Indigenous Spirituality, Health, and Well-Being in the Young
The extant literature has scant detail about everyday spiritual practices that aid Indigenous young people. This paper systematically explores Indigenous Spirituality, health, and well-being through Elder-governed yarns conducted via Zoom with 44 Aboriginal Elders, Healers, and Senior and Junior people involved in health and well-being of the Victorian Aboriginal community. These yarns were analyzed through an innovative, constructivist, multi-pe…
Roaming
There are significant disparities in mental health care between First Nations and non-Indigenous people in settler-colonial nations. This paper, authored by a crosscultural and interdisciplinary team, argues that settler-colonial legislation, the tools and technologies of architecture, and the clinical practice of psychiatry are all implicated. Taking inspiration from Tanganekald, Meintangk-Bunganditj legal scholar Irene Watson, who yearns for fr…
Culture, Health and Wellbeing
Indigenous young people around the world suffer poorer mental health outcomes than their non-Indigenous counterparts. Currently, how culture matters for health, what cultural practices are used in community to support health and wellbeing, and how culture is passed on in Aboriginal contemporary life in south east Australia – a region most affected by settler-colonisation – is not well understood. This paper presents findings from yarns with a rep…
Doing culture’ in contemporary south-eastern Australia
The yarns reveal some of the myriad practical ways that Indigenous people maintain a strong cultural identity in contemporary south-eastern Australia. While programs designed to foster connections to Community, Country and/or Culture may benefit all Indigenous participants, those most disconnected from their Ancestral roots may benefit most. Further research is required to determine how best to support Indigenous Victorians whose connections to t…
The Development of Elder-Governed Adjuvant Cultural Therapy for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander Young People With Mental Health Conditions
A 10-year review of the 2008 Council of Australian Governments' (COAG) Close the Gap Strategy identified the lack of involvement of Indigenous people in developing policies as a key reason health disparities persist. It also posits that disconnection from Country and culture have been crucial factors. Physical and mental health cannot be separated from spiritual health and well-being amongst Indigenous Australians. This article describes the co-d…
Dissonance, Disagreement, Difference
Over the past two decades researchers have been exploring new hybrid methodologies to decolonise Indigenous mental health research. Grounded Theory with Community Participatory Action Research (CPAR), often using Indigenist methods, is the most common. Grounded Theory's claim to rigour is its transparent, organised process of sifting and theme finding, while CPAR respects Indigenous self-determination and Indigenous ways of knowing doing and bein…
A ‘Holding Place’
Indigenous people in Australia suffer from significant disparities in health compared to their non-Indigenous peers. Policies to address it have had little success. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of ‘enunciative modalities’ and Wiradjuri historian Lawrence Bamblett’s theory of deficit discourses and ‘straightline stories,’ which builds on Foucauldian theory, this essay explores the reasons for the failures, the complicity of architecture, and re…
Analysis of structural brain asymmetries in attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder in 39 datasets
OBJECTIVE: Some studies have suggested alterations of structural brain asymmetry in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but findings have been contradictory and based on small samples. Here, we performed the largest ever analysis of brain left-right asymmetry in ADHD, using 39 datasets of the ENIGMA consortium. METHODS: We analyzed asymmetry of subcortical and cerebral cortical structures in up to 1,933 people with ADHD and 1,829 una…
Whose place? Lessons from a case study of a guardianship determination for an Australian Indigenous child
Gender Variance in Children and Adolescents with Neurodevelopmental and Psychiatric Conditions from Australia
Irritability, Depressed Mood, Inattention and Spatial Working Memory in Children and Adolescents with Major Depressive Disorder With/Without Persistent Depressive Disorder
Gifted Children with ADHD
The present study focused on inattention and hyperactivity/impulsivity differences of gifted children with and without attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Based on clinical assessment utilizing the Anxiety Disorders Interview Schedule for Children (ADISC-IV) and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Fourth Edition, attendees of a public outpatient child service (boys = 359, girls = 148), with mean age 10.60 years (SD = 3.08 ye…
Re-evaluation of the Latent Structure of Common Childhood Disorders
In the field of psychopathology, there is high comorbidity between different disorders. Traditionally, support for two broad correlated dimensions of internalizing and externalizing symptoms has consistently emerged for children and adolescents. To date, oblique 2 and 3 first-order factor models (factors for externalizing and internalizing, and fear, distress, and externalizing) and bi-factor models with the corresponding two and three group fact…
Towards an Aboriginal Knowledge Place
The Indigenous community in Australia is beset by extraordinary disadvantage, with health outcomes that are substantially worse than those of non-Indigenous citizens. This issue has consequently been the subject of voluminous health research that has given rise to a range of affirmative action policies progressively implemented over the past decade. Statistics, however, remain dire. This paper argues that new models of research practice and polic…
