摘要

祈祷营是治疗仪式的环境,在许多加纳人的精神、经济和社会生活中继续发挥着重要作用。在本文中,我将介绍祈祷营作为加纳精神疾病患者的医疗机构继续发挥着重要作用的原因。文章认为,由于潜在的宗教文化信仰和与疾病相关的观念,特别是从传统加纳阿坎人的角度来看,以及国有精神病院可支配的资源不足,祈祷营将继续对公众产生影响,并在治疗精神疾病方面发挥主导作用。

Healing and Mental Illness in Ghana
Prayer camps serve as an environment for healing rituals and continue to play an important role in the lives of many Ghanaians spiritually, economically, and socially. In this article, I present the reasons for prayer camps’ continuing reliance as institutions of healthcare for individuals suffering from mental illnesses in Ghana. The article argues that prayer camps will continue to exert public influence and play a dominant role in the treatment of mental health sicknesses due to underlying religio-cultural beliefs and notions associated with illness, especially from the traditional Ghanaian Akan perspective and the inadequate resources at the disposal of state-owned psychiatric hospitals.
