dc.description.abstractThis 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.en_ZA
