This paper attempts to address the way in which a phenomenon that has been constructed within a traditional African framework, is confronted by and reinterpreted within a western psychiatric framework. This in turn may shed light on the way in which psychiatric and traditional discourses may be used in the process of the formation of a collectively accepted understanding of ukuthwetyulwa. The study provides the opportunity to explore the relationship between psychiatric and traditional discourses surrounding ukuthwetyulwa, at a moment in history when the issue of traditional healing practice and its relationship to psychiatry is increasingly on the agenda of mental health policy makers in South Africa. 2015-07-14T08:56:29Z 2015-07-14T08:56:29Z 1996 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13480 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
