Perspectives on indigenous therapeutic interventions on death and bereavement in Kenya

Abstract

This study examines therapeutic interventions on death and bereavement in the indigenous society in Kenya through personal resonance with texts written by Kenyans on explicit and implicit indigenous therapeutic interventions on death and bereavement. Similar literature from foreign countries and my personal experiences help to highlight central issues the texts raise.

The introduction indicates that indigenous therapeutic interventions are still alive in a changed and changing Kenya, interactions and reflections demonstrate therapy on death and bereavement implicit in indigenous beliefs and practices, and the conclusion indicates some lessons learnt from indigenous therapeutic interventions. The references document works cited while the appendix contains poems and literary excerpts cited in the work.
