"Be careful what you wish for" Professional recognition, the statutory regulation of counselling, and the state registration of counsellors.

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.

Firstly, I would like to thank Nick Totton, my predecessor as editor (2003-2011), and Andrew Samuels, consulting editor, for their faith in me being able to take up the editorial task. Although there have been times over the past 11 years when I have cursed them for inviting me to take on the roleand myself for having agreed!-mostly, I have enjoyed it, though I have felt both its privilege and responsibility. Secondly, I would also like to thank my university, Auckland University of Technology (AUT), and especially the School of Public Health & Psychosocial Studies, which, between 2012 and 2019, supported me specifically in having some editorial assistance, to whit, I want to acknowledge and thank Karen Begg, Leah Royden, Dr Shoba Nayar, and Angie Strachan for their fine editing skills, patience with and facilitation of colleagues submitting and reviewing articles-and, of course, with and of me! Finally, I would like to thank my partner, Louise Embleton Tudor, for her unwavering support of me and the journal, which has included stepping in and undertaking reviews, sometimes at the eleventh hour-tēnā koe e hoa rangatira, thank you, my friend, comrade, partner, and wife.

Hospitable psychotherapy

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...

In it, the recipients offer their thanks for the award and acknowledge the process involved, from initiation to acceptance. This is followed by their reflections on cocreative transactional analysis (TA), stimulated by the statement supporting the nomination focusing specifically on cocreative TA as offering a new metaperspective on TA. They reflect on what theyand others-identify as the specific contributions of cocreative TA to the field over the past 20 years. In the third and final part of the article, the authors offer some thoughts about influences and future directions of cocreativity in TA.

Person-Centered Relational Therapy: An Organismic Perspective

Author Note. Address for correspondence: Keith Tudor, School of Psychotherapy, Auckland Universit... more Author Note. 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...

Being Māori and Pākehā: Methodology and Method in Exploring Cultural Hybridity

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).

The challenge of security and accessibility: Critical perspectives on the rapid move to online therapies in the age of COVID‐19

The critique is informed by concerns about the security of online therapeutic practice; informed by, but not restricted to, legislation and practice in the United Kingdom. Furthermore, it includes cultural perspectives regarding healthcare provision, specifically with Pacific communities in Aotearoa New Zealand and, more broadly, with regard to disadvantaged and vulnerable clients and communities throughout the world. The article offers a framework that accounts for the challenge of making practical, culturally appropriate, and therapeutic decisions about the security and accessibility of online therapeutic practice.

The person-centred approach in Aotearoa New Zealand: a critical examination of a settler psychology

Utilizing a critical methodology of both written records and oral history, the article documents the process of 'first contact' of Rogers' ideas, followed by the later 'settlement' of client-and person-centered influences through churches and ministry, marriage guidance, and relationship counseling, and the tertiary education sector. Drawing on the results of a contemporary survey, the article reflects on the limitations of the current practice of person-centered therapy, and of therapists influenced by the PCA. The article concludes with a challenge to the approach to adapt to be more culturally responsible, relevant, and responsive, particularly to the indigenous Māori people of the land. L'Approche centrée sur la personne en Aotearoa Nouvelle-Zélande : Un examen critique d'une psychologie coloniale Cet article examine comment l'Approche centrée sur la personne (ACP) s'est établie en Aotearoa Nouvelle Zélande. Il dresse des parallèles entre le processus de colonisation et la manière dont une psychologie occidentale débarque et s'implante. En utilisant une méthodologie critique d'enregistrements écrits et d'histoires orales, l'article documente le "premier contact" avec les idées de Rogers, suivi par "l'installation" des influences centrées sur le client/ la personne au travers de l'église et de son ministère, de l'accompagnement au mariage, du counselling en matière relationnelle et du secteur tertiaire de l'éducation. Sur base des résultats d'une enquEAte actuelle, l'article pose ensuite une réflexion sur les limites de la pratique actuelle de la thérapie centrée sur la personne et des thérapeutes influencés par l'ACP. L'article se conclut par un défi E0 l'approche de s'adapter pour EAtre davantage culturellement responsable, pertinente et adaptée, particulièrement envers le people indigène Maori du pays.

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.

The Book of Evan: The Work and Life of Evan McAra Sherrard

Ata: Journal of Psychotherapy Aotearoa New Zealand, 2017

Apart from a minor ecclesiastical "in-joke" deploying the preposition "of" it has connotations linking part with whole, which is what the book attends to diligently. The editor is to be congratulated not only for his demonstrated capability in shaping the text towards a common signature but also for curating available material presented in a range of textual formats and peppered with photographs. There is a broad range of contributors too, including family members, friends, professional colleagues. My advice to any reader is to skim through the Introduction, grasp basic time-lines and then commence reading from the back, adopting a Hebrew/Japanese/Arabic approach. Why? Because in the end is the beginning. Kick-off with Evan's Credo. And a second reason, while it may be possible to bookend a person's life with metaphors such as "Life's journey" or "Chapters" these merely reify a particular interpretation of "time" as a benchmark, and in doing so miss the point entirely. Time is not linear, it's warped through space. Far better to utilise a metaphor every Kiwi has experienced: volcanic disturbances. This metaphor slides into literalness when multiple fault-lines emerge unexpectedly to become grist for lived experiences. Want an example? We have a case in point, The Book of Evan. An implicit timeless theme running throughout this book is of an explorer's joint adventure, seeking yet never accepting "yes" for an answer, of welcoming doubt as much as being frustrated by it in an ever-changing world. I say "joint-adventure" because, in this context another preposition for the book's title, "about" is not appropriate. That hints more at a revelatory discourse and there is very little

Informing Consent for the Publication of Case Material

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.

Unravelling the whāriki of Crown Māori health infrastructure

The New Zealand medical journal, Jan 7, 2017

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.

Bicultural praxis: the relevance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi to health promotion internationally

International Journal of Health Promotion and Education, 2016

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 imperatives to inform a bicultural praxis which, the authors argue, has an application internationally where indigenous and settler values must come into just relationship.

Bicultural Praxis: The Relevance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi to Health Promotion Internationally

is necessary to any just society. 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.
