Part 2 of 2 - Aotearoa Minds: Maoris Taking on Mental Health
05/06/2004
In the Land of the Long White Cloud, Maori minds are being challenged, but indigenous New Zealanders are leading the charge to change that. In the second part of this All in the Mind series, Natasha Mitchell visits a team injecting Maori traditions back into the fractured lives of people with psychiatric illness. How do Maori views of depression, schizophrenia and psychotherapy diverge from Western psychiatry? And how does the NZ scenario compare with that for indigenous Australians? Leaps and bounds ahead argues one leading specialist in Aboriginal mental health.
