Lived experiences of auditory verbal hallucinations in a Northern Tanzania mental health clinic and implications for intervention adaptation
Hearing distressing voices is a strong signal of potential mental health concerns and can lead to negative outcomes. Evidence-based practices to address distressing voice-hearing developed in western clinical settings may not be appropriate in sub-Saharan Africa. This study recruited patients who reported hearing voices at an outpatient clinic in semi-urban Arusha, Tanzania. Forty-three participants consented to the study and reported hearing aud…
Increasing the Value of Health Intervention Trials
Despite the substantial capacity of qualitative and mixed methods research to advance healthcare and interventions knowledge, most large-scale health intervention trials exclusively use quantitative methods. The authors argue that qualitative research can optimize investments in these studies. As researchers within the Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET), the authors highlight examples of how qualitative research has enhanced this natio…
Maasai women hearing voices
There is a sparse literature on women who hear voices globally, even though there are documented gendered dimensions of distress in the context of globalization and climate change and research indicates that trauma and psychosocial stress may be related to an increased prevalence of voice-hearing or auditory verbal hallucinations (AVHs). There is also a gap in the cultural phenomenology of voice-hearing in general, as well as idioms of distress f…
Pastors as Partners in Care
Early support for young people experiencing psychosis is key to preventing negative outcomes. First and second-generation Black immigrants to predominantly white countries are at higher risk for psychosis (Bourque et al. in Psychol Med 41(5):897-910, 2011) and novel interventions are needed to help support immigrants youths and families. African immigrant pastors are culturally valued and poised to help congregants with psychosis and their famili…

Coping with Food Insecurity Among African American in Public-Sector Mental Health Services
"Beyond the "Crazy House
This paper draws on a two-year, longitudinal, prospective study of 38 young people diagnosed with early psychosis. It focuses on one young Mexican-American woman, Ariana, over a five month period during and after her initial hospitalization for a psychotic break. I trace Ariana's moral experiences as she goes through a process of "moral breakdown" and moral rejuvenation (Zigon 2007). Ariana uses moral experiments and "ordinary ethics" to re-imagi…

Recovery stories
Moral agency has been loosely defined as the freedom to aspire to a “good life” that makes possible intimate relationships with others. This article uses ethnographic research to further the discussion of the role of moral agency in mental health recovery. This article attends to the ebb and flow of moral agency in the life stories of three people diagnosed with a serious psychiatric disability at different stages in their individual recoveries t…
No One Ever Even Asked Me that Before
Our article draws on ethnographic research with African American males diagnosed with a psychotic disorder in a high‐poverty urban area of the northeastern United States. Our participants frequently described the ways public mental health services led them to experience a paralyzing erosion of autobiographical power, which we define as the ability to tell one's own story and be the editor of one's own life. We identified three important points wh…

How Can Community Religious Groups Aid Recovery for Individuals with Psychotic Illnesses
A Mixed-Methods Study of the Recovery Concept, “A Meaningful Day,” in Community Mental Health Services for Individuals with Serious Mental Illnesses
Toward an Applied Neuroanthropology of Psychosis
Psychotic disorders emerge from the interplay between culture, brains, and experience. Understanding psychotic disorders and intervening effectively to prevent them or alleviate their effects requires a rich understanding of all three, which may best be captured by the transdisciplinary methods and theory of an applied neuroanthropology. Neuroanthropology investigates the ways that cultural context interacts with vulnerable people's brains to bot…
