Critical-decolonial grounded theory methodology
Revisiting the Social Constructionist Foundation of Qualitative Inquiry
Suffering and radical healing among women survivors of acid attack in India
Mental Health Problems Among Migrant Labourers in India
One of the severely marginalised internal migrant populations in India has been the migrant labourers who not only face the challenges of acculturation but also experience acute powerlessness. They work within the unorganised sectors and are often denied employment opportunities and social security. The socioculturally induced distress makes them more prone to develop mental health-related problems and creates greater health disparities. To desig…
Using Structural Competency to Augment Culturally Responsive Research on Mental Health in Neoliberal Context
Culturally responsive methodologies (CRMs) foreground critical engagement, people's voices, and connection with cultural heritage. Similarly, structural competency (SC) advocates for structural humility and cultural safety to address the structural hierarchies and humanize interactions within health care and research settings. In the Global South countries like India, where persistent colonial legacy and neoliberal influences in the post-colonial…
Rethinking “transfer” in the transgenerational transmission of trauma
Traumatic events, in their aftermath, often induce feelings of injustice or exclusion due to the hierarchies of survivor/non-survivor, religion, race, gender, and so forth, as well as the apathy of governance. However, the transfer of trauma and healing from survivors to their next generation is conceptualized around the past traumatic event and post-traumatic stress disorder. A constructivist grounded theory analysis of the voices of parent surv…
Healing among Indian poor faced with distress of forced internal migration
On the Legacy of Internal Indigenization Pioneered by Durganand Sinha
Stakeholders facilitating hope and empowerment amidst social suffering
BACKGROUND: Globally homeless mentally ill (HMI) individuals are considered one of the most vulnerable populations. An individual-centric, psychopathology-oriented focus of the existing mental health-care system limits the understanding of the HMI individuals through the disability lens overlooking their strengths and resilience that enable them to survive extremely hostile environments. Contemporary mental health research has embraced a paradigm…
Migrant Workers and Covid-19
The internal migrant workers in India, despite being highly vulnerable in terms of physical and mental health, have remained the backbone of the Indian economy. However, the recent lockdown situation created by pandemic has put them in a more precarious condition. On one hand, they have lost their jobs and earnings, while on the other, they did not have enough resources to survive at the place of migration. As a result, the nation witnessed mass …
The Quest for Promoting Health and Healing
This chapter traces the origins and historical development of health psychology and community psychology. In particular, the goals and methods of these fields are critically examined in the background of an interpretive turn in social sciences. It is observed that promoting health and healing from the standpoint of the end-users utilizing multi-disciplinary approaches and innovative qualitative and quantitative methodologies constitute the state-…
Revisiting the Paradigm Shift in Trauma Studies
While in the 1980s, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) III created the diagnostic category of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), social scientists like Veena Das were foregrounding the cultural or contextual processes that were shaping the intense distress of the survivors that the psychiatric model excluded in the study of disaster survivors. As widely held, Das' work on violence-hit humans, particularly, 'Our work to cry: Your work to l…
Decolonizing culture
Adopting a decolonizing framework, this article examines the role of mainstream Euro-American psychology in shaping neoliberal conceptions of self in many postcolonial nations such as India. We specifically draw on our respective ethnographic research to analyze identity formation in Indian cultural contexts. Our article is organized around three goals. First, we show how Indian outsourcing industries have become heavily reliant on Euro-American …
Documentary analysis as a qualitative methodology to explore disaster mental health
A paradigm shift in disaster mental health research has renewed the emphasis on the survivors' experiences of suffering and healing. This article highlights the importance of utilizing documentary analysis as one of the important qualitative methodologies to explore post-disaster distress of the survivors. Following Figueroa's (2008) approach to the analysis of audio-visual texts, the methodological steps, outcomes and their salience have been il…
On the Social Constructionist Approach to Traumatized Selves in Post-disaster Settings
Social Constructionist Approach to Suffering and Healing
Trauma Reactions, Suffering, and Healing among Riot-Affected Internally Displaced Children of Gujarat, India
More than 4,000 families of the Muslim community in the state of Gujarat in India have been facing internal displacement after a communal riot broke out in 2002. Many of them have also been facing bereavement and trauma due to loss of family members and/or sexual assault during the riot. Using innovative qualitative methods, this study explored the experiences of trauma reactions, social suffering, and healing among the children of these families…
The Research Relationship as a Facilitator of Remoralization and Self-Growth
In new-paradigm research, empathic witnessing by the researcher might create within the researcher-participant relationship a space for participants to share and transcend their suffering. I explore this theme through the constructionist grounded theory analysis of interviews, fieldnotes, and my self-reflexive commentary from an original study conducted to understand the experiences of suffering and healing among the survivors of an earthquake th…
Survivors' Suffering and Healing Amidst Changing Socioeconomic Forces in Two Years of Post-Earthquake Kachchh
The impact of natural disasters on survivors has been a thrust area in psychological research since the early twentieth century. However, the discipline's strong adberence to a set of "scientific" methods has rendered the research in this area also to be acultural, ahistorical and apclitical through the use of the diagnostic category, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). A culture sensitive study of the impact of the carthquake that hit Kachchh …
