Using a traditional Yakama tale as a motif, "Coyote's Swing" combines the author's firsthand experiences as a consulting psychologist with rare history and sociocultural critique, revealing how the U.S. mental health system reframes Native American reactions to oppression and marginalization into "mental disorders" and "mental illness," and how the Indian Health Service's contemporary practices echo historical injustices.
