Izwi rekuti "psychology" munyika yeArab ragara richifananidzwa netaboo. Yakanga isiri tsika kutaura nezveutano hwepfungwa, kunze kwekuseri kwemasuo akavharwa uye nekazevezeve. Zvisinei, hupenyu hahumire, nyika iri kukurumidza kuchinja, uye vagari venyika dzechivanhu dzechiArab pasina mubvunzo vari kujairana neshanduko dzakabva kuMadokero.
Nyanzvi yepfungwa Linda Sakr akaberekerwa muDubai, UAE kuna baba vekuLebanon uye amai vekuIraq. Akawana dhigirii rake repfungwa kubva kuYunivhesiti yeRichmond muLondon, achibva aenda kunodzidzira dhigirii remasters paUniversity yeLondon. Mushure mekushanda kwechinguva paintercultural therapy centre muLondon, Linda akadzokera kuDubai muna 2005, kwaanoshanda sechiremba wepfungwa. Mubvunzurudzo yake, Linda anotaura nezvekuti sei kurairana kwepfungwa kuchiramba “kuchigamuchirwa” neruzhinji rwechiArab.
Ndakatanga kujairana nepsychology ndiri mugiredhi rechi11 ndikabva ndatanga kuifarira. Ndagara ndichifarira pfungwa dzevanhu, nei vanhu vachiita mune dzimwe nzira mumamiriro akasiyana. Amai vangu vaipesana zvachose nechisarudzo changu, vaigara vachitaura kuti iyi yaiva "pfungwa yekuMadokero". Sezvineiwo, baba vangu vakanditsigira munzira yekuzadzisa chishuwo changu. Kutaura idi, ndakanga ndisinganyanyi kunetseka nezvokupiwa basa. Ndakafunga kuti ndikashaya basa ndaizovhura hofisi yangu.
Psychology muDubai muna 1993 yakanga ichiri kunzwisiswa setaboo, pakanga paine chaizvo vashoma vepfungwa vaidzidzira panguva iyoyo. Zvisinei, nekudzoka kwangu kuUAE, mamiriro ezvinhu akanga aita zvakanaka, uye nhasi ndinoona kuti kudiwa kwevadzidzisi vepfungwa kwatanga kudarika kugovera.
Chekutanga, tsika dzechiArab dzinoziva chiremba, munhu wechitendero, kana nhengo yemhuri seyamuro yekushushikana uye kurwara. Vazhinji vevatengi vangu vechiArab vakasangana nemukuru wemosque vasati vauya kuhofisi yangu. Nzira dzekuMadokero dzekupa mazano uye psychotherapy dzinosanganisira kuzviratidza kwemutengi, anogovana nemurapi mamiriro ake emukati, mamiriro ehupenyu, hukama hwevanhu uye manzwiro. Iyi nzira inobva kuWestern democratic musimboti wekuti kuzvitaura ikodzero yakakosha yemunhu uye iripo muhupenyu hwezuva nezuva. Zvisinei, mukati metsika dzechiArab, kusununguka kwakadaro kumunhu wausingazivi hakugamuchirwi. Rukudzo nemukurumbira wemhuri ndizvo zvinonyanya kukosha. MaArabu agara achidzivisa “kugeza machira ane tsvina paruzhinji”, nokudaro achiedza kuchengetedza chiso. Kuparadzira musoro wemakakatanwa emhuri kunogona kuonekwa senzira yekunyengera.
Chechipiri, kune kusanzwisisa kwakapararira pakati pemaArabu kuti kana munhu akashanyira psychotherapist, anopenga kana kurwara nepfungwa. Hapana anoda "stigma" yakadaro.
Nguva dzinoshanduka. Mhuri hadzisisina nguva yokuva nomumwe nomumwe sezvadzaimboita. Upenyu hwava kunyanya kunetseka, vanhu vanotarisana nekuora mwoyo, kugumbuka uye kutya. Pakaitika dambudziko kuDubai muna 2008, vanhu vakaonawo kuti panoda rubatsiro rwenyanzvi nekuti vaive vasisakwanise kurarama sezvavaisimboita.
Ndingati 75% yevatengi vangu maArabu. Vamwe vose ndevekuEurope, vokuAsia, vokuNorth America, vokuAustralia, vokuNew Zealand neveSouth Africa. Mamwe maArabu anosarudza kubvunza murapi wechiArab nekuti vanonzwa vakasununguka uye vane chivimbo. Kune rimwe divi, vanhu vazhinji vanodzivisa kusangana ne psychotherapist yeropa ravo nekuda kwezvikonzero zvekuvanzika.
Vazhinji vanofarira nyaya iyi uye, zvichienderana nehuwandu hwechitendero chavo, vanosarudza kuita musangano neni. Izvi zvinoitika muEmirates, uko vanhu vese vari maMuslim. Ziva kuti ndiri muArabhu muKristu.
Shoko rechiArab rokuti junoon (madness, insanity) rinoreva mweya wakaipa. Zvinofungidzirwa kuti junoon inoitika kumunhu kana mweya wapinda maari. MaArabu mumusimboti anoti psychopathology kune akasiyana ekunze zvinhu: tsinga, utachiona, chikafu, chepfu, kana masimba emweya akadai seziso rakaipa. Vazhinji vevatengi vangu vechiMuslim vakauya kune imam vasati vauya kwandiri kuti vabvise ziso rakaipa. Muitiro wacho unowanzosanganisira kuverenga kwemunyengetero uye unogamuchirwa nyore nyore nenzanga.
Kupesvedzera kwechiIslam papfungwa dzechiArab kunoratidzwa nepfungwa yokuti upenyu hwose, kubatanidza remangwana, huri “mumaoko aAllah.” Mumararamiro ehudzvinyiriri, zvinenge zvinhu zvose zvinosarudzwa nesimba rekunze, izvo zvinosiya nzvimbo duku yebasa rezvaizoitika. Kana vanhu vachiita hunhu husingagamuchirwe kubva kune psychopathological point yekuona, ivo vanoonekwa sevasina kutsamwa uye vanoti izvi kune zvekunze zvinhu. Panyaya iyi, havachanzi vane mutoro, vanoremekedzwa. Kunyadziswa kwakadaro kunogamuchira muArab anorwara nepfungwa.
Kuti adzivise rusarura, munhu ane chirwere chepfungwa kana chetsinga anoedza kudzivisa zviratidzo zvemashoko kana maitiro. Pane kudaro, zviratidzo zvinoenda kuhutano hwemuviri, pamusoro payo munhu anofanirwa kunge asina simba. Ichi ndicho chimwe chezvikonzero zvinokonzera kuwanda kwehuwandu hwezviratidzo zvemuviri zvekuora mwoyo uye kufunganya pakati pemaArabu.
Zviratidzo zvepfungwa hazviwanzo kukwana kuti munhu ari munharaunda yechiArab auye kuzorapwa. Chinhu chinogadzirisa ndicho chimiro chemaitiro. Dzimwe nguva kunyange kufungidzira kunotsanangurwa kubva pakuona kwechitendero: nhengo dzemhuri yeMuporofita Muhammad dzinouya kuzopa mirairo kana mazano.
Zvinoratidzika kwandiri kuti maArabu ane pfungwa yakati siyanei yemiganhu. Semuyenzaniso, mutengi anogona kundikoka nechido kumuchato wemwanasikana wake kana kukumbira kuti tizotandara mucafe. Uye zvakare, sezvo Dubai iguta diki, mikana yakakwira yekuti uchasangana nemutengi netsaona musupamaketi kana mall, izvo zvinogona kuvanetsa zvakanyanya kwavari, nepo vamwe vachifara kusangana navo. Imwe pfungwa ndeye hukama nenguva. Mamwe maArabu anosimbisa kushanya kwawo pachine zuva uye anogona kusvika kwanonoka zvikuru nemhaka yokuti “akakanganwa” kana kuti “haana kurara zvakanaka” kana kuti haana kuoneka.
Ndinofunga hongu. Iyo heterogeneity yemarudzi inobatsira kushivirira, kuziva uye kuvhurika kune matsva akasiyana mazano. Munhu anokombamira kukudziridza chimiro chendangariro chomubatanidzwa, kuva munzanga yavanhu vezvitendero zvakasiyana-siyana, magamuchidzanwa, mitauro, zvichingodaro.
