This book focuses on the people of rural Ghana, many of whom
obviously mentally ill, who came to the shrines of a new religious
movement for help. This book effectively demonstrates that
psychiatric illness must be understood through the ideology and
value system of the society in which it appears. This book has
broad theoretical and methodological implications for both
psychiatric and anthropological research, and makes an important
contribution to the understanding of an aspect of African life that
has long been neglected.
