Collaborative and Indigenous Mental Health Therapy

Collaborative and Indigenous Mental Health Therapy

Taylor & Francis

This book examines a collaboration between traditional M\u0101ori healing and clinical psychiatry. Comprised of transcribed interviews and detailed meditations on practice, it demonstrates how bicultural partnership frameworks can augment mental health treatment by balancing local imperatives with sound and careful psychiatric care. In the first chapter, M\u0101ori healer Wiremu NiaNia outlines the key concepts that underpin his worldview and work. He then discusses the social, historical, and cultural context of his relationship with Allister Bush, a child and adolescent psychiatrist. The main body of the book comprises chapters that each recount the story of one young person and their family\u2019s experience of M\u0101ori healing from three or more points of view: those of the psychiatrist, the M\u0101ori healer and the young person and other family members who participated in and experienced the healing. With a foreword by Sir Mason Durie, this book is essential reading for psych.
