Concept traditionnel de la folie et difficultés thérapeutiques psychiatriques chez les Moosé du Kadiogo

Abstract: L'exercice de la psychiatrie en Afrique au Sud du Sahara se heurte à de nombreux problêmes d'acceptabilité des soins par les malades et leurs familles. Le rejet fréquent de la démarche thérapeutique des psychiatres s'explique peut-être par l'inadaptation de l'approche étiopathogénique. En effet, en Afrique Noire, les responsables des maladies diffèrent selon qu'on a été à l'école ou non.
