- Summary:
- A Yoruba village, about 60 miles from Lagos, has been recruited to accept as residents a significant number of psychiatric patients from the teaching hospital of the University of Ibadan. Accepting them as equal colleagues in the therapeutic process, Dr. Thomas Lambo works closely with the village headman and the village shaman/healer in an attempt to effect a cure. Each patient is accompanied by a member of his own family, but it differs from classical community-based healing, insofar as the the patients are not originally from the village.
