African psychology

African psychology is the study of the mind and behavior in the context of African cultures and societies. It emphasizes the importance of community, spirituality, and cultural heritage in shaping individual and collective identities. Unlike Western psychology, which often focuses on individualism, African psychology recognizes the interconnectedness of people and their environments. It draws on traditional beliefs, practices, and social structures to understand psychological well-being, addressing issues such as resilience, identity, and mental health within the unique cultural context of Africa. This approach fosters a deeper appreciation for diverse ways of understanding human experience.
