As an interdisciplinary social scientist,Gone explores the intersection of culture,coloniality,mental health,and well-being among American Indians and other Indigenous Peoples. Undertaken in collaboration with Indigenous communities,his action-research projects have reconsidered community-based mental health services and harnessed traditional culture and spirituality as valuable resources in promoting the well-being of Indigenous populations. He has published more than 100 peer-reviewed articles [2] in leading journals including the American Psychologist , Annual Review of Clinical Psychology ,Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology,American Journal of Public Health and Transcultural Psychiatry.

Joseph P. Gone's research has significantly advanced the field of cultural-clinical psychology, [11] particularly in understanding the mental health and well-being of Indigenous Peoples. [12] His work spans three interconnected domains:ethnopsychological investigations,assessments of cultural commensurability,and therapeutic innovations.
Gone's research in ethnopsychology explores how American Indian communities conceptualize aspects of mind,self,identity,emotion,personhood,and wellness. [13] He focuses on Indigenous cultural psychology,investigating traditional explanatory models for psychological disorders. [14]
Gone critically examines the compatibility between Indigenous therapeutic traditions and Western mental health practices. He has conducted comparative analyses of Indigenous cultural psychologies and professional mental health perspectives,exploring the integration of "Aboriginal" and "Western" therapeutic approaches in community settings,such as a Manitoba Cree community's substance abuse treatment program. [15] His research underscores the challenges and nuances in aligning Indigenous communicative norms with conventional counseling practices.
In the realm of therapeutic innovations,Gone has been instrumental in developing culturally congruent mental health interventions. He advocates for starting with Indigenous healing traditions and accommodating them within health care settings. A notable example is his collaboration with the Blackfeet Nation to create a culturally grounded substance abuse treatment program,emphasizing traditional practices over conventional addiction treatment methods.
In general terms,Gone's work encompasses the formulation of Indigenous psychology,addressing the effects of colonialism on Indigenous mental health. He has conducted systematic reviews on Indigenous historical trauma and its impact on health,critically examining the American Indian historical trauma concept. [16] His work emphasizes the need for a culturally and contextually informed approach in the study of psychopathology.
In his re-imagining of mental health services,Gone highlights the cultural divergences between Western professional and Indigenous therapeutic traditions. He explores the integration of American Indian traditional healing with contemporary psychotherapy,advocating for the use of traditional cultural practices in mental health treatment. His research includes the investigation of Native American cultural practices in therapeutic settings and the challenges of providing mental health services to American Indian communities without perpetuating colonial power dynamics. [17]
Gone's work is a testament to the importance of culturally responsive and decolonizing approaches in psychology,offering new pathways for treating mental health issues and advancing social justice in counseling psychology. His research not only elucidates the inequities in mental health status among Indigenous populations but also provides innovative solutions for culturally appropriate therapeutic remedies. [11]
Gone is an enrolled member (tribal citizen) of the Aaniiih-Gros Ventre tribal nation of Montana. [18] He is married to the historian Tiya Miles. The live together in Cambridge,MA,and in Bozeman,MT. They have three children. [19]

Indigenous psychology is defined by Kim and Berry as "the scientific study of human behavior or mind that is native,that is not transported from other regions,and that is designed for its people." There is a strong emphasis on how one's actions are influenced by the environment surrounding them as well as the aspects that make it up. This would include analyzing the context,in addition to the content that combine to make the domain that one is living in. The context would consist of the family,social,cultural,and ecological pieces and the content would consist of the meaning,values,and beliefs. Since the mid 1970s,there has been outcry about the traditional views from psychologists across the world,from Africa to Australia and many places in between about how the methods only reflect what would work in Europe and the Americas.
