| Summary: | Many mission leaders have been confronted with counseling problems, although until recently there has been reluctance to incorporate psychopathologies and therapies into training and experience on a professional level. However, Hesselgrave, to cite one example, joins other early pioneers among missiologists in treating such a field in both book and journals as he has probed into psychocultural facets that involve personnel with mental problems. This paper is an effort to diagnose mental illness in a major culture area that is dominated by Islam in values and worldview. The intent is to apply an “emic” (Pike) approach to psychocultural pathologies in order to assist Christians as they employ psychological theory and practice cross-culturally. |
