Abstract
This paper describes an example of Māori healing and psychiatry working together in an Indigenous mental health context in Aotearoa (New Zealand). Each author outlines their perspectives on the context and the partnership. The case of a Māori teenager with pseudo-seizures and voice-hearing is described to illustrate the partnership in action.
