Full textIn this thesis, we propose to study the psychological problems presented by Rwandese survivors of the genocides and massacres which have occurred in Rwanda since 1994. We first briefly present Rwanda through a critical account of the specificities and contradictions linked to population settlement and the hutu-tutsi conflicts. We describe Rwanda rites connected with death and highlight their importance for peace of the living. We inventory the events of 1994 and present a few proposition towards repair. We evaluate the impact of trauma suffered by Rwandese living either in France (in and around Paris) or in Kenya (in and around Nairobi). We highlight the peculiarities of Rwandan culture. In this way, we hope to contribute to scientific research by elaborating a local theory of trauma in parallel with the general "Occidental" theory. In the clinical part of this research, which consists of psychological help sessions with Rwandese families living in France, we resort to the clinical resources of ethnopsychiatry. To us it appears necessary, in order to understand and help traumatized Rwandese people, to lean on historical, socio-demographical, anthropological and political notions in the earnest search of a meaning for the recent events. Individual psychotherapy in such a population is not only inadequate, but can even lead to worsening the trauma. The ambition of this research is to end up constructing an intervention tool to be used by all those who wish to bring some help to the Rwandese

Full textIn the current context of Rwandan society, the state of mental health becomes a matter of concern for many. Traumas resulting from the Rwandan Genocide in 1994 constitute the most crippling and frequent mental disorders. Psychiatric care in Rwanda faces a lot of difficulties, not only in terms of resources in a country emerging from chaos, but also in terms of theoretical background. Therefore Rwandans find that psychiatric care only slowly, if at all, meets their expectations. In Rwandan society after genocide, mental health is part of a social project of reconstruction and cannot just only engage individuals. It lies at the centre of a new way of living together, which includes new values, as essential as the old ones, such as social harmony, community participation, and personal commitment. Faced with the horror of a genocide of this magnitude, all professionals wonder about the efficiency of their approaches. Especially since genocide survivors show the way: they have diverse therapeutic paths, mixing different fields of treatment, successively moving from one domain of care to another – medicine, traditional healers, pastors… –, keeping all at the same time. In these diverse itineraries of care, the researcher has to be aware that the new (evangelic) Christian churches take up a special position. This thesis attempts to respond to a set of questions: What is the contribution of new Christian churches to the alleviation of the psychical sufferings of the survivors of the genocide of Tutsi in Rwanda? What is the role of the therapist-pastor in Rwanda today? What are the therapeutic methods and techniques used by these therapists-pastors? Should their success be regarded as a consequence of the limits of scientific medicine, locked up in the biological at the expense of the psychosocial and spiritual? What is the contribution of Christian churches in the reconstitution of social ties of Rwandans? For the survivors of the Rwandan genocide (and for others Rwandans too), the therapist-pastor is an elected being, a person worthy of respect. He is perceived as the “therapist of the people”, irrespective of ethnic distinction. They massively rely on him in their search of the meaning of what they’ve been through, personally or collectively. Their consider his language to be of a liturgic and therapeutic nature that can liberate, reconcile them and also resocialise traumatised and diffracted Banyarwanda. What distinguishes the treatment by conventional medecine and psychiatry from the collective health care by these churches is that the former cares about symptoms, it is mechanistic ; while the latter refers to a transcendent Principle, to the Absolute, it is psycho-social and holistic. It is the investigation into the causes of sufferings that radically distinguishes these two approaches : the latter seems to correspond more profoundly to the mental universe of the Rwandans. The required bridge between these two device of care is still to built

Full textIn Rwandan society, the child is a treasure to be protected. But those who survived the genocide and massacres of 1994 present post traumatic troubles which are stopping them from following a normal school education. The current situation in Ruanda brings to mind the neuroses occasioned by war, which Louis Crocp calls post traumatic stress syndrome. The DSM-III defines post traumatic stress syndrome as the reliving of the traumatic event, reduction of contact with the exterior world, and a variety of neurovegetative, dysphoric and cognitive symptoms. The survey carried out amongst the parents, the “teachers” and children confirms that the post traumatic stress syndrome is closely linked to the war in 1994, and shows the degree of psychological damage caused by the war especially in the children and the young people of 8-20 years. In this situation, education is one of the principal tools for reintegrating the victims of these dramas. The aim of education is to help children to reorganise their defences, and to rebuild their self esteem in order to get over the traumatism and reconstruct an identity bruised by the genocide. Faced with the psychological suffering of the children, we turned to the use of storytelling as the educational and therapeutic medium. Storytelling has had positive effects on the children who are in the CENA in Kigali. The effects have shown themselves by the willingness of the children to recount their past through traditional Rwandan stories and stories which they made up ; for some this is the beginning of mourning and for others a way of increasing their resilience. It has enabled them to make a step towards psychosocial integration. Analysis of the grid for self esteem show convincingly that story telling has helped to reduce the children's suffering by increasing their self esteem ; so it is worthwhile getting children to work at storytelling so that they can distance themselves from the genocide and project themselves into the future

Full textThis thesis deals with the extreme violence suffered by the Tutsi people of Rwanda during the genocide of 1994. I also explore the means which have been used to confront and overcome this traumatic past. Using a phenomenological approach, the theme is introduced by means of the portraits of survivors. A first part of the work attempts to to write the 'history' of the hill of Nyamagumba based on the stories and eye-witness accounts of survivors, interviews with some of those who carried out the genocide, analysis of official speeches and also of what is really at stake during commemoration ceremonies and the gacaca judicial sessions. A second part focuses on the young – students and survivors of the genocide – on how they live with the traumatic past and the way in which they see their future. These portraits of the young are discussed in the context of a collective reconstruction, especially with regard to the ceremonies of commemoration. With the aim of meditating on suffering and the ways in which it can be overcome, this present work brings to light both the form and the content of how the traumatic experiences of genocide may be put into the words. Words are seen as a means of transformation of the self and one's relationship with others. The power of the word is the main thread of all my reflections on the subject. In considering, one after the other, metaphors of silence and of suffering and the words pronounced in the cause of justice, collective reconciliation and the emergence of a 'shared history' which seeks to restore the social fabric so affected by the genocide, this thesis works towards a reflection on the significance of poetry as a form of healing
