      Abstract
      Within therapeutic settings, narrative

      approaches are increasingly being used as a

      way of creating new understandings and

      new stories. This paper discusses the use of

      purakau as a Māori focused intervention

      when working with Māori tangata whaiora

      (clients) and their whānau. This paper will

      outline the rationale and relevance of using

      purakau with Māori. However, the

      emphasis is on the training provided to

      clinicians in the use of purakau. An outline

      of the training process is provided. In

      doing so, issues regarding the use of these

      taonga (treasures) in clinical psychology

      will be raised. It will be argued that Māori

      mythology must have a place in the kete of

      Māori psychology.
