| dc.description.abstract | This dissertation explores what a Maori psychotherapy might look like. To do this I will define and describe core relational concepts of traditional Maori society within a Kaupapa Maori frame of reference. I have identified the following six relationships as central or core: Manaakitanga (generosity, hospitality), Whanaungatanga (nurturing connection and belonging), Kaitiakitanga (guardianship, protection, caretaking), Kotahitanga ( developing oneness, unity and integration), Rangatiratanga ( self-determination, self-actualisation and leadership), and Wairuatanga ( spiritual awareness and the practice of spirituality). These concepts will be introduced through a systematic literature review and then linked to the practice of psychotherapy. Each core relationship has the potential to make a unique contribution to our understanding of the therapeutic process. Clinical examples from my own psychotherapy practice will be used to illustrate how I think about and use these concepts in my work with clients. Maori concepts of relationship will be located within a holistic context and worldview and shown to be relevant both to the specific interpersonal practice called psychotherapy and to the broader field of human experience and self-understanding. | |
