Countries of a multicultural nature, such as South Africa, tend to experience challenges whenever psychotherapy is involved, because most training in psychotherapy is based on Western and European models of illness, health, and healing. Applying the Western- and European-based principles of illness and health to non-Western or non-European clients tends to result in conflict, which is explored in this article. Most African communities operate on the principle of ubuntu, a concept that broadly refers to communality, oneness, cooperation, and sharing. The article proposes an alternative psychotherapy called ubuntu therapy that is based on the ubuntu concept and is aimed at incorporating the African culture into psychotherapy. This article explores the values and traditions inherent in the ubuntu concept and their influence on the conceptualization of mental health problems. On the basis of these values, a model of conducting ubuntu therapy is presented. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
