    Michael Lewis, Louisa Briggs Deardon et al.ARTICLEPractice2024Referencias: 2

    Children and young people in foster and adoptive families are considered more vulnerable to a high level of mental health need when compared to peers who are not care-experienced or adopted.

  • Perspective on clinical high-risk for psychosis in Africa

    Open AccessSewanu Awhangansi, Adeniran Okewole et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2023

    Clinical High Risk for Psychosis has evolved in recent years as a conceptual and clinical entity, representing a shift in focus from the syndromal psychosis state to a recognition of the pre-psychotic state as a period of potential preventive intervention. Much existing evidence has been generated from well-resourced countries, with a more limited body of literature available from Africa and other Majority World countries. Against a backdrop of p…

    In specialist child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) provision serving children living in local authority care (i.e. who are looked-after) and other vulnerable groups, consultation with social care professionals and carers is an important part of care delivery. It functions as both a pathway to direct assessment and treatment and an indirect intervention, via formulation, advice and support to the network surrounding a child. This art…

  • The psychoanalytically-informed interview in social work research

    Philip John ArchardARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice2021

    British psycho-social studies is a new paradigm of transdisciplinary scholarship situated at the borderlands of social and psychological theory. Its development has been represented as providing avenues for a more critical and reflexive engagement with psychoanalysis in social work, disentangled from the unfavourable meanings with which psychoanalysis has been associated (e.g. as apolitical and reductively focussed on intrapsychic dynamics). Howe…

This article is concerned with a specific type of self-disclosure: what social workers say to th…
