Abstract summary
The author discussed the development of modern psychiatric care in Nigeria. There are two primary conceptual orientations among mental health workers in the country--the "non-culture bound" and the "culture-bound" approaches to mental health care. The effectiveness of modern psychiatric care in this society might well depend on the extent to which commonly accepted notions of mental illness are accommodated by professional care agents.Study Outcome
