Farewell to Brigid Barrer

(1948-2016), MA, PhD, Dip Clin Psych Brigid Barrer was born in Christchurch of Tainui, Irish and English descent. She died on the 6th July 2016, following a long and courageous fight with cancer. Brigid Barrer trained as a clinical psychologist at Canterbury University and worked at Sunnyside Hospital before moving up to Auckland in 1973, initially on placement at Oakley Maximum Security Hospital. She then worked in a Child Psychiatric Unit at Auckland Hospital, where she began her publishing career with two articles. She moved to London in 1974 and while living in a Caledonian Road squat, she worked at New Charing Cross Hospital and Maudsley Hospital on behavioural desensitisation programmes to help agrophobic patients learn to use public transport, assertion training and social skills training. After returning to New Zealand, Brigid published a monograph with Lyn Fry, Two-to-one manual on setting up effective short term treatment programmes for handicapped children in New Zealand in 1981. Her doctoral thesis, Training parents to increase adaptive behaviours in autistic children was completed in 1985. She worked for 14 years at Carrington Hospital, with the charismatic and enlightened Medical Superintendent Fraser McDonald who had removed the bars from the hospital windows, unlocked the wards, while providing individual patient privacy and initiated the building of community houses where former inpatients could be rehabilitated in the community. Brigid supported the evaluation of this move, by an observational study which showed former patients had many more opportunities for social interaction than in the locked hospital wards, where they had spent most of their days sitting in chairs around the edge of the dayroom. Page 1

Brigid was a committed feminist and a supportive manager and mentor to a number of young women psychologists, whom she helped train during her years as head of the Psychology Department at Carrington Hospital. She later returned to her work as a child psychologist in the Child, Youth and Family Service. In a 2004 article for Social Work Now on ‘Evaluating Young Children in a Forensic Assessment’, she wrote about her work at the Specialist Services Unit Puawaitahi, at Auckland Central, the first multi-agency service in New Zealand, under this whakatoki: He kokonga whare e kitea, He kokonga ngakāu e kore e kitea. The corners of a house can be seen, but not the corners of the heart. Her knowledge and awareness of her Māori ancestry was an increasingly important part of her life. She had a keen interest in modern art and singing and despite a long, painful illness, bravely borne, became an accomplished writer after completing a masters in Creative Writing at Victoria University in 2010. Her masters thesis was titled Figures in the Landscape. She read her poetry and prose widely in Auckland, for example at the gala opening of the 2013 Fringe Festival, and at Poetry Live. Her essay ‘Canterbury Images’ gained second place in the Cultural Studies competition of Takahē magazine and this journal also published Brigid’s essay titled ‘Antipodeans’ on art, literature and space in the April 2016 issue 26. Her ‘Memoir’ was published in Turbine, Issue 10, a New Zealand Journal of Writing. Her support for other emerging writers was valued. Seamus Heaney, the Irish poet, said that, for him, writing poetry was a ‘grace’. For Brigid, her daughter Imogen, her partner David Watkins, and her wider family, her creative writing was, and continues as, a particular grace and gift.

Farewell to Louis Leland

25 September 1941 to 27 July 2016 Louis worked in the Department of Psychology at Otago university for about 40 years and was the longest serving academic member of staff ever. When appointed, the department was in a rebuilding phase and at one stage Louis was teaching at every level in the department. Louis arrived to take up his appointment in the department in 1972 having obtained his PhD at the University of Tennessee and having held a lectureship at Massey University. Louis was passionately devoted to the idea that teaching research skills was one of his primary responsibilities; and hundreds of students profited from his small group community projects. In particular, undergraduate students benefited from the opportunity to work in a small group on practical projects with a staff member devoted to ensuring that they learned scientific values that would advantage them wherever they went in life. Louis was a quintessential American but one who made the transition to life in New Zealand and became a part of both countries. This is symbolized by his “Kiwi – Yankee dictionary”. Louis collected idiosyncratic Kiwi words and phrases, and made a dictionary for visitors to the country, which sold at airports and all good bookstores throughout the land. With all due respects to his colleagues it has undoubtedly been the bestselling and arguably the most useful book ever produced by a member of the department! Above all else in his academic life Louis was a behaviourist. He taught the principles of behaviour change to a generation of students. Louis also had a cat who was evil and undisciplined but even a skilled behaviourist like Louis was unable to civilize her. Behaviourists have had many successes but the control of cats is beyond human science. At the Otago/Southland branch level Louis was for many years a committee member occupying several offices, most notably that of treasurer when his acumen had a big influence on the profitably of several national

conferences. He placed great importance on the encouragement of student engagement in psychology and played an important role in the judging of student presentations for awards at national conference. He also helped to initiate in the local branch the promotion of student projects on psychological themes in the secondary school ‘science fair’ and for many years judged the entries. Several years ago the Society recognized his long and outstanding service by the award of a Fellowship. It should also be noted that he played an important part in the activities of the New Zealand Association of Behaviour Analysis. Finally, on a personal level, Louis is survived by his son Dan and his partner Anna whose care and support of Louis over the past 6 years or more of medical challenges is a great tribute to her. Many thanks to Bob Knight for allowing his eulogy to Louis to be used for this obituary and to Peter Rich for providing this obituary.

Psychology Week 2016, 21-27 November Last year the NZPsS held a very successful Psychology Week with events being held all over the country. NZPsS Branches and Institutes were at the forefront of activities which had the theme of “Living Life Well” and were aimed to bring psychology and mental wellbeing to the attention of the public. This year’s Psychology Week will continue with this theme. Here are some of the activities offered by our institutes and branches:

The Institute of Counselling Psychology (ICounsPsy):

This year’s topic is on “ using psychology to develop a better relationship with food” .

The Institute of Educational and Developmental Psychology (IEDP)

Our topic is “Resilience in Learning” We propose to represent psychology as applied within an educational context from a strengths-based perspective. The core focus will be on resilience factors which support improved outcomes within education. We will highlight how life-long learning is supported and influenced by key factors indicated in the literature (e.g., relationship with teacher, autonomy as a learner etc.) Our aim is to engage the public in considering what resilience is, reflecting on the key variables that have impacted on their own learner experiences, and thinking about how to build personal resiliency. In addition, we will be incorporating a “Myth Debunking” component.

Institute of Health Psychology (IHP)

The IHP will invite 3 guest speakers to give public lectures on areas such as compassion, mindfulness, and health complaints. These speakers will be experts in their field and we envisage will have good face validity to a wider audience.

Nelson Marlborough Branch

Have a Psychology stall at Saturday Nelson market. We did that last year and had a very good response.

Have a professionals get together and a public meeting on the theme: Living life well. We are contacting high schools to schedule sessions with students to talk about different branches and applications of Psychology and Psychology as a career.

Professional Issues Ethics Matters Dr Elizabeth du Preez is a registered clinical and counselling psychologist and a lecturer on the Postgraduate Programme in Counselling Psychology at AUT. She has a special interest in professional ethics and clinical supervision and maintains a small private practice in Auckland. [email protected] I was reading an interesting article in the Weekend Herald on Saturday the 18th of June (link below) and thought that this was a very relevant topic for the ethics column – how academic and research psychologists engage in the research context, given the increasing pressure to obtain research funding, publish peer-reviewed articles and a growing pressure on academic institutions to generate revenue not only through their academic programmes but also through their research output. Researchers are increasingly turning towards private funders as public research funding is limited. The Herald article provides a fascinating read on the release of research findings and the process of negotiating this from both the funder and the academic institution’s viewpoint. The article specifically comments on the nature of the “negotiated” relationship between funders and researchers, resulting in questions such as “who owns the research findings” and “who is able to control which findings are publicised or not”. It further raises an important question (changes in italics are mine) “Can funders ever truly be independent arbiters of research into their own product/services/industry?” After entering the google search terms “bias funded health research” I found another two articles (links below) that addressed this issue – one in the UK Guardian in 2007 that published Page 4

a result of a survey that indicated that privately funded studies are more likely to be biased, and a 2016 article by the same newspaper that stated that it is “silly to assume that all research funded by corporations is bent”. The article further proposes some measures that can be implemented to guard against funder bias, which I will comment on at the end of this column. When we turn to the Code of Ethics (2002) – it states that “psychologists should consider the Code when making decisions regarding professional and research practice. Psychologists should also consider any workplace codes of conduct or codes of practice, and relevant legislation. If the Code of Ethics establishes a higher standard of conduct than is required in legislation or other codes, we suggest that psychologists should adopt the higher ethical standard in reaching their decision.” Principle 3 of the Code of Ethics (Integrity in relationships) is most relevant to this discussion. It states that integrity implies honesty – which requires “psychologists to be accurate, complete and comprehensible in all aspects of their work.” It also states under 3.1.4 that psychologists engaged in research should conduct open, honest and unbiased investigations. It further suggests that this can be achieved through “providing statements of the underlying assumptions, declaring any interests (e.g., naming funding bodies, and/or those who commissioned the research), regularly and genuinely seeking guidance from informed persons, and through the timely and adequate disclosure of research findings to the professional and scientific community.” This of course raises an interesting ethical dilemma – if we are paid to do research, and the funding body wants to “sanitise” the research findings that are published, we are left with a difficult choice. Should we go ahead and publish an “adequate” version of the data? We might follow the Code of Ethics but at the same time it might result in contractual breaches and the end of a research relationship with the particular funder. What does “adequate” disclosure mean? As with most ethical questions, there are no easy answers. Tracey Brown, the author of the 2016 article in The Guardian offers some excellent suggestions as a starting point to this

discussion: • Educating the public that the question of “who funded the research” needs to be augmented by questions that differentiate between good and bad research, such as “is it peer reviewed?/ what does it tell us?/is it a randomised control study?” • Open and honest conversations between researchers and funders about how to establish research partnerships that have integrity and honesty as the core drivers • Declaring all interested parties in independent research and setting up protective processes that address the possibility of bias in the conducting and reporting of research • Establishing a Code of Practice for the relationship between private corporations and academic institutions that include a process of arbitration should a difference of opinion arise It is our responsibility as registered psychologists to adhere to the Code of Ethics and to continue our discussions on this topic to not only protect the integrity of the profession but also serve public interest. I am looking forward to your feedback on this topic on [email protected] http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_ id=4&objectid=11658681 https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/ may/14/research-corporations-funding-science https://www.theguardian.com/society/2007/jan/09/ health.food

Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal Decision The HPDT has asked that the NZPsS publish decision 808/ Psy15/336D dated 17 May 2016. Ms E – Psy15/336D Charge On 5 April 2016 the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal considered a charge of professional misconduct laid by the Director of Proceedings against Ms E a psychologist (the Psychologist). The charge alleged that the Psychologist failed to set and/or maintain appropriate professional boundaries with a former patient and that the Psychologist engaged in sexual and/or intimate encounters with her former patient. The hearing proceeded on the basis of an agreed summary of facts and the Psychologist accepted that her actions amounted to professional misconduct and warranted disciplinary sanction. Finding The Tribunal found that the charge was upheld and was a serious departure from professional standards, coupled with the Psychologist’s dishonesty in attempting to cover her tracks and that the conduct constituted both malpractice and conduct likely to bring discredit to the psychologist’s profession. Penalty The Psychologist, soon after the events in question, voluntarily relinquished her registration and the Tribunal noted that it was to her credit she recognised that her departure from the standards which the public and profession are entitled to expect of her were simply too significant for her to be able to contemplate retaining her registration. The Tribunal stated that although it did not finally decide on this, had the Psychologist remained in practice there was a very real prospect that the Tribunal’s penalty order would have included cancellation. The Tribunal ordered that the Psychologist be censured and that she pay 30% of both the Tribunal and the Director of Proceedings’ costs. Conditions were also Page 5

imposed that are to be completed before the Psychologist applies for re-registration if she chooses to do so. Permanent orders of suppression were granted for the name of the Psychologist and any information that may lead to her identification or that of her former patient. The Tribunal directed publication of its decision and a summary, subject to the suppression orders. The full decision of the Tribunal can be found on http://www. hpdt.org.nz/Default.aspx?Tabid=487

New Zealand Psychology’s Public Face: Part-3

by Benita Stiles-Smith and Kayla Marshall This discussion concludes the three-part report generated by members of one of the working groups of the Future Psychology Initiative shared by the NZPsS and NZCCP (See http://www.psychology.org.nz/membership/thefuturepsychology-initiative ) in response to the question: “What is available in the public media to influence what New Zealanders think of psychologists?” Consideration of that question this month is especially timely, as we begin planning toward our second annual New Zealand Psychology Week in November. Evidence was presented in Parts 1 and 2, of the public’s interest in psychology, and of NZ psychologists’ efforts to respond to this, especially in the more recent past. It could however, be important to further develop public awareness that the face of psychology is actually a family of faces, inclusive of an interesting array of supported perspectives and practices that has received much public attention to date. Accepting and nurturing leadership from various branches of the family, and supporting

each in their unique engagement with the public can become an active and ongoing task for New Zealand psychologists. Moving from assessment of problems toward the array of activities to which the various sectors of the public will respond, is a task in which psychologists may become more involved. Engaging in the broader scope of services could result in higher degrees of positive social impact. For instance, greater presence of psychologists in such arenas as hospice, elder care, lifestyle and behavioural health, relationship work, public policy and planning, business and cultural interface, and many other areas, could bring needed contributions and social changes supported by important psychological input. Presence of psychologists within the do-it-yourself New Zealand culture may be bolstered by the increased availability of e-therapy, apps, blogs, and regular columns that are repeatedly visible over time to the public. Consistent visibility over time may also result in greater awareness of such psychologist-generated resources by other care professionals, who can then more consistently advise their appropriate use to those who may need them. Psychologists are developing an expectation from the public for maintaining a measured, objective, transparent, and understandable communication of the evidence from which action planning may derive. Capitalising upon the positive regard which the news media and public fora seem to hold for psychological perspectives that they are able to elicit from psychologists, seems a promising part of the way forward. Reaction opinion is often sought by news agencies, but these opportunities are often limited by the time allowed for constructing a response and by the nature of news presentations, and more methodical engagement with the media may be indicated. Psychologists from academic, research, and professional organisations have been productive of press releases on pertinent timely topics, as well as with dissemination of information relative to research and societal concerns. However, greater impact might be achieved through gearing these efforts toward a broader population base,

as opposed to an invested, self-selected population. Policy makers in New Zealand do not seem to consult with psychologists as a matter of course, although the appointments of psychologists to government posts in the Ministry of Health and Ministry of Social Development are encouraging. It may be that gaining more reliable access during the preparation phase of action agendas of policy and law makers is a necessary step to meaningful involvement by psychologists. Partnership and collaboration with colleagues in the wider community of scientists is of interest to New Zealand psychologist researchers. Continued development of these relationships can result in elevating public interest in the broader and better-supported end results, when these can be presented in relevant frames. Instituting observation of an annual Psychology Week is an encouraging beginning toward the goal of becoming more available and influential in New Zealand society. Such endeavours offer opportunity for the public to learn about psychology, as well as for psychologists to learn more about their New Zealand audience. Reciprocal response can result in upward spiralling of positive interaction, especially if psychologists respond to societal expectations as these grow and change. Dr Stiles-Smith is Senior Professional Clinician/Supervisor for the Post Graduate Diploma Psychological Practice Program to registration at Massey University, and Ms Marshall is pursuing her doctoral research in the Critical Health and Social Psychology Programme at Massey University. Thanks to Trish DuVillier and Marlene Verhoeven for their working group leadership in the New Zealand Psychologists Society, Future of Psychology Initiative, which generated the process of developing this report.

Laybying our Future: The State of Student Hardship in New Zealand Max Lin, a Masters of Arts student at the University of Auckland in Politics and International Relations has written a report that has been launched by Child Poverty Action Group (CPAG) titled ‘Laybying our future: The state of student hardship in New Zealand’. The report exposes the extent of severe hardship among tertiary students, and suggests solutions to improve the situation. CPAG is an independent charity providing research-based evidence about poverty for children in New Zealand, and policy changes that are needed to lift children and their families out of poverty. They have an excellent website www.cpag.org.nz where you will find this report. The report contains several sections (Principles and Goals of Tertiary Education; Student Support; Financing Everyday Costs; Laybying our Health; Student Debt; and Conclusions and Recommendations), and includes a subsection on mental health. Of concern is the increasing demand for student counselling services. For example, at the University of Auckland the number of counselling sessions increased from 1,215 in 2009 to 6,039 in 2014. The author notes that one in six final year students experience severe financial hardship. A survey conducted by the New Zealand Union of Students’ Association found that demand for food parcels increased by 124% between 2008 and 2012. The current situation of increasing tertiary fees and decreasing support for students (e.g., student allowances) raises equity issues – tertiary study is becoming increasingly inaccessible to growing numbers of students. It appears that the economic and social benefits of higher education are being forgotten. Lin reminds us that “tertiary graduates contribute significantly more to the tax base over their lifetime …

and have been shown to be more engaged and involved in our democracy, and are more likely to vote and volunteer in community organisations.” (p. 5). Professor Innes Asher, Paediatrician for the University of Auckland and Health Spokesperson for CPAG notes that, “Students with children are among those tertiary students who are struggling the most. Because they are deemed NOT to be ‘working’ they are denied three streams of income: a child-related tax credit of $72.50 per week, and those with new-born babies are not eligible for Paid Parental Leave or the Parental Tax Credit. This adds to the heavy financial stress experienced by the student parents and their babies and children. Such stress can have serious and lasting adverse effects on the psychological well-being of all family members. We need to change these income policies so that all low-income families have adequate financial resources” (personal communication, 5 August, 2016). The conclusion of the report outlines nine recommendations to address the problems facing tertiary students. As noted by Lin, the recommendations “provide a starting point for having a wider conversation” (p. 24). Lin, M. (2016). Laybying our future: The state of student hardship in New Zealand.

Open Letter To Peter Dutton, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Postgraduate psychology students, Helen Van Der Merwe and Joseph Smith, are planning to send an open letter (below) to the Australian Government regarding the situation on Nauru. Peter Dutton, Minister for Immigration and Border Protection Department of Immigration and Border Protection Global Feedback Unit GPO Box 241 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 3001 19 August 2016

we as students training in psychology wish to state that the situation in Nauru is unacceptable and call for an immediate end to the abuse of women, men and children in the Regional Processing Centre on Nauru. As psychology trainees we are aware of the ongoing impact that cruel and degrading treatment can have on the psychological wellbeing of individuals and communities, especially when it is experienced during childhood. We are unwilling to take the role of passive bystanders in issues of detainee treatment. As New Zealanders we are close neighbours to Australia and share history and culture. For this reason, we feel particularly compelled to make a statement about the situation in Nauru. We call on the Australian government to stop operating the Regional Processing Centre on Nauru in a way that harms detainees and allows for the use of practices which harm detainees. We are committed to the protection of the health and wellbeing of our own children here in New Zealand, and we say that the children at Nauru deserve those same protections. Yours sincerely, If you are a postgraduate psychology student and would like to add your name to this letter please email Helen Van Der Merwe on [email protected]

Dear Sir, As psychology students in New Zealand postgraduate training programmes, we believe that all human beings are entitled to a form of treatment that preserves and promotes their health and well-being. The Code of Ethics for Psychologists working in Aotearoa (2002) which practicing psychologists in New Zealand commit to states in Principle Four that part of the role of psychologists is to address and challenge unjust social norms, when they possess expert knowledge that bears on important societal issues. In light of the recent revelations of abuse of detainees which have been publicised in the release of incident reports from the Australian Detention Camp on Nauru, Page 8

track/click?u=c4f6b2fca0e12e49c424dea9f&id=bb4c97c4 65&e=0ba28f24a6 New research has revealed almost three quarters of New Zealand women under the age of 30 have experienced some form of online harassment. And more than half of all Kiwi women have been targeted. The Norton survey, Online Harassment: The New Zealand Woman’s Experience, reports that women had feelings of anger, irritation, frustration and anxiety as a result. Six per cent of women reported feeling suicidal.

A Massey University researcher looking into how to help prevent people who are sexually attracted to children from acting on this attraction is surveying adults who feel the attraction but have never sexually abused a child.

The second part of the questionnaire concerns the concept of patients searching online for information about their clinicians (Therapist-Targeted Googling). The study has received international ethics approval via the University of Vienna and should take you less than 10 minutes to complete. Results from New Zealand will be published separately and compared with those from other countries.

Request for Assistance Do clinicians google their patients? An international survey on Patient-Targeted Googling Dear colleagues, We are currently conducting a study on clinicians’ use of the Internet, specifically whether clinicians use the Internet to look up information about their patients. We are looking for clinicians who deliver psychotherapeutic interventions (clinical/counseling psychologists, psychiatrists, or psychotherapists) to take part in the study and are very grateful for your support. Involvement in the study would entail completing an online questionnaire. The following questionnaire, conducted by the Sigmund Freud University, Vienna, Austria in conjunction with the University of Auckland, New Zealand, is designed to explore your expert opinion and experiences relating to how clinicians and patients specifically use the Internet to obtain information about each other. The first part of the questionnaire asks your opinions and experiences concerning clinicians searching online for information about patients (Patient-Targeted Googling).

Are you a psychologist employed in a forensic setting? Would you be willing to talk to a researcher about your experiences? In the last decade or so, psychologists employed in forensic settings have played an increasing role in legal decision-making. Some authors have suggested that this has created unprecedented challenges for these psychologists (Wilson, Tamatea & Riley, 2007; Ward, 2013). This study sets out to explore these challenges, and what can be done to mitigate them. If you are a clinical psychologist or a general psychologist employed in a correctional or other forensic setting, we would be interested in hearing about your experiences.

Experiences of people of color in counseling groups. My name is Aziza Platt and I am a doctoral student in Fordham University’s Counseling Psychology Program under the mentorship of Dr. Eric C. Chen, Associate

Professor. I’m conducting dissertation research on the experiences of people of color in counseling groups. Given the mental health focus of the New Zealand Psychological Society, I am reaching out to you for your assistance in reaching clinicians and patients who meet the criteria? Would you please consider forwarding or disseminating this info to NZPsS members or guiding me to the appropriate way to do so? I am in the United States but the interviews are via phone or videochat and I can accommodate any timezone. This study has received ethical approval from the Office of the Institutional Review Board for Research on Human Subjects, Fordham University. • Research Topic: Our study focuses on the experiences of people of color in counseling groups where events related to race/culture occurred o The criteria says their group experience should be within the last 3 months but that’s flexible as long as they can remember their experience clearly. o The topic of the group doesn’t matter as long as the group was facilitated by a therapist. • Time Commitment: Brief demographic survey and 60-90 minute recorded interview • Compensation: Each participants will be compensated with a $20 Amazon gift card at the conclusion of the interview For more information about this study, please visit our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/RCEMAGC, or contact me at [email protected].

health professional working in New Zealand. - How does your background influence your encounters with clients? - How do you work with clients from your own culture and across other cultures? - What personal and professional challenges have you experienced? - How do you see cultural competence in relation to you? This study encourages you to reflect on your experiences of working with your own and others’ cultures (including the dominant culture). To date there has been no research on the views of Asian mental health professionals and their experiences in New Zealand. Yet, this is vital for professionals to develop cultural competence in a diverse society. The study involves individual interviews of approximately 1-2 hours conducted at a time and place that suits you, and a brief questionnaire completed at the start of the interview. You will receive a $20 grocery or petrol voucher as a thank you for your participation. Any psychologist who self-identifies with having an Asian background or identity can participate (e.g. Chinese, Korean, Indian, Southeast Asian…). If you live outside of Auckland, please do not hesitate to get in touch as I can travel or interview by Skype or phone. If you are interested or have any questions about the study, please contact Jennifer Liu at: jliu189@aucklanduni. ac.nz Approved by the University of Auckland Human Participants Ethics Committee on 30-11-15 for 3 years, reference number 016477

Experienced Trauma Counselors Needed in Sri Lanka Sri Lanka’s civil war lasted from 1983 to 2009. The Tamils of the north, who had been favored by the British in colonial times, lost power/privilege after independence when the Sinhalese/ Buddhists, 75% of the population, had a clear majority at the polls. The Tamils pushed to create their own land. In 2009, under Rajapaksa, Tamil Page 13

civilians were told they would be safe from the fighting in “no fire zones”. In fact, they were tricked, and the “no fire zones” were shelled and the Tamils killed. It is estimated that 70,000 Tamil civilians were killed in 2009...almost 10x those killed at Bosnia’s Srebrenica. The world did not hear of Sri Lanka’s atrocities because Rajapaksa would not allow press or UN into the north. Sri Lanka is healing now. Sinhalese and Tamils alike are working at working together. NGO’s are emerging that address the wounds of the war. Come work with an organization in the north that is devoted to healing the psychological wounds. WE NEED YOU! Psychotherapists with experience in one, some or all of the following are needed: 1. Trauma Though EMDR, NLP, EFT, narrative or Ericksonian techniques may be useful,more important is to be so well versed that you can apply skills to another cultural context. Thus art, music and dance therapies can also be very useful. 2. Gender based violence Again, the less dogmatic and the more practical and seasoned/ wise you are, the better. 3. Grief and loss 90,000 Tamil women were widowed in 2009 atrocities 4. Extensive counseling skills This organization does general counseling for children and adults, not just trauma. Sri Lanka, once called Ceylon, is a tropical island paradise in the Indian Ocean. Other international opportunities for Psychologists: NEPAL: Trafficking Sex traffickers prey on young women in rural Nepal that want out of poverty. Traffickers promise them a job; instead girls are tricked into prostitution and sexual exploitation in India. Come help in the remote rural villages: teach English and literacy to create another life for these girls. No experience necessary. Or if you have experience in counseling, help the women who have escaped prostitution to start life anew. UGANDA: Secondary School

This is an excellent place to get counseling experience, even if it is your first experience. If youth do well on the national exam, they get a scholarship to Makerere, the best university; it is a ticket out of poverty. So can you tutor in Math, Biology, Chemistry, Physics and/or English (writing, grammar and literature)? plus help counseling students about their goals and how to get to them? Most come from poor farming villages and Uganda has few jobs. But you can help as a “guidance counselor.” COSTA RICA: Domestic Violence Spanish fluency required. Work in the shelter: do crisis, individual or group counseling and/or play therapy with the kids; advocacy in court; community education; help women become economically independent so they can leave abusive relationships. This is an excellent place to get counseling experience, even if it is your first experience. THAILAND: Dance, Music, Art & Drama Therapy Work with innovative organization that helps kids with developmental disabilities through dance, music, art or drama therapy. This is also a great place for your first step in the helping professions. NEPAL: Women & Mental Health Work with this grassroots organization that helps “vulnerable women” - which is often women with mental health needs. Work in beautiful town that has commanding views of the Annapurna range. GULU, UGANDA: Child Development & Behavior Therapy Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army abducted children and youth to become child soldiers or to make the girls sex slaves in northern Uganda from 1986 to 2007. Gulu is peaceful now. The young children that were borne out of those forced marriages (aka sex slaves), are now pre-teen or teenagers. They are acting out. The mothers have asked for help with behavioral interventions. This is also well suited also for family therapists. In this position, it is helpful to have experience. ECUADOR & PERU: Youth People have flooded the cities, hoping to find work. There is none. All over the world, where poverty prevails, kids and youth are the ones that suffer; it is the youth and kids

that are pushed to make an income for the family shining shoes. Have experience working with children, youth and families, or in Child Protection? We need you! CAMEROON: Alternatives to Violence When a social worker from Canada asked an audience of 50 men, how many of them beat their wives. 48 hands went up! “Why” “How else would you get them to mind?” You will also see corporeal punishment in schools and homes. Are you comfortable with public speaking? Come teach positive reinforcement and other ways of interacting. TANZANIA: Psychiatric needs - on hold because of visa changes under new president. All over the world survival needs trump mental health needs. (cf Abraham Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.) But this is where you can help with milieu therapy and/or help psychiatric patients. (English is not their first language so activity therapies are more useful.)These are volunteer opportunities. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. When you go and how long you stay can often be fit to your schedule. NGOabroad creates service opportunities for people that want to apply their skills to some of humanity’s gnarliest challenges.

INSTITUTE of COMMUNITY PSYCHOLOGY AOTEAROA

A strengths-based approach to post-settlement practice Dr Rawiri Waretini-Karena

(Ngāti Mahanga/Waikato-Tainui & Ngāpuhi Nui Tonu)

& Dr Ingrid Huygens (Dutch, Pākehā)

Hamilton: Friday 4 November 2016, 9am-5pm Anglican Action, Morrinsville Road This is a practice-oriented workshop to assist leaders, practitioners and trainees to respond in strengths-based ways to the expectations and aspirations of Māori clients and communities, and to work confidently in the area of responsiveness to Māori. Responsiveness to Māori needs and aspirations, from governance through to operations, is now a requirement of government contracts and many community funders. A deeper understanding of historical context, strategy and available practice models will assist in funding applications, strategy, service provision and evaluation of your Treaty-based practice. Ingrid will introduce the issues with a brief refresher on Waitangi Tribunal evidence of Māori aspirations for the Treaty relationship as shown in He Wakaputanga (the Declaration) and new evidence about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Rawiri will showcase his doctoral research into inter-generational impacts of colonisation, and show how trauma can be approached without activating a deficit perspective. He will cover current models which allow practitioners and clients to work respectfully together on analysis, action and aspirations. Within these frameworks, Western models such as CBT and Māori models such as Whare Tapa Wha can all be used. The workshop will include presentations, group discussions, and the opportunity for organisational strategising. (Bring your current strategy documents and funding applications, etc, with you to look at through a different lens during discussion). This workshop will appeal to managers, Board members, staff and volunteers in a wide range of health and social services. Students, too, are most welcome to attend.
