Risks to the clinician of risk management
The process of making decisions to admit patients to hospital consistently involved the decision-maker's concern with the future consequences for them, either from a prior or future adverse event. The findings of this study, alongside other evidence of the complexity of decision-making, have implications for improving and studying clinical decision-making (and, by extension, patient care and outcomes), patient safety responses, and professional w…
Causation, historiographic approaches and the investigation of serious adverse incidents in mental health settings
To improve the safety of healthcare systems, it is necessary to understand harm-related events that occur in these systems. In mental health services, particular attention is paid to harm arising from the actions of patients against themselves or others. The primary intention of examining these adverse events is to inform changes to care provision so as to reduce the likelihood of the recurrence of such events. The predominant approach to investi…
Use of Acute Psychiatric Hospitalisation
Background: Human decision-making involves a complex interplay of intra- and inter-personal factors. The decisions clinicians make in practise are subject to a wide range of influences. Admission to a psychiatric hospital is a major clinical intervention, but the decision-making processes involved in admissions remain unclear. Aims: To delineate the range of factors influencing clinicians' decisions to arrange acute psychiatric admissions. Method…
The demand for life insurance in a developing country and the mediating role of persuasion
This study examines the demand for life insurance in a rapidly developing economic environment in South East Asia, focusing on Malaysia. The study extends the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) by introducing a mediating variable 'Persuasion' in examining the demand for life insurance among policy buyers. Fuelled by the recent COVID-19 pandemic, the life insurance market is expected to grow significantly and the role of the state and regulatory b…
Risk of harm to others
In everyday mental health practice, clinicians are expected to assess and manage the risk of harm that may be caused by their patients to others. An informed approach to the activities of risk assessment and management should be grounded in a thorough understanding of the notion of risk. Whilst there are agreed definitions of risk, they do not do justice to the complexity of in-vivo representations of risk. Based on a review of the literature, an…

Democracy in early Malian postcolonial history
The level of public support for the March 2012 military coup d'état in Mali surprised many observers who viewed the country as a viable democracy and believed its inhabitants perceived it in the same light. This article suggests that, despite this favourable appraisal by certain outsiders, many Malians had low levels of confidence in the democracy of President Amadou Toumani Touré, considering it corrupt and dysfunctional. In light of such attitu…
Metaphor and the slave trade in West African Literature
Moorings and mythology
Analyzing Fatou Diome's 2003 novel Le Ventre de l'Atlantique, this article explores its treatment of the international migration system, particularly the causes of migration between Senegal and France and the social ills that go along with this, as well as the novel's location in the genealogy of Francophone literature. It argues that Diome's position is ambiguous, portraying the principal causes of migration as intellectual and cultural, rooted …
Childhood antecedents of serious violence in adult male offenders
Prospective longitudinal studies have shown strong predictions from conduct disorders (CDs) in childhood to antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) and violence in adults. However, little is known of the childhood antecedents of serious violence nor whether these may vary depending on the context in which the violence occurs. In this study, 54 men aged 21–40 years serving prison sentences for violent crime were assessed. Standardized interviews of…

Israel and Point Four
a real sense, Point Four is not the problem of the United States only, even though the idea came from this country and even though the major implementation in terms of resources and skills will have to derive from this country. It is a problem of all countries, more or less developed. Israel is, of course, a new country of only two years' duration. Therefore we must consider not only Israel, but also its predecessor-Palestine. Unfortunately for P…
