520 |a Belize, a ‘Caribbean nation in Central America,’ became independent in 1981, though the Maya presence dates back thousands of years. This article examines the integration of traditional and contemporary healing practices in the Belize of modernity by focusing upon several illustrative examples from the Maya and from the Garifuna, an afro-indigenous group in Belize. A focus on allopathic approaches to psychological disorders in Belize further highlights issues regarding traditional and contemporary healing modalities. While often the traditional and modern systems work in isolation from each other, in parallel, thoughtful integration of healing modalities and mutual respect among practitioners offers substantial benefits.
