Culture shapes the expression and understanding of psychological
disturbances and plays a role in the emergence of culture-specific
syndromes. In particular, certain cultures endorse beliefs in
witchcraft, spells and spirits, which fall under the concept
'folklore'. Folklore beliefs like witchcraft and spirit possession
and their assumed impact on the manifestation of psychological
disturbances persist today. It thus becomes apparent that these
cultural aspects will have an impact on how psychological
disturbances are experienced and treated in different communities.
If one is to effectively understand diverse communities, an
exploration of the impact that spiritual beliefs have on community
members' perceptions of psychological disturbance is imperative. By
focusing on the folklore beliefs of South African Muslim and Hindu
community members, this study aims to promote a deeper
understanding of the impact that these beliefs have on perceptions
of psychological disturbances.
