Indigenous psychologies

A review of indigenous perspectives in psychology and cross-cultural engagement in  psychotherapy and counselling.

Underserved communities

Traditionally Western – and Northern – psychology has not served indigenous populations well, and, indeed, historically, mainstream psychology has been part of pathologising and marginalising these populations and communities. This research aims to scope the field of indigenous psychology view a view to making it more mainstream within the tertiary education sector, not least so that it influences the thinking and practice of the next generation of professionals in the psychological therapies, thereby both enhancing education, and strengthening practice.
