Rethinking Disenchantment and the Immanent Frame in Mental Health – Camillia Kong

Mental illness conditions are understood and treated in different ways across the globe. There are some who think that we should push forward a globalist view of mental health. In this view, the way communities in the Global South treat these conditions is contrasted with the Global North approach, which would be the standard approach. According to the globalist views, we have, in the West, secular medicine and human rights, while in the Global South, we have a collection of superstitions and spirituality. However, not only the so-called Western approach is flawed, there are many problems with this paternalistic view on the way communities in the Global South deal with these mental health conditions. In this lecture, Camillia Kong provides a philosophical diagnosis of the roots of the deficiencies in the globalist views. She also analyses the complexities of the non-secular approaches, especially by exploring the “spirit child” phenomena in Ghana. This is the fourteenth and final lecture in the London Lecture Series 2023/24, which this year is on the subject of Madness and Mental Health.

Previously she was the Principal Investigator of the AHRC-funded Judging Values and Participation in Mental Capacity Law Project. Camillia has research expertise on medico-legal conceptualisation of mental capacity, the ethics of psychiatry and psychiatric genomics, and the hermeneutics and phenomenology of mental disorder. She has particular interest in intersections between Western and African normative thought and practice in approaches to mental disorder and intellectual disability. Other areas of Camillia’s work explore how relational and gender contexts impact the development of selfhood and mental disorder and conceptions of intellectual disability, and how these contexts intersect with the construction of legal agency.
