  • Out of Focus

    Open AccessLeighton Schreyer, Allison Crawford et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2025

    Embodied dimensions of treatment resistance (TR) are challenging to delineate. • A diffractive methodology can help generate different ways of knowing. • Digital storytelling is a valuable tool to complicate illness narratives. • Lived experiences of TR traverse conventional notions of a unitary self and time. • TR becomes intelligible through intra-actions and entanglements

  • Treatment resistance in schizophrenia and depression as an interactive kind

    Open AccessLeighton Schreyer, Csilla Kalocsai et al.ARTICLESSM - Mental Health2024

    Despite ongoing attempts to delineate and name treatment resistance (TR) in psychiatry, the term is increasingly deployed across diagnostic categories. Still, what it is that constitutes TR remains unclear and in flux. Through a meta-narrative review, we construct a sociohistorical map of the concept of TR as it is employed in schizophrenia (TRS) and major depressive disorders (TRD). We track debates about TR, identify underlying assumptions and …

  • How Teachers Adapt Their Cognitive Strategies When Using Entrustment Scales

    Milena Forte, Natalie Morson et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2021

    PURPOSE: Rater cognition is a field of study focused on individual cognitive processes used by medical teachers when completing assessments. Much has been written about the role of rater cognition in the use of traditional assessment scales. Entrustment scales (ES) are becoming the tool of choice for workplace-based assessments. It is not known how moving to an entrustment framework may cause teachers to adapt their cognitive rating strategies. T…

  • “It’s Not Just About Getting Along”

    Open AccessMaria Athina Martimianakis, Oshan Fernando et al.ARTICLEAcademic Medicine2020

    PURPOSE: Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is a necessary competency for all professionals. However, IPC can be fraught with politics leading to variable uptake and execution. The authors set out to understand how trainees come to appreciate the value of the "team" in their learning and to describe the type of learning related to IPC afforded to trainees in a highly collaborative complex care context. METHOD: The authors conducted 72 hours of…

  • Religion's 'state effects

    Oshan FernandoARTICLEReligion2014Citada por: 5Referencias: 32

    The author argues in this paper that the ‘state effects’ generated by religious movements – even those operating at the margins of societies – require us to consider anew the impact of religious movements on state formation. In Sri Lanka, for instance, evangelicals are a minority. Yet their practice of proselytizing to new audiences was considered ‘unethical,’ generating opposition that was directed not only at them, but also at ruling elites for…
