Includes bibliographical references. This interdisciplinary study, within the fields of anthropology and medicine, describes my qualitative research as an anthropologist into the mental illness histories of five young Xhosa-speaking men who, within a year of their circumcision, suffered psychotic breakdowns. The study took place in Valkenberg Hospital for the Mentally Unwell and the surrounding disadvantaged, largely Xhosa-speaking communities in Cape Town, South Africa. Numerous admissions were screened over a two-year period, but only these five men met the study criteria. Their case studies describe how they perceived their circumcision and the stresses that may have contributed to the onset of their psychotic illness. 2015-01-04T14:39:45Z 2015-01-04T14:39:45Z 2008 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/11286 eng application/pdf Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
