This study is for a large professional audience, not only for psychologists; it is interesting to a wide range of scholars. Re-examining psychology: Critical perspectives and African insights is a valuable for psychologists and others from the African continent, and the developing world, but perhaps it is most valuable for Western psychologists.

“When the indigenous psychologies are incorporated into a universal framework, we will have a universal psychology.” Triandis (1996
​
At present, many nations have already acquired, or are in the process of acquiring, a multicultural national identity, which would consequently require a psychology — or psychologies — conscious of different ethnicities and yet able to transcend ethnocentrism.  Students engage in dialogue  about psychology's critical traditions and Africa’s traditions seems to be leading the way to such a multicultural psychology that fully cares for human beings in their natural and social environments.

The first part of the course evolves around exposing the need for revising psychology's underlying assumptions.

Our vision is to redeem Western psychology through criticizing it, while additionally exploring Africa’s psychology and culture, and shows both of these as valuable and beneficial. We ascribe to Africa’s psychology and culture the potential to heal the Western world of its shortcomings in holism:

In a very real sense, African psychology dreams of redeeming, not only the discipline and profession of psychology, but of the entire human condition. It dreams of initiating a science that will enable us to understand the universal nature of our being, of establishing a relationship with the world around us. What Coleridge has said of poetry can be applied equally well to Africentric psychology,
