Taking into account the various abuses to which the discipline of psychology in Africa has been put, it focuses on closing the gap between theory and practice, and examines the manifestation of coloniality and colonialism for Africa.
This book addresses the need for an exploration of indigenous knowledge of psychological healing within the context of African cultures and politics and afterlives of colonial historical harms. Taking into account the various abuses to which the discipline of psychology in Africa has been put, it focuses on closing the gap between theory and practice, and examines the manifestation of coloniality and colonialism for Africa. In this regard, it demonstrates that African psychology must be embedded within the cosmologies of Africentric and Afrocentric thought. It interrogates the area of therapeutic practice, while incorporating it an empirical context. Both researchers and practitioners interested in African psychology will find a thoughtful and scientifically -based exploration of this area.
