Crime has become so much part of the daily routine of the average South African, that it is almost accepted as the norm.

- Description: D.Litt. et Phil. (Psychology) , It is with the conclusion of the last century and the advent of this current one, that we see the previously private matters of spirituality brought out into open social life. The world, particularly the Western world, seems to be hungry for spirituality. The causes of this hunger for spirituality are numerous and beyond the scope of this study. Particular mention, however, needs to he made of the role played by the principles of modernism and patriarch in twentieth century western society in precipitating a spiritual deprivation.

- Date: 2014-05-08
- Subjects: Psychotherapy - South Africa - Cross-cultural studies
- Type: Thesis
- Identifier: uj:10953 , http://hdl.handle.net/10210/10526
- Description: M.A. (Clinical Psychology) , The present study, in an attempt to provide conceptual clarification of issues surrounding cross-cultural psychotherapy in South Africa, explores a variety of problems which may arise in the practice of psychotherapy in this context. This involves an examination of the implications of a notion of culture for the broader socio-political context in this country. Interviews were conducted with qualified clinical psychologists who work in contexts where they are engaged in psychotherapy with people from different cultural backgrounds in order to obtain qualitative data regarding their perceptions and conceptualisations of cross-cultural psychotherapy. It was found that themes similar to those elicited from a review of the relevant literature were discussed by the psychologists that were interviewed. These themes are conceptualised as a dialectic which is then explored using the framework of cybernetic complementarities. A conceptual clarification of cross cultural-psychotherapy is presented in an attempt to resolve this dialectic. Recommendations for further research in this context are made.
