The aim of this module is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts, principles and assumptions of African Psychology. The specific objective of the module is to make the thoughts, beliefs, positive cultural practices and assumptions, ways of knowing and of questioning misfortune, fears and uncertainties, interests and needs, and lived experiences of the African peoples and their societies, past and present, a subject of academic enquiry. In effect, the unique subject matter and the key concerns and challenges of African Psychology will be discussed, with particular attention given to the ways in which the knowledge of African Psychology can positively promote improved practice of holistic mental health in contemporary Africa.
