuable method concerning the developing conflicts that occur in the early stages of life, which is the origin of society’s current dysfunctions and disorders. Therefore, this might be of importance to everyone that could be interested in the future of psychology, as well as the shamans of indigenous cultures, that were and still are the community’s psychologists, in today’s spiritual awakening, uniting the body’s, mind’s and spirit’s healing.

The psychologist and shaman, consider the symptoms regarding the whole identity within the specific context and circumstances. Nevertheless, inspire of their differences, both seek healing of the communities’ suffering.
