摘要

This theoretical dissertation argued for the need to develop alternative humanistic paradigms that can help Euro-American psychology address issues of individualism and ethnocentrism and contribute to our appreciation of the value of interdependence. The paradigm proposed is rooted in the philosophical construct of an African belief system known in South Africa as Ubuntu. Ubuntu is known by many different names across the continent of Africa, but the underlying philosophy finds clear expression through sub-Saharan Africa. Ubuntu locates identity and meaning in the importance of human connections and an interrelated self rather than individual expression and has played a significant role in the psychological well-being and resilience of indigenous Africans for countless generations.;The potentialities of utilizing Ubuntu as a humanistic paradigm have heretofore been unexamined. In this dissertation, an interpretive hermeneutic method was employed to explore the philosophy of Ubuntu and review relevant literature from humanistic psychology, critical psychology, indigenous psychologies, Eastern philosophies/psychology, liberation psychology, African psychology, the practice of psychology as it has evolved in South Africa, and African humanism. This dissertation also examined the differences between individualistic and sociocentric or communalistic societies, highlighting the contrasting constructs and expression of self.;In support of pragmatic application, the results of earlier research into the potential use of Ubuntu within child and adolescent residential treatment facilities were included, indicating that Ubuntu should be explored further as a tool of significant therapeutic promise. Overall findings suggested that Ubuntu offers Euro-American psychology unique opportunities to correct self-centered biases in understanding the self and provides humanistic ways of being in the world that are authentic, holistic, and relationally responsible.
