Occupational therapy in its present dominant form &#8211; its knowledge, theory and practices, is culturally situated in Western spheres of shared experiences. Inherent in any dominant practice are issues of power and equity; the cultural norms embedded in one&#8217;s own practice can exclude many others. From living the complex and dynamic tensions between Maori and Pakeha, occupational therapists of Aotearoa\/New Zealand have opportunities to reflect on and innovate culturally safe practices, and enlighten the world in recognizing the cultural nature of our occupational therapeutic selves.<\/p>\n<p>Author: Dr. Michael Iwama<\/p>\n<p>Published in:\u00a0 <span class=\"browse-item-data\">New Zealand Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol. 54, No. 2, Sept 2007: 18-25<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Link:\u00a0<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/search.informit.com.au\/documentSummary;dn=304338987364335;res=IELHEA\">https:\/\/search.informit.com.au\/documentSummary;dn=304338987364335;res=IELHEA<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abstract: Culturally safe occupational therapy entails recognizing the cultural contexts through which our therapeutic interactions are translated.
