Any number of unconventional practitioners can be regarded as psychotherapists, whether or not they are also called curanderos, faith healers, folk healers, medicine men, shamans, spiritists, or witch doctors. All of these individuals purport to alleviate symptoms, change behavior, and improve personal functioning through procedures that are not consistent with currently held scientific models. As a result, these individuals are often called “psychic healers.” (10 pp).
