"I Have to Go Home Now" presents an empirical account of cross-cultural social work with First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples in Quebec, Canada. Ms. Garwood narrates a personal journey that casts light on the conflictual nature of intervention by non-Native systems in the lives of Aboriginal peoples. The material describes the clinical realities of Aboriginal experience, promoting understanding of Aboriginal issues and supporting important discussions on treatment and policy-making. A therapeutic healing bush-camp for male Aboriginal ex-offenders serves as the background to the discussions that emerge from the text.
