The authors discuss the challenges and opportunities presented to Indigenous psychotherapists and clients following the shift to online therapy as a result of government restrictions on social contact and travel.

For me, the quality of the contact (by eye contact, a smile, and an open manner), the welcome (‘Kia ora’), and accompaniment to the table (which conveys a sense of being expected) are all crucial elements to setting the scene of what is to come. Similarly, in psychotherapy, practitioners meet, greet and seat their clients, and, as do restauranteurs, have different perspectives on how to do that. During the last decade, some psychotherapists have been thinking about their practice in terms of what Donna Orange, clinician and a professor at New York University, refers to as ‘clinical hospitality’ [1] . In promoting this concept as a way of thinking about psychotherapeutic practice, she draws on the work of three French philosophers: Emanuel Lévinas (1906–1995), Jacques Derrida (1930–2004) and Paul Ricœur (1915–2005), all of whom devoted the...

Address for correspondence: Keith Tudor, School of Psychotherapy, Auckland University of Technology, Private Bag 92006, Auckland 1020, New Zealand. E-mail: keith.tudor@aut.ac.nz Abstract. Person-centered therapy is the original relationship therapy. In the context of the increasing interest in the “relational turn” in therapy, this paper reconsiders the therapeutic relationship and the relational in person-centered theory and practice. The paper distinguishes and develops an organismic relational perspective, as distinct from a self-relational perspective, and thus extends Rogers’ use of the term “organismic” to include the client–therapist relationship as well as the integral relationship people have with their environment. In this and another paper (Tudor, 2010a), the author argues that an organismic perspective also emphasizes homonomy, or a trend to belonging, alongside autonomy, and thus offers a counterpoint to the emphasis on individuation and individualism preva...

Based on her own research using both kaupapa research theory and heuristic research method, and supervised by the second author, the article describes her negotiation of the experience of being a hybrid cultural subject and object, of belonging and not belonging. The article extends the practice and understanding of cross-cultural research on a number of levels: the intrapsychic (i.e., within the principal investigator herself), the interpersonal (i.e., between the researcher and supervisor), and the methodological (i.e., between an indigenous and a Western theory).

As such, the article reflects the author’s interest in the psychotherapy of politics, which includes: ‘a range of attempts to understand and to evaluate political life through the application of psychotherapeutic concepts’. This and other contributions to putting culture—and politics—on the couch not only aim to develop a political analysis that is more psychologically and psychotherapeutically informed, but also to help people move from reaction and inaction through insight to social action.

These criticisms have been made from other intellectual, cultural, social, spiritual and wisdom traditions, but may also be found in critical and radical traditions within Western thought. In this article, exponents of ten different theoretical orientations within or modalities of psychotherapy reflect on one or two key aspects of their respective theories which, together, offer a holistic conception of the person; account for family/social/cultural context; provide an understanding of the human trend to homonomy (or belonging) alongside autonomy; articulate a relational understanding of human development, attachment to and engagement with others; and emphasise spirit, group, and community. As such, these psychotherapies – and critiques of Western psychotherapy – offer a wider vision of the scope and practice of psycho...

I say “perhaps” as I am only too aware of the suspicion of and resistance to “politics” in psychotherapy — as if the clinic, consulting room and couch can or should be situated outside society or (from the Greek) the polis.

We first met as a result of Keith contacting Colin with regard to The Book of Evan, and got to know each other more through some further conversations. The interview itself was conducted in a conversational style; the resulting article is based on a transcription of the interview and subsequent research, and further writing and editing. The article focuses on and covers Colin’s background and work in farming and psychotherapy and, specifically, psychodrama, and discusses the interplay between these two worlds. Following this and drawing on matters arising from the first part of our recorded conversation and subsequent writing, in the second part of the article, we discuss the phenomenon of our ageing practitioner community, sustainable professional development, and succession-planning.

It is argued that collecting personal information for the purposes of healing is not the same as collecting it for the purposes of research and, therefore, that informed and voluntary consent for this use is essential. The theoretical principles covering ethics in research are discussed in relation to the use of case studies in publications, based on international codes and declarations, on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and framed in a relational paradigm. Practical considerations and recommendations for those writing for journals and, specifically, this journal, are presented and promoted.

New Zealand's central government, and more specifically the Ministry of Health, consistently ... more New Zealand's central government, and more specifically the Ministry of Health, consistently acknowledges their special relationship with Māori and the strategic importance of Māori health, and certainly, strengthening Māori health is critical to addressing systemic health inequities. This paper, framed in terms of the Crown principles attributed to the Treaty of Waitangi, ie, participation, protection and partnership, examines three structural decisions that threaten to unravel the whāriki (foundational mat) of Crown Māori health policy infrastructure. These include the disestablishment of the Ministry of Health's policy team, Te Kete Hauora, revoking mandatory district health boards' (DHB) Māori health plans and reporting, and downscaling the requirements of DHBs to consult. These actions appear to breach the Articles of te Tiriti o Waitangi and may be cited as such in the forthcoming WAI 2575 kaupapa health hearing before the Waitangi Tribunal. The authors call for th...

Taking as a case example the power that regulatory “responsible authorities” have under the New Zealand Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act 2003 to define scopes of practice of health professionals, including that of educator, the article discusses the implications of such power with regard to health authorities determining curricula, and approving – or disapproving of – certain educators. The authors argue that such power, wielded by government appointees, represents a conservatising agenda, compromises the role of the university to be “a critic and conscience of society”, and threatens the future of both independent health professionals and their educators. The research, conducted over some five years, is informed by relevant publications on professional regulation and the registration of professionals, and a critical review of the publications and websites of the various responsible authorities.

Health promotion that addresses these injustices thus must be inherently political work particularly in colonial contexts with systemic inequities. Aotearoa New Zealand is one such context. We take as our starting point a commitment to implement bicultural praxis informed by interpretations of the articles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi (1840). This treaty sets in place governance arrangements between the indigenous people (Māori) and the Crown of Great Britain. This paper explores the application of this praxis within health promotion from a settler standpoint. Firstly, it revisits the timeline leading to the signing of Te Tiriti, reviews the significance of Te Tiriti to health promotion practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and proposes four propositions to inform a bicultural praxis which, the authors argue, has an application internationally where indigenous and settler values must come into a just relationship.
