Existential Therapy Across Cultures: Reflections from New Zealand
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.65828/mb5qbs89Keywords:
Existential therapy, cross-cultural, recovery model, cultural sensitivity, indigenous worldviews, social inclusionAbstract
Mental health services might be commissioned to provide contradictory interventions, such as symptom reduction or the recovery of wellbeing. Culturally sensitive or evidence-based interventions can pose dilemmas. Therapists in New Zealand mental health services face these dilemmas, and a move to existential therapy would align more closely with the worldview of indigenous populations.
