Abstract
ABSTRACT In 1975, at the age of 65, Dr Maatje Vera Bührmann began a decade-long cross-cultural psychiatry research project in the former Ciskei in which she used a Jungian framework to explicate the methods of a Xhosa igqira (healer). From this work, for which she continues to be widely lauded in some circles, a mythology arose which portrays her as an exemplar of someone who transcended the racial politics of the radical Afrikaner nationalism she had embraced in the 1940s. In this article I present evidence from her writings and associated archival sources that challenges this view.
Vera Bührmann博士（1910–1998）：从Volksmoeder到Igqira？重新审视一个流行神话
1975年，65岁的Maatje Vera b hrmann博士开始了一项长达十年的跨文化精神病学研究项目，在该项目中，她使用荣格框架来解释科萨治疗师的方法。从这部作品中，她继续在某些圈子里受到广泛赞誉，一个神话将她描绘成一个超越种族政治的典范，她在20世纪40年代接受了激进的阿非利卡民族主义。在这篇文章中，我从她的著作和相关的档案来源中提出了挑战这一观点的证据。
