PREFACE
Medical Anthropology is the study of human health, disease, treatment, prevention, and health care system. This includes the scientific study of humanity, human behavior, human biology, culture, linguistics, and societies, in the past, present, and future. Medical Anthropology investigates and examines people’s health and illness in the context of understanding their bodies and souls. Medical Anthropology draws upon social, cultural, biological, and linguistic phenomena. Clinical Psychology, by definition, is the study of the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness or mental disorders. Clinical Psychology includes dealing with various mental conditions, including depression, manic depression bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Clinical Psychology integrates science, theory, and clinical knowledge about a total person. The gist of this book, the “Philosophy of Integration of Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology,” is to explore and put into the right perspectives, the understanding of human ( Anthropos ), in Greek and the soul, ( Psych ), in Greek, originally, meaning “the soul, mind, spirit” or invisible entity that occupies the physical body. This book explores the integration of Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology, putting the right perspective of human biology and the soul.
I dedicate this book to my five children, Blessing Qhawelenkosi, Shalom Sinqobile, Prosper Thandolwenkosi, Emmanuel Nkosilathi, and Joseph Nkosana who love sciences, and my lovely wife, Judith Gasela Mhlanga, for encouragement, inspiration, and support. This book is also dedicated to Leeroy, Milile, Zion Nyathi, Nomasonto Nxumalo, Barbara Sibanda, Catherine and Jeremiah Pemberton, Marsha, Priscilla Mutisi, Munirah, Maka and Phetheni and Sibusiso Ndlovu. I also dedicate this book to the University of Washington where I did my non-matriculated Ph.D. and to Walden University in Minnesota where I did my Clinical Psychology-Forensic Ph.D. The courses I took from these two Universities, conscientious of my love for Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology, have shone a light on the quest for biology and soul, mind, and spirit. In Medical Anthropology, human health, diseases, treatment, and prevention will be discussed in depth. In Clinical Psychology, mental health issues for both the adolescents and adults will be explored and analyzed for the impact it has been on human health.
INTRODUCTION
This book has been written with a lot of thought, desire, and intellectual pursuit with the quest to understand the integration of Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology. Medical Anthropology is the study of human health, disease, treatment, prevention, and health care system. This includes the scientific study of humanity, human behavior, human biology, culture, linguistics, and societies, in the past, present, and future. Medical Anthropology investigates and examines people’s health and illness in the context of understanding their bodies and souls. Medical Anthropology draws upon social, cultural, biological, and linguistic phenomena. Clinical Psychology, by definition, is the study of the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness or mental disorders. Clinical Psychology includes dealing with various mental conditions, including depression, manic depression bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia. Clinical Psychology integrates science, theory, and clinical knowledge about a total person. The gist of this book, the “Philosophy of Integration of Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology,” is to explore and put into the right perspectives, the understanding of human ( Anthropos ), in Greek and the soul, ( Psych ), in Greek, originally, meaning “the soul, mind, spirit” or invisible entity that occupies the physical body. This book explores the integration of the understating of Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology, putting to order human biology and the soul.
In this book, Medical Anthropology will be defined, discussed, and explored to understand its origins, its purpose, and what it anticipates achieving human in development in societies, linguistics, archaeology, cultures, and biology. In the same vein, Clinical Psychology will be discussed, explored, and analyzed for its impact on human health, including children’s health and young adults and adults.
Chapter One discusses Medical Anthropology. Chapter Two explores Clinical Psychology. Chapter three elucidates Biblical health for the body, mental capability, soul, and spirit. Chapter Three contrasts the Medical versus Biblical approach toward human health. Furthermore, in Chapter Four, the contrast is explored between Psychology and Biblical solutions to human health. The branches of Medical Anthropology such as Biomedical, Sociomedical, and Epistemology are explored. Chapter Five of the book discusses Medical Anthropology and Archeology theory and methods, Empirical methods, and Biocultural that impact human health. Government and Civil Society’s impacts on human health are explored also. Medical Anthropology and Clinical Psychology are summarized, to conclude the chapters. This is my 8 th book, and this book means a lot to me and it is more interesting and fascinating because it reveals my passion to reach out to human health and human soul. Buckle up, friends, and get ready to peruse and plunge into the oasis of knowledge and wisdom of God, displayed in humanity. You will learn about human ingenuity, human capabilities, human endeavors, human innovation, and of course, human limitations and uncertainties as they struggle and wrestle with self-identity, self-awareness, social awareness, and their destiny until they sought the sovereign creator and sustainer of the source of life, God.
