This open access book investigates psychiatry in Uganda during the
years of decolonisation. It examines the challenges facing a new
generation of psychiatrists as they took over responsibility for
psychiatry at the end of empire, and explores the ways psychiatric
practices were tied to shifting political and development
priorities, periods of instability, and a broader context of
transnational and international exchange. At its heart is a
question that has concerned psychiatrists globally since the
mid-twentieth century: how to bridge the social and cultural gap
between psychiatry and its patients? Bringing together archival
research with oral histories, Yolana Pringle traces how this
question came to dominate both national and international
discussions on mental health care reform, including at the World
Health Organization, and helped spur a culture of experimentation
and creativity globally. As Pringle shows, however, the history of
psychiatry during the years of decolonisation remained one of
marginality, and ultimately, in the context of war and violence,
the decolonisation of psychiatry was incomplete.
