Dr Hinemoa Elder, Professor in Indigenous Mental Health Research
and Director of Te Whare Mātai Aronui, Te Whare Wānanga o
AwanuiārangiTātaihono is a unique book on what should be a
culturally-adapted and person-centered care in the 21st century. It
outlines the experiences of two exceptional individuals, one a
Māori healer and the other a European-New Zealander psychiatrist,
whom carefully manage together challenging clinical cases among the
Māori. A wonderful account on Indigenous healers-psychiatrists’
collaboration and their contributions to global mental health.Mario
Incayawar, M.D, MSc., PhD., Runajambi Institute, Inca Nation, South
America.The book is wonderful and makes a great contribution to
psychiatry both in Australia and New Zealand. It furthers our
understanding of the human experience through a cultural lens and
clearly demonstrates the importance of good, respectful
relationships within the clinical team and with the families
seeking assistance. It also highlights the importance and
significance of Indigenous knowledge and the benefit from using
both a western and Indigenous perspective in achieving good
outcomes. I really like the way the book has been written by
honouring the voices of all who participated in the case studies
and acknowledging their shared wisdom and experiences.Professor
Helen Milroy, Director, Centre for Aboriginal Medical and Dental
HealthI found this to be an excellent exposition of quality
clinical practice in mental health in a bicultural framework. I
would strongly commend it to trainee psychiatrists as a core text
in their training, and would recommend it to all those working in
mental health in New Zealand.Professor Pete Ellis, Professor of
Psychiatry, University of Otago, WellingtonThis work will be of
wide interest to multiple practitioner and lay audiences both
nationally and internationally, for people with difficulties of
this kind and their families, for indigenous and non-indigenous
mental health workers in different contexts, for clinical teachers,
trainees and researchers, and anyone concerned with the mental
health and wellbeing of those in their communities.Professor Tim
McCreanor, Social Scientist, Massey University, Auckland The UNITEC
Bachelor of Social Practice programme with its 300 students and the
Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling with its 50 students, are both
crying out for a book of this sort.Kay Ingamells, Lecturer,

AucklandThe authors have been able to use recordings of the actual
clinical sessions to ensure accuracy of the content. They have also
been able to follow up with the patients and have obtained updates
on clinical outcomes and reflections on their experiences of the
treatment they received. This all combines to provide a rich
picture of how a truly collaborative interface between scientific
and indigenous Maori knowledge looks. This definitely has value for
clinicians of any ethnicity who will be working with Maori, at any
level of experience. I will certainly be reading this book again.
Clive Banks, Consultant Clinical Psychologist: Ora Toa Mauriora"I
experienced this book as devine. It is beautifully written,
provides detailed examples of how to assess for possible spiritual
problems (which can be primary or comorbid issues), and teaches ua
all how we might best partner healers steened in an indigenous,
spiritual understanding of what it means to suffer and find
healing."Dr Granda, University of Hawai'i, Honolulu

Auckland"The text is clear and crisp, at times
painstakingly-reflexive, forcing the reader to slow down and
engage. The use of different voices in the presentation of the
cases works beautifully, each adding a layer to the same story and
a lens through which to view the other layers-cum-lenses,
consolidating trust in the stories as sturdy objects for
inspection, learning and musing upon."Dr Tehseen Noorani,
Anthropology, Durham University
