Lived experience perspectives on resilience, mental health, and wellbeing
In this study, resilience did not emerge as an individual capacity, but as something grounded in relational networks situated within cultural, spiritual and ecological contexts. These findings suggest a need for transformational approaches to resilience assessment and intervention by policymakers and clinicians, which attend to structural determinants as well as individual coping capacity. Effective interventions are likely to be more acceptable …

Pathways to mental health treatment in Ghana
BACKGROUND: The clinical pathways for treating mental illness have received global attention. Several empirical studies have been undertaken on treatment pathways in Ghana. No study, however, has systematically reviewed the literature related to the pathways of mental health treatment in Ghana. AIM: This article aims to identify the pathways used to treat mental illnesses; examine the evidence about the possibility of collaboration between biomed…
Compulsory Community Care in New Zealand Mental Health Legislation 1846-1992
Community treatment orders are considered a new development in mental health care and are consistent with current New Zealand mental health policy of care in the community. However, since its first adoption in 1846, New Zealand mental health legislation has always made provision for compulsory mental health care out of hospital. Analysis of the text of each of the five iterations of mental health legislation shows that an initial (1846) provision…
Social deprivation and use of mental health legislation in New Zealand
BACKGROUND: Low socioeconomic status has consistently been associated with poorer health outcomes. Few studies have used ecological analysis to explore relationships between area measures of deprivation and use of mental health legislation. METHODS: We used an ecological design to explore associations between two area measures of relative deprivation and the two most commonly used sections of New Zealand mental health legislation. RESULTS: High l…

Suicide online
Media reporting can impact negatively or positively on suicidal behaviour. Specific reporting methods such as the use of sensationalism can influence suicidal behaviour. This paper presents the findings from a study that aimed to provide an in-depth examination of New Zealand mainstream news items in which websites played a role in suicide. We used framing analysis to interpret the role online technology plays in the reporting of the suicide even…
Suicide prevention and social capital
This paper draws on the example of Samoa to argue that Western models of health promotion and suicide prevention, especially those which draw on conventional understandings of social capital, are not appropriate for non-Western communities, for they are generally not sensitive to cultural beliefs, values and rituals. As such, the value of homogenously promoting social capital as an adjunct to suicide prevention strategies needs to be questioned. …
Revolutionary Storytelling without the Revolution
La narration d'histoires sur l'apartheid est devenu un enjeu multidimensionnel dans la nouvelle Republique d'Afrique du Sud. L'A. commente brievement deux ouvrages recents - N. Yousaf, 2001 ; A. O'Brien, 2001 - qui mettent au centre de leur interrogation la synergie entre le politique et la culture expressive en Afrique du Sud. Comment l'action politique sud-africaine peut-elle conserver une conscience revolutionnaire sans la revolution ? Tel est…
Against Normalization
Normalization or Radical DemocracyThe shape this book has taken reflects the momentous changes in South Africa during the time of its composition.Writing between 1992 and 1998 on radical impulses in South African literature and politics in the 1980s, I began with a sense of the high tide of antiapartheid struggle in the late eighties as the vivid present, both of South African culture and of its representations abroad.Gradually, however, it becam…

Staging Whiteness
The relation of radical black South African theatre to European (post)modernism can be understood as a project of decolonizing the stage. Decolonizing the stage means not only a shift in historical and political consciousness away from a normative and oppressive whiteness, but a strategic turn to the material cultural practices, the signifying systems, of a recovered indigenous theatre which is also open to theatrical invention of every sort. To …
