Igama elithi "psychology" emazweni ama-Arab belilokhu lifaniswa ne-taboo. Kwakungewona umkhuba ukukhuluma ngempilo yengqondo, ngaphandle kweminyango evaliwe kanye nokuhleba. Nokho, ukuphila akumile, umhlaba ushintsha ngokushesha, futhi izakhamuzi zamazwe endabuko yama-Arab ngokungangabazeki zizivumelanisa nezinguquko eziye zavela eNtshonalanga.
Isazi sokusebenza kwengqondo uLinda Sakr wazalelwa e-Dubai, e-UAE kubaba waseLebhanon kanye nomama wase-Iraq. Uthole iziqu zakhe ze-psychology eNyuvesi yaseRichmond eLondon, ngemuva kwalokho waqhubekela nokufunda iziqu ze-masters eNyuvesi yaseLondon. Ngemva kokusebenza isikhathi esithile esikhungweni sokwelapha ngamasiko e-London, uLinda wabuyela e-Dubai ngo-2005, lapho esebenza khona njengodokotela wezengqondo. Engxoxweni yakhe, uLinda ukhuluma ngokuthi kungani ukwelulekwa ngokwengqondo “kwamukelwe” kakhulu umphakathi wama-Arabhu.
Ngaqala ukujwayelana ne-psychology ngisebangeni le-11 futhi ngabe sengiyithanda kakhulu. Bengilokhu nginesithakazelo emqondweni womuntu, ukuthi kungani abantu beziphatha ngezindlela ezithile ezimweni ezihlukahlukene. Umama wayephikisana ngokuphelele nesinqumo sami, wayehlala ethi lona “umqondo waseNtshonalanga”. Ngenhlanhla ubaba wangeseka endleleni yokufeza iphupho lami. Uma ngikhuluma iqiniso, ngangingakhathazeki kakhulu ngokunikezwa umsebenzi. Ngacabanga ukuthi uma ngingawutholi umsebenzi, ngizovula ihhovisi lami.
IPsychology eDubai ngo-1993 yayisathathwa njengento engafanele, kwakukhona ochwepheshe bezengqondo abambalwa ababezilolonga ngaleso sikhathi. Kodwa-ke, ngokubuyela kwami e-UAE, isimo sasithuthuke kakhulu, futhi namuhla ngibona ukuthi isidingo sezazi zokusebenza kwengqondo sesiqale ukudlula ukunikezwa.
Okokuqala, amasiko ama-Arab abona udokotela, umuntu wenkolo, noma ilungu lomndeni njengosizo lokucindezeleka nokugula. Iningi lamakhasimende ami angama-Arab lahlangana nesikhulu samaSulumane ngaphambi kokuza ehhovisi lami. Izindlela zaseNtshonalanga zokweluleka kanye nokwelashwa kwengqondo kuhilela ukuzidalula kweklayenti, owabelana nomelaphi isimo sakhe sangaphakathi, izimo zokuphila, ubudlelwano phakathi kwabantu kanye nemizwelo. Le ndlela isekelwe kumgomo wentando yeningi waseNtshonalanga wokuthi ukuziveza kuyilungelo lomuntu eliyisisekelo futhi kukhona ekuphileni kwansuku zonke. Nokho, ngaphakathi kwesiko lama-Arabhu, ukuvuleleka okunjalo kumuntu ongamazi akwamukelekile. Ukuhlonishwa nesithunzi somndeni kubaluleke kakhulu. Ama-Arabhu abelokhu egwema “ukugeza ilineni elingcolile esidlangalaleni”, ngaleyo ndlela ezama ukusindisa ubuso. Ukusabalalisa isihloko sezingxabano zomndeni kungabonakala njengendlela yokukhaphela.
Okwesibili, kunombono oyiphutha owandile phakathi kwama-Arabhu wokuthi uma umuntu evakashela i-psychotherapist, uyahlanya noma uyagula ngengqondo. Akekho odinga “inhlamba” enjalo.
Izikhathi ziyashintsha. Imindeni ayisenaso isikhathi somunye nomunye njengakuqala. Impilo isiye yaba nengcindezi, abantu babhekana nengcindezi, ukucasuka nokwesaba. Ngenkathi le nkinga ihlasela iDubai ngo-2008, abantu babona nesidingo sosizo lochwepheshe ngoba babengasakwazi ukuphila ngendlela ababephila ngayo.
Ngingasho ukuthi ama-75% amakhasimende ami angama-Arab. Abanye abantu baseYurophu, abase-Asia, abaseNyakatho Melika, abase-Australia, abaseNew Zealand nabaseNingizimu Afrika. Amanye ama-Arabhu akhetha ukubonana nomelaphi wama-Arabhu ngoba azizwa ekhululekile futhi eqiniseka ngokwengeziwe. Ngakolunye uhlangothi, abantu abaningi bayakugwema ukuhlangana nodokotela wengqondo wegazi labo ngenxa yezizathu zokugcinwa kuyimfihlo.
Abaningi banentshisekelo kulolu daba futhi, kuye ngezinga lenkolo yabo, banquma ukwenza isikhathi nami. Lokhu kwenzeka e-Emirates, lapho bonke abantu bangamaSulumane. Qaphela ukuthi ngingumKristu wama-Arab.
Igama lesi-Arabhu elithi junoon (madness, insanity) lisho umoya omubi. Kunenkolelo yokuthi junoon kwenzeka kumuntu lapho umoya ungena kuye. Ngokuyisisekelo ama-Arabhu athi i-psychopathology yizici ezihlukahlukene zangaphandle: izinzwa, amagciwane, ukudla, ubuthi, noma amandla angaphezu kwawemvelo njengeso elibi. Iningi lamakhasimende ami angamaMuslim lafika ku-imam ngaphambi kokuba lize kimi ukuze lisuse iso elibi. Umkhosi ngokuvamile uhlanganisa ukufundwa komthandazo futhi wemukelwa kalula ngumphakathi.
Ithonya lamaSulumane kungqondongqondo yama-Arabhu libonakala embonweni wokuthi konke ukuphila, kuhlanganise nekusasa, “kusezandleni zika-Allah.” Ekuphileni kobushiqela, cishe yonke into inqunywa amandla angaphandle, ashiya indawo encane yomthwalo wemfanelo wokudalelwa komuntu siqu. Lapho abantu bezitika ngokuziphatha okungamukeleki ngokombono we-psychopathological, babhekwa njengokulahlekelwa intukuthelo futhi bathi lokhu kunezici zangaphandle. Kulokhu, abasabhekwa njengomthwalo wemfanelo, bayahlonishwa. Ihlazo elinjalo lithola umArab ogula ngengqondo.
Ukuze agweme ukucwaswa, umuntu onenkinga yemizwa noma yemizwa uzama ukugwema ukubonakaliswa ngamazwi noma ukuziphatha. Kunalokho, izimpawu ziya ezingeni elingokomzimba, umuntu okufanele angakwazi ukulawula phezu kwalo. Lokhu kungenye yezinto ezibangela imvamisa ephezulu yezimpawu zomzimba zokucindezeleka nokukhathazeka phakathi kwama-Arabhu.
Izimpawu ezingokomzwelo azivamile ngokwanele ukuze zenze umuntu emphakathini wama-Arabhu eze ekwelapheni. Isici esinqumayo isici sokuziphatha. Ngezinye izikhathi ngisho nama-allucinations achazwa ngokombono wenkolo: amalungu omndeni woMprofethi Muhammad eza ukuzonikeza imiyalelo noma izincomo.
Kimina kubonakala sengathi ama-Arabhu anomqondo ohluke kancane wemingcele. Isibonelo, iklayenti lingase lingimeme ngokuzithandela emshadweni wendodakazi yalo noma licele ukuba neseshini ekhefi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, njengoba i-Dubai iyidolobha elincane uma kuqhathaniswa, maningi amathuba okuthi uhlangane nekhasimende ngephutha esitolo esikhulu noma enxanxatheleni yezitolo, okungabaphazamisa kakhulu, kuyilapho abanye bezokujabulela ukuhlangana nabo. Elinye iphuzu ubudlelwano nesikhathi. Amanye ama-Arabhu aqinisekisa ukuvakasha kwawo kusasele usuku futhi angase afike sekwephuzile kakhulu ngoba “akhohliwe” noma “awazange alale kahle” noma awazange abonakale nhlobo.
Ngicabanga ukuthi yebo. Ukuhlukahluka kobuzwe kunomthelela ekubekezeleni, ukuqaphela kanye nokuvuleleka emibonweni emisha eyahlukene. Umuntu uvame ukuthuthukisa isimo sengqondo sokuhlanganisa abantu bonke, ukuba semphakathini wabantu bezinkolo ezahlukene, amasiko, izilimi, njalo njalo.
