Book
This book provides information on the psychological impact of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It begins by looking at the nature of culture, how colonisation has affected Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and the role of psychology. It finishes by describing how practitioners can work effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Abstract adapted from Psychology and Indigenous Australians
This book would be a useful resource for mental health practitioners who have Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander clients. The resource could help improve the work of these practitioners by increasing their understanding about the negative effects of colonisation and how to work effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
