Moemoea : Maori Counselling Journeys

This book is a collection of material by M'ori practitioners. It is a practical and accessible resource for those working alongside wh'nau M'ori. Each chapter demonstrates clear links between practice and philosophy, situating these in whakaaro M'ori and in contemporary Western ideas. Practice stories show M'ori cultural ethics at work in: counselling, supervision, group work, research, advocacy, and professional education. In their weaving of whakaaro M'ori and narrative practice, the stories will inform and inspire practitioners who work alongside M'ori, in diverse settings. Throughout the book the voices of both wh'nau and counsellor explore what happens when mana is recognised, called into presence, and engaged in the task of reimagining the future.
