dc.description.abstractCanadian helping professionals, and academics related to the helping fields, have a long history of operating through a dominant western paradigm. Within the context of responding to generational trauma, there is increasing evidence of a paradigm shift from western mainstream practices to more holistic practices. Recent Canadian developments to address Aboriginal healing have created a new opportunity to explore the workings of both western and holistic paradigms within the context of responding to generational trauma. This study investigates Academic and Aboriginal Leadership viewpoints through two focus group discussions. It addresses a research deficiency in terms of raising awareness about current responses and their effectiveness to generational trauma at the individual, family and community levels. Research into a holistic paradigm that responds to generational trauma is in its infancy. This qualitative study explores and addresses the impact of both western and holistic paradigms, identifying some characteristics of the "paradigm shift". The study further provides insights into the dynamics that occur at the "meeting place" of both paradigms, identifying their deficiencies and benefits. This thesis presentation has both written and film components. The film component was used to create a medium in which the voice of research participants could be heard directly by an audience interested in this field of study.
