Moemoea: Māori Counselling Journeys

Moemoea: Māori Counselling Journeys – Editors – Kathie Crocket, Eugene Davis, Elmarie Kotzé, Brent Swann & Huia Swann

This book is a collection of material by Māori practitioners. It is a practical and accessible resource for those working alongside whānau Māori. Each chapter demonstrates clear links between practice and philosophy, situating these in whakaaro Māori and in contemporary Western ideas.

Practice stories show Māori cultural ethics at work in: counselling, supervision, group work, research, advocacy, and professional education. In their weaving of whakaaro Māori and narrative practice, the stories will inform and inspire practitioners who work alongside Māori, in diverse settings.

Throughout the book the voices of both whānau and counsellor explore what happens when mana is recognised, called into presence, and engaged in the task of reimagining the future.
