Mauri Ora

This book outlines the relevance of culutre, identiy, and socioeconomic factors to health. The author draws on many years of experience to bring fresh perspectives on Maori health, and especially mental health. The book includes a comprehensive clinical review of suicide, depression, and alcohol and drug misuse, but there is also a thorough exploration of the origins of poor health and strategies for improving health.
