Counseling and Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy, also known as talk therapy, counseling, psychosocial therapy or, simply therapy, can be explained as
a process of discovering and learning where an expert, the Psychotherapist/Counselor and a client work together to
discover events, situations and relationships. The therapeutic process assumes that there are aspects of our lives of
which we are not fully aware. Thus during psychotherapy sessions, the Psychotherapist employs a range of techniques
based on relationship building, dialogue, communication and behavioral change designed to improve your mental
health thus increasing the awareness of your mood, feelings, thoughts, behaviors, dreams and daily reactions to
people and events. Using the insights and knowledge you gain in psychotherapy, you pick up healthy coping skills,
stress management and other expectations which limit much of our untapped creative energy, and vision. The process
affords an opportunity to uncover, describe, explore, learn about and appreciate our perceptions.

COUNSELING AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
Therapy is for Everyone
The common belief that therapy is only meant for people with behavior
problems is wrong. Facts and research has shown that those with serious
behavior problems have the most difficulty of success after therapeutic
sessions. Therapy is most effective in helping healthy people improve
their quality of life, reach personal goals and enhance the quality of their
relationships.
There are many specific types of psychotherapy, each with its own approach
to improving your mental well-being. The type of psychotherapy that’s right
for you depends on your individual situation. For many, the focus of therapy
is on normal every day issues. For couples, the session is to help them work
together to improve the strength of their relationship or contemplate serious
marriage commitments. Other conditions and problems that may benefit
from psychotherapy include, grief and anger management, eating, sleeping, anxiety, bipolar, personality, substance abuse and sexual disorders,
depression and phobias, amongst others.
Dr. Jim Compton, Marriage and Family
Therapist, presenting "Stress...Silent
Danger in Life and Relationships" at the
Marriage and Relationship Seminar
organized by MEF in Smyrna, GA. (2008).
It must be stated clearly that Psychotherapy is not intended to replace the potential role of friends, family or religious organizations;
although psychotherapy may be practiced within a spiritual context, and therefore serve as a useful supplement to an individual’s
religious practices. Therapists are well trained to help put faith to work to repair personal difficulties one may encounter. Through
learning about oneself, the process of therapy can be a very deep and meaningful spiritual experience that can strengthen one’s
faith much better.
The big picture
The purpose of Psychotherapy is not to give advice. The world is full of advice; part of going to a therapist is because we
have been lost in “advice” and need help not more advice. The purpose of therapy is to rediscover your own voice,
your own priorities, career, paranoia, and anxiety. Therapists are trained to see the big picture. “We try to look for what is
behind all the details of a story” the rage, the fear of being left again, or the worry about what’s going to become of you.”
The general goals in psychotherapy are to know ourselves better, to stop judging and fighting our feelings, to stop trying
to change others and to learn to make and keep appropriate boundaries that help define where we stop and others begin.
In general, there’s little risk in using psychotherapy. Because psychotherapy
can explore painful feelings and experiences, you may feel emotionally
uncomfortable at times. Some forms of psychotherapy, such as exposure
therapy, may require you to confront situations you’d rather avoid. This can
lead to temporary distress or anxiety. But the coping skills you learn should
help you later on to manage and conquer distressful feelings and thoughts.
Opanyin Kwadwo Kyere, Ghanaian
International Marriage Counselor
presenting "The Relationship and
You" at the Marriage and Relationship
seminar in Smyrna, GA (2008).

Finally, psychotherapy may not cure a condition or make an unpleasant
situation go away, but it can give you the power to cope in a healthy way
and to feel better about yourself and your life. The state of an economy
depends on the well being of its people. “A sound mind creates a healthy
population, and a healthy population creates a healthy and stable country.”
This makes psychotherapy a very important part of nation building...one
that must never be overlooked. The Peep-ters Institute sets a precedent for
building a solid foundation for widespread quality behavioral healthcare
in Ghana.

‘‘IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO DEPART FROM
THE WORLD WITH YOUR TWO HANDS FULL’’
~ DR. MAYA ANGELO
PEEP-TERS INSTITUTE
History of the Center
The history and the origin of the name Peep-ters was derived from the life experiences of two gentlemen who grew
up in Ghana, West Africa, and were well known by the founder. Charles Addai (aka Charlie Pee) and Atta Peters
(aka Tampo). Charles was an aspiring young man whose educational career came to an abrupt end due to some
disappointments he had in life, and without appropriate counseling intervention, he became depressed, and took
comfort in drinking alcohol and taking drugs. He has since been incapacitated with mental illness, moving from one
spiritual center to another seeking psychological help.
Atta Peters on the other hand, was an intelligent Medical Doctor who practiced both in Ghana and in the United Kingdom,
but due to some stresses in life became depressed and later took his own life by committing suicide in Ghana.
The situations of these gentlemen and many more persuaded the founder to propose the idea to establish Peep-ters
Institute to help change the way psychological care is delivered in Ghana and for that matter in most African communities
where Psychological illness is still seen by a section of the population as an “unshakable stigma”.
Proposed
New Center
MISSION AND GOAL
To treat the personality of the individual because the personality is the soil in which addiction, mood disorders
and other behavioral problems are planted. Peep-ters purpose is to tend that soil to make the personality fertile
so that recovery will grow deep roots and blossom.

HISTORY OF
PSYCHOLOGICAL CENTERS IN GHANA
MEF proposes
a network of
treatment centers
throughout West
Africa similar to this
facility operated by
MEF in Akradi,
Akosombo, Ghana
Ghana has three major psychiatric hospitals: Accra
Psychiatric Hospital, Ankaful Mental Hospital, and Pan
Tang Mental Hospital. The Accra Psychiatric Hospital,
which is almost a hundred years old, has twenty-four
units with about one thousand, one-hundred and sixtytwo patients currently admitted.
The British Colonial Government originally built Accra
Psychiatric hospital like a prison to house patients who
were wild and/or uncontrollable. The high walls and other
features of a prison still remain as painful reminders of
how mentally ill people were treated during the colonial
days. Ankaful and Pantang Hospitals are forty and thirty
years old respectively.

TREMENDOUS NEED FOR SERVICES,

Situational Analysis
The number of reported cases of suicidal death in Ghana for 2009 alone stands at 21,500. Most cases resulted
from the complex interaction of depression, substance abuse, social isolation, relationship difficulties and workplace problems (International Association for Suicide Prevention IASP Ghana).
Suicide is a disturbing event in any setting for the individual and the people who are connected to that person.
Suicide deaths exact tremendous and tragic psychological, social and economic cost to a nation (IASP, Ghana).
“It is estimated that 400 million people who live in low and middle income countries have psychological illnesses.
Half of these people receive inadequate health care and the other half receive none” (World Health Organization).
Ghana is no exception.
“In Ghana it is estimated that 40% of the population of over 24 million people suffer from moderate to mild
disorder, but the treatment gap is 98% of the total population expected to have a mental disorder” .
(Ghana Chief Psychiatrist Officer). Only 2% of those in need are currently receiving treatment.
“Ghana has a very serious drug problem, the high incidence of drug abuse and use is a result of the use of the
country as a trans-shipment center, where drugs from South America are transported to Europe through Ghana.
Although the hard drugs are not meant for the country’s market, the dealers had to sell some in Ghana to pay off
couriers and bribes” (Dr. Asare, Member of the International Narcotics Control Board, Vienna, Austria).
“The total value of illegal drugs trafficked through Ghana has risen to more than $2 billion, higher than Ghana’s
annual gold export” (United States-Africa Command (AFRICOM), Ambassador Mary Carlin Yates).
“Though Ghana produces 15 Clinical Psychologists every year, most of these professionals are not employed in
the Health Services. The few whose services are engaged are not even paid” (Dr. Samuel Atindanbila, lecture of
Psychology, University of Ghana Legon).
Treatment Options
“Since there are no adequate detox programs, and long-term treatment environment in Ghana where abusers
psychological and social needs could be met, they result in going back to using drugs. Also, stigma attached to
people visiting the psychiatric hospitals often prevent many people with drug related problems from receiving
medical attention” (Dr. Asare, Member of the International Narcotics Control Board, Vienna, Austria).
“The prevention of suicide in Ghana has not been adequately addressed due to basic lack of awareness of suicide
and the associated taboo in society to discuss it openly. There is compelling evidence indicating that adequate
prevention and treatment of depression, alcohol and substance abuse can reduce suicide rates in Ghana” (Network
for Anti-Suicide and Crisis, Ghana).

THE BENEFITS OF THE PROJECT
TO GHANA AND BEYOND WHEN COMPLETED
The institute is the first of its kind with structured treatment guidelines for its clients, rehabilitation in Ghana.
Ghanaian Professionals and others now have access to a modern, well-equipped center for Psychological interventions.
Peep-ters Institute with the help of other organizations helps to educate the community to reduce stigma and to encourage Psychological counseling and psychotherapy as a way of life for individuals to grow and develop.
The center is an excellent resource for Student internships from nursing, medical, social, and psychological programs.
The center’s goal is to reduce substance abuse related incidences by 12% in five years to strengthen families and
communities and to help control the psychological, social and economic costs within Ghana.
Modern, effective and affordable Psychotropic medication is now available to help treat mental illness and addiction.
The work of Clinical Psychologists and behavioral healthcare professionals would be more valued and appreciated which
will help to bridge the salary gap with other professions in Ghana.

ABOUT GHANA
Capital City
Accra, Ghana
About ~ Accra, Ghana
In 1957, Ghana became the first Sub-African nation to gain independence from colonial rule. Accra is the capital city
of Ghana. After a number of failed government experiments to manage the country, in 1992, Ghana reintroduced civil
rule under a new democratic Constitution and jump-started private sector economic reforms. As a result, Ghana today
is politically stable, and its economy has performed well with GDP growth and it is expected to remain at a higher level
for a long time.
Ghana is located on the Gulf of Guinea, with a population of 24 million people. Ghana remains one of the promising
and attractive economies in Africa and is projected to receive in excess of $500 million in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI)
in the years to come. Ghana is the second largest producer of cocoa beans, for chocolate, in the world, and has substantial quality gold reserves. Additionally, the recent discovery of a large quantity of oil in the coastal line of the country
makes it a favorable country for western investments.
Governments and investors predict a boost in FDI and economic expansion in the years to come. Ghana remains a
source and a major gateway to Africa for new ideas, political, cultural and social trends. Ghana also enjoys a respected
leadership role among African countries.
