For the first time, autobiographical notes of an African on his own
psychosis are presented in print. Mr. Tanka's experiences are
related to problems of his environment, characterized by cultural
change. Information on his tribe, the Menka, and psychiatric
comments provide the necessary background for the notes. The course
of Mr. Tanka's illness, followed for twelve years, illustrates
results of the International Pilot Study on Schizophrenia (IPSS) of
the WHO that schizophrenia in patients from traditional cultures
often has a favourable prognosis.
