Eduardo Duran, PhD, is a Vietnam Veteran who started his academic training after being discharged from the US Navy. He has worked in Indigenous communities most of his professional life. Clinical work in communities has informed his theoretical and clinical approaches to psychotherapy. His work is informed by traditional teachings from Indigenous elders that continues to unfold into an ongoing hybrid model to address individual and collective soul wounding.
Early on he was providing community psychological interventions when an Indigenous Woman Elder approached him and told him that he needed to write and publish what she heard him speak about. That meeting with the Elder has resulted in several books including: Native American Post Colonial Psychology, Healing the Soul Wound, Buddha in Redface and Quantum Coyote Dreams the Black World. The unfolding themes in these writings are an integration of traditional Indigenous and Western cosmology as these interface with the shape shifting of consciousness in our present Zeitgeist.
Eduardo lives in Bozeman Montana.
