ABSTRACT
This chapter describes the story of a 10-year-old Cook Islands girl named Moana 1 told from three different perspectives. It begins with an outline of the family predicament and background context, and then a description of the session with the family narrated by Allister. The next section is told from the perspective of Wiremu. The final voice is that of Tere, Moana’s mother. Each narration brings a different perspective, and together they illuminate a multidimensional family therapy process that extends beyond immediate and living family members and takes account of genealogical and intergenerational inf luences.
