Abstract

Indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) have been recognised for their value in various cultural contexts, including psychology practice. A qualitative approach using semi-structured interviews with practitioners was employed to explore the role of IKS in therapeutic settings.

Further research should focus on developing guidelines for incorporating IKS in contemporary therapeutic frameworks while ensuring ethical standards are met.
