Not all forensic psychiatrists are psychopathic. Who knew? #rcpsych Forensic Faculty Conference.

Picture of slide with text beginning “In colonized countries like New Zealand, Australia and Canada, it is customary to begin with an acknowledgment of the traditional owners of the land. European settings often lack this tradition, focus on oneself, not one’s past or context. Māori tradition emphasises connection to place, people and ancestors rather than just names and qualifications.”
