Gregorio, The Hand Trembler is a book written by Alexander Hamilton Leighton that explores the life and personality of a Navajo Indian named Gregorio. The book is a psychobiological personality study that delves into the cultural and psychological factors that shaped Gregorio's life and personality.Gregorio was a well-known hand trembler, a traditional Navajo healer who uses his hands to diagnose and treat illnesses. Leighton examines the role of this practice in Navajo culture and how it influenced Gregorio's identity and sense of self.The book also looks at Gregorio's childhood experiences, including his relationship with his parents and his experiences with the Navajo boarding school system. Leighton explores how these experiences shaped Gregorio's personality and his approach to healing.Throughout the book, Leighton draws on his background in anthropology and psychiatry to provide a nuanced and detailed portrait of Gregorio's life and personality. The book is a fascinating exploration of Navajo culture and the complex interplay between cultural and psychological factors in shaping personality.Additional Contributor Is Clyde Kluckhohn.
