  abstract = {{B}ackground : {I}n {S}ub-{S}aharan {A}frica, psychiatric care for severe mental disorders is scarce. {T}his is especially true for people living in chronic poverty in rural areas. {T}he way in which people with psychotic manifestations are socially perceived and treated remains under-researched, limiting the possibility of adapting services to their needs. {M}ethods : {I}n {M}ay 2017, 29 semi-structured individual interviews with indigent people reporting psychotic-like experiences and 8 focus groups with members of their community were conducted in the rural region of {D}i{\'e}bougou ({B}urkina {F}aso). {I}ndigents were questioned on their subjective interpretation regarding these experiences. {C}ommunity members were asked about their perceptions of people manifesting psychotic-like experiences. {A} thematic analysis was carried out. {R}esults : {T}hree distinct conceptions of psychotic-like experiences were identified. {F}irst, these experiences were often understood as a reflection of a mental disorder involving evil supernatural entities. {S}econd, some people were considered as possessing a faculty that conferred supernatural powers that could be used for healing purposes. {F}inally, psychotic-like experiences might also reflect a temporary disturbance for which no significant repercussions were raised. {C}onclusions : {T}his study suggests that certain manifestations qualified as psychotic according to the biomedical nosology seem to be considered differently from communities' perspectives. {T}hese experiences were frequently interpreted as being personal and not requiring medical attention or even as socially valuable faculties. {A}lthough psychotic-like experiences were not always perceived negatively, people who experienced them were reluctant to talk about them. {T}his suggests that a form of stigmatization is associated with psychotic-like experiences.},
