That Was a State of Depression by Itself Dealing with Society”
Despite increased societal focus on structural racism, and its negative impact on health, empirical research within mental health remains limited relative to the magnitude of the problem. The current study—situated within a community‐engaged project with members of a predominantly Black and African American church in the northeastern US—collaboratively examined depressive experience, recovery, and the role of racism and racialized structures. Thi…
Does one treatment benefit all? Patients’ experiences of standardized group CBT for anxiety and depression
Typology of Mental Health Peer Support Work Components
The employment of mental health peer support (PS) is recommended in national and international mental health policy, and widely implemented across many countries. The key components of PS remain to be identified. This study aimed to develop a typology of components involved in one-to-one PS for adults in mental health services. A systematised review was performed to establish a preliminary long list of candidate components, followed by expert con…
En quoi l’amour est-il nécessaire au fait de se rétablir d’une psychose
Parmi les différentes façons dont la clinique orientée rétablissement a été caractérisée en écart aux soins psychiatriques traditionnels, la question des soins « centrés sur la personne » est essentielle. Cet article en explore les implications profondes concernant la transformation de la pratique psychiatrique. Pour être considérés comme « centrés sur la personne », les soins doivent s’intéresser d’abord à la personne plutôt qu’à ses symptômes o…

Generativity among people with lived experience of mental illness and distress
48). Phase two participants discussed how the quantitative results resonated with their own experiences; their own generative behaviors, which included ephemeral and concrete forms of generativity; and how engaging in generativity improved their recovery. People with lived experience of mental illness make important contributions to the lives of other people and their communities; and these contributions can support recovery. (PsycInfo Database R…
What are dually diagnosed patients' problems represented to be in mental health? A WPR analysis of the multistability purpose of digital health records
No previous studies have investigated how political measures, opinions and views of people with dual diagnoses, organisational requirements and professional values are purposefully communicated, mediated and/or integrated in digital records in mental health care. It remains unclear how health records function as both clinical vehicles for documentation, audit and quality assurance in patient care as well as political vehicles of power to articula…
Mental health and human rights
The care of people with mental health problems requires health system and service reforms to build up proper mental health care. The challenges of the present moment continue to be immense. The viral pandemic that we are experiencing has exposed the fragility of our health and social services and certified the inequality and precariousness of the living conditions of many people. The collection of articles published in the journal Salud Colectiva…
Tele-Mental Health Utilization Among People with Mental Illness to Access Care During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Recovering a sense of self in schizophrenia
OBJECTIVE: Diverse theoretical orientations on psychopathology, including the most recent phenomenological and neuroscientific approaches, consistently have viewed a core component of schizophrenia to be the loss, or distortion, of a person's sense of self as an effective agent in a shared, social world. How such a sense of self becomes lost or distorted and the questions of whether or not, and if so, how it can be recovered have received conside…
Understanding family perspectives on supported employment
BACKGROUND: One integral way by which individuals in recovery pursue meaning and productivity in their lives is via employment. Unfortunately, the vast majority of individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who express the desire to work remain unemployed. Families have the potential to play an important role in the domain of supported employment (SE), though may not have the knowledge or skills to do so. AIMS: This quantitative study aimed to…
A Call for Behavioral Emergency Response Teams in Inpatient Hospital Settings
Medical rapid response teams, now ubiquitous throughout hospitals, were designed to identify and proactively treat early warning signs of acute medical decompensation. Behavioral emergencies-including clinical psychiatric emergencies, coping/stress reactions, and iatrogenic injuries-are not responded to with the same vigor. At worst, behavioral crises are treated as unarmed security threats. Limited or inappropriate responses to such crises can l…
Implicit organizational bias
There are increased efforts to improve patient-provider relations and engagement within North American mental health systems. However, it is unclear how these innovations impact care for ethnic minorities, a group that continues to face social and health disparities. This study examined one such engagement innovation-person-centered care planning-to gain a better understanding of this overall process. We specifically explored how mental health pr…

‘From my point of view, my wife has recovered’
BACKGROUND: Bipolar disorder (BD) is a chronic mental disorder, and family members play a key role in taking care of the affected individuals. The recovery movement has gradually transformed mental health services, for example, through the introduction of peer support services (sharing of expert-by-experience knowledge), and it has challenged the prevailing view that people with mental illness cannot recover. AIMS: Through this study, the researc…
If You Want to Know About the Book, Ask the Author”
Participatory research, in which people with lived experience of the study phenomenon are involved as collaborators, has been conducted for decades; however, these innovations have struggled to take hold in mental health settings-until recently. The slow uptake of community partnered research in mental health has been unfortunate, especially because this field already suffers from poor community relations, pervasive community mistrust, and racial…
Transition Experiences Following Psychiatric Hospitalization
School`s out with fever
Youth struggling with mental health issues is a major concern in Norway and other Western countries. As is the increasing rate of youth unemployment combined with high rates of disengagement from education. Rather than receiving support to complete their education or find work, they are often given a psychiatric diagnosis that may camouflage the social nature of their problems. Therefore, a multidisciplinary approach to meeting the needs of the p…
Psychosis in public mental health
Whereas a growing literature has sought to understand challenges involved in the dissemination and implementation of specific evidence-based practices (EBP), few studies have centered on the perspectives of front-line community providers regarding best practices, clinical ideals and barriers to quality improvement for clients with psychosis. The goal of this project was to lay a foundation for future work aimed at improving the overall quality an…
Sense of clubhouse community belonging and empowerment
BACKGROUND: While the neighborhood community literature well documents a link between participation in supportive and effective community groups or activities and empowerment, there is as yet little empirical evidence of this relationship in the context of community mental health programs. AIM: The primary purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between sense of community belonging and empowerment among members of mental health clubh…
Reflecting on Participatory, Action‐Oriented Research Methods in Community Psychology
Highlights Participatory action research (PAR) remains an underutilized methodology in community mental health. PAR embodies the type of approach needed to improve the system‐level impacts of community psychology. The contexts of PAR are changing and how PAR is understood and taught need to change with them
Can There Be a Recovery-Oriented Diagnostic Practice
Despite the prevalence of the DSM in mental health practice, research, and the public imagination, it remains the target of criticism. With the publication of another volume in the DSM series, we have seen increased dialogue regarding the necessity of viable alternatives that do not succumb to the pitfalls of a descriptive diagnostic system. In this article, we explore a framework for a recovery-oriented and person-centered diagnostic practice al…
Sense of self in recovery from severe mental illness
This report based on research interviews conducted with persons struggling to recover from prolonged psychiatric disorders suggests that the rediscovery and reconstruction of an enduring sense of the self as an active and responsible agent provides an important aspect of improvement. This process of developing a functional sense of self in the midst of persisting psychotic symptoms and dysfunction is described, and its implications for understand…
You have to adapt because you have no other choice”
Presented in this paper are the results of a qualitative analysis of the narratives of 208 homeless youth interviewed on streets and in agencies in New York City and Toronto. The interviews focused on the participants' stories about their struggles to survive and negotiate meaningful and healthy lives in coming to the streets, living on the streets, and finding ways off the streets. Analysis of the narratives revealed shifts in the youths' senses…

Self and narrative in schizophrenia
The prevailing, clinical view of schizophrenia, as reflected in the psychiatric literature, suggests both that people with schizophrenia have lost their sense of self and that they have a diminished capacity to create coherent narratives about their own lives. Drawing on our empirical research in the growing area of recovery, we describe not only the disruptions and discontinuities introduced by the illness and its social and personal consequence…
Homelessness, Mental Illness and Citizenship
Assertive mental health outreach to homeless persons, which operates under the premise that mental illness must be understood and treated within the individual’s social and economic environment, points towards the goals of community membership and ‘citizenship’—a connection to the rights, responsibilities, roles, and resources that society offers through public and social institutions and informal ‘associational life’—for homeless persons. We arg…

Supported socialization for people with psychiatric disabilities
Two hundred and sixty people with psychiatric disabilities who were socially isolated and withdrawn were randomly assigned to one of three conditions to facilitate their engagement in social and recreational activities: They were (a) not matched with a volunteer partner ( N = 70), (b) matched with a volunteer partner who had a personal history of psychiatric disability ( N = 95), or (c) matched with a volunteer partner with no history of psychiat…

Metasynthesis and Bricolage
During the past decades, new approaches to synthesizing qualitative data have been developed. However, this methodology continues to face significant philosophical and practical challenges. By reviewing the literature on this topic, our overall aim in this article is to explore the systematic and creative research processes involved in the act of metasynthesizing. By investigating synthesizing processes borrowed from two studies, we discuss matte…
Toward Caring for Oneself in a Life of Intense Ups and Downs
In this article, we discuss processes of recovery in bipolar disorder. We utilized a hermeneutical-phenomenological approach developed within a reflexive-collaborative framework to examine what individuals do to promote improvement and positive change in their own lives. The study was designed and carried out in collaboration with an expert-by-experience group of 12 coresearchers with firsthand experiences of mental distress and recovery. In-dept…

How Do People Experience Early Intervention Services for Psychosis? A Meta-Synthesis
We conducted a study to explore how people diagnosed with first-episode psychosis experienced their contact with early intervention services for psychosis and the way these experiences relate to their recovery processes. Our aim was to integrate and describe the service users' experiences in a rigorous and comprehensive way. A broad literature search was performed in June and July 2016. After screening, 17 qualitative studies were included. We an…
How I found out I had a bipolar disorder
Research indicates that it may take up to 10 years between onset of symptoms of bipolar disorder and receiving correct diagnosis and treatment. What is this period like? How do individuals experience the process of discovering that they have a bipolar disorder? In this study we utilized a hermeneutical-phenomenological approach developed within a reflexive-collaborative framework to explore these questions. In-depth interviews with 13 participant…
Help seeking and satisfaction among Latinas
This study explored help seeking among primary Spanish speaking women of Hispanic origin who had behavioral health needs. We evaluated relational and cultural aspects of care and service utilization by using qualitative and quantitative measures of perceived behavioral health needs, therapeutic relationships, ethnic identity and degree of acculturation, and satisfaction with services among 103 women. We explored the nature of the therapeutic rela…
Service providers' views of psychiatric mutual support groups
Despite evidence that mutual support groups can be beneficial for those with serious mental illnesses, professionals have been reluctant to utilize this resource. We surveyed over 400 providers across several disciplines and settings within the state of Connecticut's public mental health system to assess their attitudes and practices regarding the use of mutual support groups for their patients. We found that being a rehabilitation worker and pos…

Lebanon and the Jewish Conscience
An historical aim of the Zionist movement is to secure the Jewish people not only a national homeland, but also a state. Within the national homeland, Jews are to be all that they religiously, intellectually and culturally can be, and by possessing a state they are also finally to become like all other nationalities. This latter goal is wholly secular and different from the biblical directive calling upon the Jewish people to be a light unto the …

Story telling and schizophrenia
This report demonstrates how narrative findings from phenomenological research can provide insights into the structures of lived experience that generalize beyond the individual cases. Building upon a narrative perspective, the author suggests that the phenomenological study of schizophrenic delusions can disclose the subjective lives of people struggling with this illness. Viewing delusions as stories that people with schizophrenia tell about th…
SSHM Prize Essay
The paper takes its cue from the work on specialization and American ophthalmology by George Rosen (1944). Where Rosen's account was inspired by sociology, this paper gives a non-teleological account of medical specialization through a cultural history of ophthalmology. The cultural nature of the ophthalmic epidemics motivated practitioners to study the eye in earnest. These practitioners had to surmount obstacles intrinsic to the medical culture…
Phenomenological and Participatory Research on Schizophrenia
This article describes the application of phenomenological and participatory research methods in understanding the problem of recurrent inpatient admissions for individuals diagnosed with serious mental illness. Conventional approaches to understanding and addressing inpatient recidivism in serious mental illness have neglected to invite the perspective or input of the person with the disorder, further exacerbating the passive and helpless role o…
Peer support among individuals with severe mental illness
This article reviews the history and potential effectiveness of peer support among persons with severe mental illness. Following a historical overview, we describe the three primary forms of peer support that have been developed to date by and for this population, and examine the existing empirical evidence of the feasibility, effectiveness, and utilization of each of these approaches in contributing to the recovery of individuals with psychiatri…
Philosophical foundations of humanistic psychology
From the perspective of the history of Western thought, humanism is a philosophy based on the belief that the human is irreducible to other forms of life, whether material or Divine. To the extent that humanistic psychology has its roots in the humanist tradition, it shares this conviction that the human cannot be understood except in its own terms. This report will review the philosophical precedents for this perspective on the nature of human f…

Clinical responsibility and client autonomy
Mental health outreach to homeless persons requires practice standards for cases in which clinical assessment and client autonomy conflict. After reviewing the principles of mental health outreach and presenting case examples, conditions and boundaries within which outreach workers negotiate the clinical responsibility/client autonomy dilemma are discussed. Guidelines to support sound clinical practice while respecting client autonomy are also di…

Understanding and Evaluating Qualitative Research
Qualitative research aims to address questions concerned with developing an understanding of the meaning and experience dimensions of humans’ lives and social worlds. Central to good qualitative research is whether the research participants’ subjective meanings, actions and social contexts, as understood by them, are illuminated. This paper aims to provide beginning researchers, and those unfamiliar with qualitative research, with an orientation …

The person in recovery from acute and severe psychosis
The role of 3 personality dimensions (i.e., dependency, self-criticism, and efficacy) in recovery from an acute and severe psychosis was examined. Conceptualizing psychosis as involving difficulties in establishing psychological boundaries, the authors hypothesized that dependency has a greater disruptive effect on recovery than self-criticism. Results of a reanalysis of longitudinal data (N = 76) of people with schizophrenia spectrum disorders d…
Psychometric Properties of the Spanish Version of the Therapeutic Collaboration Scale (TCS)
The development of appropriately normed Spanish-language assessments is a necessity as a result of (1) a growing Latino population in need of behavioral health services and (2) a limited number of linguistically and culturally sensitive instruments that are currently available. As part of a broader assessment on the needs and satisfaction with services received, 103 Latina women completed the Therapeutic Collaboration Scale (TCS). This measure at…
Peer Support Among Adults With Serious Mental Illness
Peer support is based on the belief that people who have faced, endured, and overcome adversity can offer useful support, encouragement, hope, and perhaps mentorship to others facing similar situations. While this belief is well accepted for many conditions, such as addiction, trauma, or cancer, stigma and stereotypes about mental illness have impeded attempts on the part of people in recovery to offer such supports within the mental health syste…
Recovery in Serious Mental Illness
The notion of recovery has become a dominant force in mental health policy, evident in reports of the Surgeon General and President's New Freedom Commission. In both reports, recovery is stipulated as the overarching goalof care and foundation for reforms at state and local levels. Little consensus exists regarding the nature of recovery in mental illness, however, or about the most effective ways to promote it. The authors offer a conceptual fra…
