Abstract

This paper was first given as my "personal story" to a bicultural hui called "Weaving our Living Stories", facilitated by the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists (NZAP) and Awhina Maori healers in March 2007. There was also a sub theme — an exploration of ethical intimacy and erotic transference — that each story-teller was asked to address. With this combination, the personal is embedded within a synthesis of the current international expertise on the development of the capacity for intimacy in adult sexual relationship.
