Includes bibliographical references (leaves 164-191). A number of African countries have made attempts to officially recognize traditional healers as health care providers and South Africa is no exception. South Africa has made substantial progress in officially recognizing traditional medicine and its integration into the primary healthcare system. The Traditional Health Practitioners Bill and the draft policy on African Traditional Medicine are examples of this. However, there is limited data on traditional healers and their practices specifically for mental health concerns. This thesis attempts to address this gap by conducting four separate studies. 2015-01-13T04:02:57Z 2015-01-13T04:02:57Z 2009 Doctoral Thesis Doctoral PhD http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12134 eng application/pdf Department of Psychiatry and Mental Health Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
