Abstract
The Maori [sic] is on the difficult, discouraging road of adaptation. In this process it is inevitable that the psychological makeup of the individual and the race must play a big part in determining its course. It is with the intention of stressing some of the more important psychological factors affecting the Maori [sic] today, that this thesis has been undertaken. The writers are fortunate in being members of the Maori [sic] race for some of the more intimate problems are inevitably better under stood and appreciated.
