Over Time

This study distinguishes between processes that cause individuals to experience symptoms – destabilisation – and those that are associated with loss of symptoms over time – restitution. It is shown that different clinical, social, and personality variables are associated with each of these processes. Where destabilisation is concerned, it is shown that different variables were associated with the development of symptoms of anxiety and those of depression. Different variables were associated with restitution, and they did not show the same relationship with the symptom dimensions of anxiety and depression as those which were associated with destabilisation.

BackgroundThis study investigates patterns of qat use among 207 Somalis living in London.MethodSubjects were recruited using privileged access interviewing. Somalian interviewers were recruited who shared the same culture as the subjects. Data were collected by means of a structured interview.ResultsOne hundred and sixty-two subjects (78%) had used qat. The majority (76%) used more qat than in Somalia. Some users reported moderate dependence; a minority reported severe problems. Adverse psychological effects included sleep problems, anxiety and depression. Medical problems associated with qat use were rare.ConclusionsQat users who continue to use this drug when it is transplanted from a traditional context may experience difficulties. Qat use can also be seen as playing a positive role in supporting the cultural identity of the Somalian community. Severe problems were rarely reported. Qat consumption should be considered when addressing health-related topics with patients from those communities in which qat use is common.

This article discusses the potential and implementation of agricultural zakat in Akeguraci village. This research aims to study the level of understanding and knowledge of the Akeguraci village farmers in the obligation of paying for zakat, especially agricultural zakat. The method used in this research is a qualitative descriptive analysis based on field research, in the form of direct observation and interviews. The result of this research indicated that the calculation and payment of the zakat of the Akeguraci village community were not following the provisions of Islamic sharia. This problem can be seen from the traditional management of zakat and the minimum level of awareness of farmers in issuing zakat so that their distribution could not be productive and on target. Public understanding reveals about zakat that must be issued is only zakat fitrah and zakat maal. While agricultural zakat has never been issued in any form. Zakat is given just as much as possible, without going through the calculation of agricultural products either by irrigation systems or purchasing water and in mobilizing workers to work to irrigate the fields

In South Africa, traditional healers treat a wide range of health-related problems and culture-bound syndromes considered non-responsive to Western medicine. Given the widespread use of traditional medicine in treating common mental disorders, especially among low-income groups, it is important to explore the self-identification, training, and practices of traditional healers. We also explored traditional healers’ perceptions of collaboration with Western health care institutions (hospitals, clinics). IsiXhosa traditional healers ( n = 50, female = 40, mean age = 52.7 years, SD = 14.7 years) were interviewed using both a structured and a semi-structured interview schedule, including the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Data were analysed using SPSS version 24 and Statistica. Interview notes were typed soon after each interview and thematically analysed. Participants described similar experiences regarding the three steps of becoming a traditional healer and treating clients with mental illness using herbs (90%), candles (82%), and prayer (78%). Self-identification as a spiritualist or sangoma, and type of church attended (African Initiated vs. Mainline Christian) were both significantly associated with traditional healers’ mode of diagnosis and/or treatment. Participants were open about collaborating with Western health care institutions around treating mental health issues. However, this was hampered by mistrust, as evidenced in the reluctance of a few participants to share detailed information about treatment methods.

Effective Treatments

Self-help approaches are popular with patients and can be effective treatments for common mental disorders such as anxiety and depression (Gould & Clum, 1993; Marrs, 1995; Scogin, Bynum, Stephens, & Calhoon, 1990; and Cuijpers, 1997). In spite of this, it is clear that a number of factors should also influence us in how we choose and use self-help materials with our patients.
