Abstract

A great number of foreign NGOs have established programs in northern Uganda to treat mental ill health following the armed conflict. In this article, I explore how NGOs train local Acholi counselors to work with psychiatric notions of trauma and practice counseling with local clients. The training of counselors and the practice of psychotherapeutic counseling cultivates specific notions of what trauma is and how the mind works. I show how psychiatric concepts are introduced and practiced in new settings and reshaped by local concerns, while I contribute theoretically by framing these within an attentional learning approach.

乌干达北部冲突后的心理训练理论。

许多外国非政府组织在乌干达北部建立了治疗武装冲突后精神疾病的方案。在这篇文章中，我探讨了非政府组织如何培训当地的Acholi咨询师处理精神创伤的概念，并与当地客户进行咨询。心理咨询师的培训和心理治疗咨询的实践培养了什么是创伤以及心灵如何运作的具体概念。我展示了精神病学概念是如何在新的环境中被引入和实践的，以及如何被当地的关注所重塑的，而我的理论贡献是通过在注意力学习方法中构建这些概念。

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
