Racism and systemic oppression

Research and publications that focus on how psychological therapists and therapies are racist, oppressive, and, therefore, problematic.

Underserved communities

As with other threads of our research interests, this project aims to address prejudice, power and oppression, and, thereby promote whānau voices, enhance education, and strengthen practice especially by encouraging greater cultural safety to communities that have been underserved by psychological therapies.
