Jerome Bernstein’s extensive work with the Navajo and Hopi people has deeply informed his clinical understanding of the Western psyche’s suicidal dissociation from Nature.
In this interview with Bonnie Bright, Mr. Bernstein discusses how this dissociation has led to Global Warming, and he explains how an emerging compensatory “Borderland consciousness” acts as the meeting point between the Dominion psyche of the West and the Reciprocity psyche of Native peoples.
