I specifically found the experiences relayed in the community-based participatory research conducted jointly by the Diné and Goodkind et al, the historical trauma framework elaborated by Evans-Campbell rooted in the AINA experience, and the concept of ontological security offered by Hawkins & Maurer most impactful and ultimately interrelated as far as the assigned materials for this class. The fundamental themes of collective disruption and destruction ultimately requiring collective healing and recovery in turn are extremely meaningful, particularly as the compounding failures caused by capitalism lobotomizing ecology and sociology into profit-driven individualistic biomedical and psychotherapeutic models become increasingly obvious and unsustainable. The entire notion of physiological or psychological health existing at the individual level independent of the ecological and social health of our communities or planet would be laughable if it wasn't literally destroying lives and the livability of the future itself at an unfathomable pace while masquerading as a moral good adorned in epistemic authority.
Ultimately relatedly, I found the SAMHSA contributions to this week's materials the least impactful due to it being so incredibly conceited as a prohibitionist organization to even pretend to not be actively legitimating and perpetuating the militarized destruction of thousands of lives every single day then offer normative statements on language for practitioners before expecting to be valuable as a conduit for praxis guidance based on anything other than the inherent influence and power wielded by state-sanctioned authority. The inherent ethical assumptions embodied by basic political decision to endorse militarized prohibition is fundamentally disqualifying not necessarily for any specific innovations highlighted but rather for there being any critical value established by the highlight itself other than it meaning the innovation can be coopted as part of the broader framework of counterinsurgency.
Ultimately I have found useful material and learned from this week, both in some cases of entirely new information and in other cases of more useful ways to conceptualize or systematically articulate ideas (a good example of the latter being ontological security).
