Erosion of Social Support for Disabled People in Ontario
The Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) is a social assistance program offering income and employment supports for disabled people in Ontario, Canada’s most populous province. Since its inception, the ODSP has been critiqued by policy analysts, service providers, and its recipients as flawed, principally in terms of the amount and the range of supports provided. The purpose of this paper is to assess whether the ODSP meets its stated object…

Poverty Trajectories Experienced by Persons with Mental Illness
The present study aimed to better understand the relationship between mental illness and poverty by comparing three groups of individuals with mental illness in Canada: those who see their financial status as improving, worsening, or staying the same.

Perspectives of social justice among people living with mental illness and poverty
The experience of people with mental illness – many of whom live in poverty – regarding social justice has not been well studied. The present study sought to explore these experiences. Thirtyfour individuals with mental illness participated in a one-time focus group interview. A focused ethnographic approach to analysis was used. Participants expressed a need for support of selfdetermination as well as a focus on basic needs that they thought sho…
Using a capabilities approach to understand poverty and social exclusion of psychiatric survivors
The purpose of this project is to better understand poverty and social exclusion of psychiatric survivors using a capabilities approach to social justice as part of a larger mixed-methods longitudinal study (N=380) in Ontario, Canada. Using thematic coding, four themes emerged: poverty, ‘You just try to survive’; stigma, ‘People treat you like trash’; belonging, ‘You feel like you don’t belong’; and shared concern and advocacy, ‘Everyone deserves…

Posttraumatic Stress, Nonadherence, and Adverse Outcome in Survivors of a Myocardial Infarction
OBJECTIVE: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms have been reported in patients with coronary vascular disease, after the trauma of a myocardial infarction (MI). The effect of these symptoms on post-MI disease control has not been elucidated. We conducted a study that sought to determine whether PTSD symptoms post-MI are associated with increased likelihood of cardiovascular readmission and with nonadherence to treatment recommendations. …
An introductory course in philosophy of medicine
Philosophy of medicine, narrowly defined as ontology and epistemology of medicine, is a well developed research field, yet education in this field is less well developed. The aim of this paper is to present an educational development in philosophy of medicine-an introductory course in philosophy of medicine. Central features of the course are described. Participants (medical undergraduate students) scored high on average. The conclusion is that f…
Paranoia and Reinforced Dogmatism
Deviant forms of human thought may provide insight into epistemic standards, such as rationality. A comparative analysis of paranoia and reinforced dogmatism suggests that reinforced dogmatism, such as pseudo-science a-la-Popper, demonstrates a primary epistemic lack of critical rationality, that is, of testability, whereas paranoia demonstrates a lack of range of alternative statements leading secondarily to a lack of testability. This reflects …
