Description

This scholarly examination explores the counselling approaches and techniques practised by Yoruba traditional healers in Nigeria, analysing how cultural context shapes healing methods and professional practice. Drawing on videotape recordings and direct interviews conducted by a researcher from the Yoruba ethnic group, the book documents the specific functions and roles traditional healers perform within Yoruba cultural settings. The work demonstrates how cultural frameworks fundamentally influence the counselling techniques employed by both modern professionals and traditional healers, providing insights into the intersection of anthropology, sociology and traditional medicine practices in West African communities.
