Abstract
The issue of emotional numbing is a serious emotional challenge among the adolescents
and which is greatly impacting on them negatively and sometimes goes unnoticed until
the damage is done. The study explored the concept of emotional numbing, its symptoms
and the causes for a clear understanding of the phenomenon. It also examined the
Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT), its core processes as a suitable therapeutic
property to resolve the emotional problem of the adolescents who go through such pain.
The ACT is a process and mindfulness model which promotes psychological flexibility
through fostering openness, awareness and engagement as illustrated in its six core
processes. It was observed that the ACT promotes emotional awareness through the
functions of the six core processes of the ACT model and as a result, could be adopted to
manage the challenges of emotional numbing among the adolescents. The researchers
therefore recommend that the therapists identify such adolescents in the schools and
address their issues with the ACT model.

Abstract
In rural African communities, traditional healers hold an esteemed and powerful position
in the diagnosis and treatment of various illnesses. They assume a significant role in
addressing the mental health care needs of individuals by offering cultural appropriate
treatment and they are easily accessible. This was a qualitative study, and specifically,
the case study method was utilised. Ten traditional healers were chosen through
purposive and snowball sampling to participate in the study. Data was collected through
semi-structured interviews and analysed using the thematic analysis method. The findings
revealed that several procedures (like throwing of bones and direct observation of
patient’s behaviours) are used to diagnose mental illness. The findings also revealed that
mental illness can be treated through the use of traditional remedies and practices (like
rituals). From the findings of the study, it can be suggested that both traditional medical
interventions and some culturally relevant psychological procedures are used to treat
mental illness. Increased cooperation between western oriented psychotherapists and
African traditional healers is therefore highly recommended.
