Local terms and understandings of mental health problems in Burundi
A pilot study and two intensive studies were conducted to document the local vocabularies used by Burundians to describe mental health problems and their understandings about the causes. The pilot study-in which 14 different large groups of community members awaiting appointments at a village health clinic were engaged in open-ended discussions of the local terminology and causal beliefs about mental health problems-suggested three key syndromes:…
Mental health treatment outcome expectancies in Burundi
Best practices in global mental health stress the importance of understanding local values and beliefs. Research demonstrates that expectancies about the effectiveness of a given treatment significantly predicts outcome, beyond the treatment effect itself. To help inform the development of mental health interventions in Burundi, we studied expectancies about the effectiveness of four treatments: spiritual healing, traditional healing, medication,…
Relationship satisfaction of HIV-positive Ugandan individuals with HIV-negative partners
Challenges of relational coping are well documented in the literature on couples and chronic illnesses, but there is significantly less research on the psychological aspects of couple relationships and HIV, particularly in international contexts. Coping with the uncertainty of illness progression, family planning, disclosure to friends and family, social isolation and stigma, fear of transmission, sexual intimacy, changes to social and physical f…
Coming to terms with coming out
For lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) adolescents and young adults, coming out to family members, especially parents, is a major psychological decision and hurdle due to both perceived fears and actual negative consequences. But beyond the literature on factors associated with the decision to come out and parents' initial reactions to the disclosure, empirical studies of what unfolds afterward, and how the family adjusts to the LGB adolescent's id…
Young Jamaicans' attitudes toward mental illness
Two large‐scale studies assessed the nature and correlates of young Jamaicans' attitudes toward mental illness. In study 1, students viewed a videotaped job interview for a teacher whose history was manipulated to include a history of mental illness, or not. Students desired significantly less social distance (i.e., more contact) with the “normal” confederate, followed by those with a mental illness history. The putative cause of the mental illne…
Couple Interaction During Problem Discussions
This study demonstrates and illustrates an integrative, systemic methodology for studying couples' interactions. We investigated the problem discussions of 58 engaged couples who participated in the Denver Family Development Study (e.g., Markman, Floyd, Stanley, & Storaassli, 1988). Sequential analyses were used to analyze the relational control behavior, covert affective impact, and verbal expressions of cognitive constructions. Results indicate…
