As Salaam Alaykum ya Ukwaty wa Akawaty,
I am currently carrying out research for my MSc dissertation. It is in Medical Anthropology, and my Professor has suggested I look at Islam and psychiatry, both historically and contemporarily.
Most of my research for this dissertation is likely to be based around secondary sources (i.e. Literature review), but as I once again have access to this forum, I thought that it might be a good place to ask questions and/or sound out some hypotheses.
Hopefully my MSc dissertation will lead onto a PhD programme, which will see me able to carry out primary research with traditional healers on the ground in the Levant. I've already been discussing this with a coordinator and I will probably be based out of Amman with its easy access to the whole of Bilad As Sham, but also the close Maghrib, i.e. Aegypt.
I was hoping that I might initiate a discussion of your experience of traditional healers, either first hand, familial, or by how ever many degrees of separation might apply.
I'm more than happy to expand upon my research to date, as this may allow us to set the boundaries of what might be usefully discussed.
Jazak Allahu Khiran,
Allah Hafiz.
