Abstract

Two hundred subjects, 100 each from urban and rural areas of a Nigerian ethnic group were administered questionnaires and given interviews to determine variables shaping their preferred mode of treatment between traditional and Western forms of psychotherapy. Education was found to play an insignificant role among the present subjects as the educated literate subjects continue to indicate considerable interest for traditional treatment. Location was shown to have a significant effect on the treatment choice made by the subjects especially among the rural subjects. The implications of these findings for treatment provision are discussed.
