Healing Insanity: A Study of Igbo Medicine in Contemporary Nigeria (2010) was published by Xlibris Corporation in USA. The book is concerned with first of all to be a groundbreaking attempt to study and explain what is Igbo medicine and why is it central to Igbo culture up to today? When people show efforts to explain how they feel and deal with their health issues and society, they are telling a strong story practitioners and governments faced with health care policies and developments need to capture. Dr. Patrick Iroegbu uniquely worked out a challenging ethnography of Igbo medicine with a focus on insanity, ara, and shows how dynamic Igbo medicine and culture shape one another and respond to people's health care needs produced by the culture. The text is obviously well written and illustrates the endogenous dimensions of conceiving illness, exploring resources and administering care and support in an enduring Igbo village. Policy issues were raised and strategies to advance a combined health care dynamics were also brilliantly suggested. This book has been described as an outstanding ethnographic piece that has opened new research theory, case studies, body-centered expereinces, insights and technics, including a vision for health care development in Nigeria and elsewhere. A must read contribution to social science. Get your copy online at Orders.Xlibris.com
