title: Healing circles: an ethnographic study of the interactions among health and healing practitioners from multiple disciplines.
abstract: "Healing circle" is a term that has been employed by a group of Northern California integrative medicine researchers as we embarked on an 8-year ethnographic study. As a clinical medical anthropologist and registered nurse specializing in integrative practice and behavioral health, I undertook this study with colleagues from various health disciplines.
