Psykofa is the combination of a Ghanaian word 'Sankofa' meaning "go back & get it" or returning to ones roots & "Psychotherapy" which is based around talking or counselling therapies that encourage the unconscious being brought back into the conscious. Thus the notion is that the client (patient) is taken back to a point of trauma or other incident to recover by learning from the past.

Sankofa is often depicted using an African Adinkra symbol of a bird moving forward with an egg in its mouth. See:

A search on "Sankofa" will provide more background.

Thus we are looking for a modern interpretation of this original tribal graphic that connects it with psychotherapeutic practice.
