Winner of the 2015 Educational Publishing Awards Australia -
Scholarly Resource Most people of European background are not aware
that they see the world through the lens of the Western tradition,
but for Indigenous people, it can seem like a foreign language.
Indigenous ways of thinking and working are grounded in many
thousands of years of oral tradition, and continue among Australian
Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people today. Lorraine Muller
shows that understanding traditional holistic approaches to social
and emotional wellbeing is essential for practitioners working with
Indigenous clients across the human services. She explores core
principles of traditional Indigenous knowledge in Australia,
including relatedness, Country, circular learning, stories, and
spirituality. She then shows how these principles represent a
theory for Indigenous practice. A Theory for Indigenous Australian
Health and Human Service Work offers a deep insight into Indigenous
Australian ways of working with people, in the context of a
decolonisation framework. It is an invaluable resource for both
Indigenous and non-Indigenous practitioners and researchers in
health, social work, community work, education and related fields.
'In today's global environment, where Indigenous Peoples continue
to fight for self-determination, Muller's work is an exemplary
model of Indigenous self- determination. It is bound to be a
foundational model of Indigenous practice in field of health and
well-being.' - Michael Hart, Canada Research Chair in Indigenous
Knowledges and Social Work, University of Manitoba 'Lorraine
Muller's work covers some centrally important issues for those that
work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and who
want to understand indigenous knowledge frameworks.' - Dr Mark
Wenitong, Apunipima Cape York Health Council
