The traditional healer/diviner as psychotherapist
Abstract:
Appreciation of the apparent efficacy of the traditional healer/diviner in the alleviation of psychological disturbances led to an examination of his/her methods and training in comparison to those of the Western psychotherapist. Models of the themes, components and effects of psychotherapy can be seen to be applicable in both instances, although the functions and roles of healers and psychotherapists in their respective societies may differ. The implications of these analyses as regards the enhancement of the effects of therapeutic intervention are examined.
