      Abstract
      This paper discusses the perceptions of epilepsy held by Maori in the Bay of Plenty. The paper

      begins by introducing the purpose and rationale of the research. It then moves on to describe the

      aims and qualitative research methods that were used to collect the data. Finally the paper

      discusses the findings of the research, this includes: a close look at the unique perceptions of

      epilepsy that were reported by Maori in the Bay of Plenty; the lack of resources and services

      available in a small rural town of the Bay of Plenty; the services desired by Maori; attitudes

      towards medication and the inappropriate behaviour many of the participants experienced by the

      medical profession.
