      Abstract
      This paper outlines a model of accountability for Pakeha practitioners developed over many years

      as a practising community psychologist involved in research and development projects in Aotearoa

      in the 1980s and 1990s, during an era of contract-funded health projects, and increasing

      prominence of the Treaty of Waitangi2. The model could be termed 'transformative' in that it

      reverses the usual flow of power by making the Pakeha practitioner accountable to relevant Maori

      authority, and maximises the potential for new outcomes and new learning for all parties. A brief

      case study is outlined where the model placed a local iwi governance structure and a national

      psychiatric survivor organisation in positions of authority alongside the funder of a mental health

      project. Helpful conditions, positive outcomes and barriers to transformative accountability

      processes are briefly discussed.
