In Tātaihono three mental health practitioners—Wiremu, Allister, and David— share their experiences and insights gained by moving outside conventional psychiatric frameworks. Throughout the book first-hand accounts are used to illustrate how unlikely relationships evolved into working partnerships and how those partnerships provided a basis for a comprehensive approach to advancing the health of patients and their families. As a result the trio has been able to articulate a model of care that will be increasingly relevant in a world where global migration and cultural diversity already demand multiple perspectives. The advancement of health, education, economic growth, environmental sustainability, societal equity, and fairness will all require a capacity to share knowledge and learning and to work outside accustomed frameworks.
