title: What are Bicultural Psychological Services?

authors: Thomas, David R.

subjects: Maori students

abstract: The present paper is intended to stimulate discussion on the development of bicultural psychological services in Aotearoa/New Zealand, focusing primarily on services provided by psychologists trained in tertiary educational institutions. Patterns of biculturalism emerging among human services in New Zealand are briefly described, then topics relevant to the provision of bicultural psychological services, that are appropriate for both Maori and Pakeha, in Aotearoa are discussed.

title: A humanistic approach to addressing the needs of Maori homeless people with mental health concerns

authors: Johnson, Diana

subjects: Maori

abstract: Homelessness is a human tragedy that is often associated with mental illness. Maori people are overrepresented in the homeless population and among people experiencing mental illness in New Zealand. Little is known about the mental health experiences of Maori homeless people or the efforts of practitioners who render assistance. The authors explore the experiences of six Maori homeless people and six mental health professionals. Findings highlight the importance of a humanistic and culturally informed approach to addressing the needs of homeless people and restoring their wellness and dignity.

title: Synthesis and reactivity of gold(III) complexes containing cycloaurated iminophosphorane ligands

authors: Kilpin, Kelly Joan

subjects: x-ray crystal structures

abstract: Transmetallation reactions of ortho-mercurated iminophosphoranes (2-ClHgC₆H₄)Ph₂P NR with [AuCl₄]⁻ gives new cycloaurated iminophosphorane complexes of gold(III) (2-Cl₂AuC₆H₄)Ph₂P NR [R = (R,S)- or (S)-CHMePh, p-C₆H₄F, tBu], characterised by NMR and IR spectroscopies, ESI mass spectrometry and an X-ray structure determination on the chiral derivative R = (S)-CHMePh. The chloride ligands of these complexes can be readily replaced by the chelating ligands thiosalicylate and catecholate; the resulting derivatives show markedly higher anti-tumour activity versus P388 murine leukaemia cells compared to the parent chloride complexes. Reaction of (2-Cl₂AuC₆H₄)Ph₂P NPh with PPh₃ results in displacement of a chloride ligand giving the cationic complex [(2-Cl(PPh₃)AuC₆H₄)Ph₂P NPh]⁺, indicating that the P N donor is strongly bonded to the gold centre.
