Abstract

Sequential network therapy, as a treatment approach to alcoholism , has the potential for use by many different ethnic communities because of its grass roots and community organization thrust. Our intent within the Zuni Pueblo was to involve alcohol counselors and more networks from the Pueblo in therapy efforts. We confronted significant obstacles in our work during the six years we were involved. Confronted with the realization that the utility of our framework was perceived quite differently by the Pueblo members, we found ourselves unknowingly violating the boundary issue of spirituality. Fortunate to work in a Pueblo, considered the most traditional and secretive of all the desert and river pueblos, we believe the Zuni counselors learned the basic approach from us, and will adopt it in their own way.
