Jilya : how one Indigenous woman from the remote Pilbara transformed psychology
Westerman, Tracy2024
Book
In this memoir, Tracy draws on client stories of trauma, heartbreak, hope and connection from her years of practice, offering a reflection on how the monocultural, one-size-fits-all approach to psychology is failing Aboriginal people and how she's healing those wounds. Jilya is a story of drive and determination, of what it takes to create change when the odds are stacked against you. Above all, it is a story of one woman's love for her people.
