Oxytocin Combined with Mindfulness and Nature Exposure Reduces Stress and Increases Connectedness in Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders
In recent years, mindfulness-based interventions for the treatment of schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) have yielded promising outcomes. Concurrently, growing evidence supports the mental health benefits of nature exposure, leading to increased interest in nature-based interventions. Nature connectedness—how strongly one feels connected to nature—is associated with improved well-being, particularly stress reduction. Research points toward a …
Diagnostic services as ‘treatment’ under Article 18 of the Social Security Co-Ordination Protocol (EU-UK)? – Court of Appeal in Northern Ireland ([2024] Nica 53)
Attitudes of Vietnamese University students on restrictions of rights and compulsory admissions in patients with severe mental illness – a cross-sectional study
Medical and psychiatric training seem to encourage more differentiated opinions on the use of compulsory admissions in psychiatric care. Future research, including longitudinal designs and a broader geographical scope, is needed to better understand the impact of psychiatric education in medical studies on attitudes toward mental health
Depression and somatization in Turkish migrants in Germany
Findings support the need to integrate cultural humility-defined as clinician self-awareness, openness, and contextual sensitivity-into evidence-based care. Symptom interpretation must consider patients' migration histories and cultural frameworks. Culturally adapted, person-centered interventions may improve diagnostic accuracy and treatment outcomes for migrant populations
Job Satisfaction Among Vietnamese Mental Health Care Staff
In the mental healthcare field, job satisfaction is a crucial indicator of burnout rate, turnover, well-being, and service quality. Various factors may influence job satisfaction for mental healthcare professionals. In low- and middle-income countries, job satisfaction and its associated factors need to be considered to counteract the critical lack of human resources in the mental healthcare field. A cross-sectional study was conducted through an…
Vietnamese Carescapes in the Making
Face masks were undoubtedly one of the most visible and (at least in some countries of the Global North) most controversial markers of the Covid-19 pandemic. Contrary to the white-German majority society in Berlin, Vietnamese migrants in the city were aware of the essential role of wearing masks in public right from the beginning of this health crisis. In March 2020, when the German government agency for disease control was still advising the gen…
Mental health literacy and the public perception of persons with depression and schizophrenia in Vietnam
Almost 9 out of 10 participants considered the presented cases as an example of mental illness, suggesting a high mental health awareness among our participants. The majority did not identify the presented cases as examples of schizophrenia or depression, reflecting little familiarity with Western mental health concepts. It could be interpreted as a sign of relatively low mental health literacy among the study participants
Electroconvulsive therapy for negative symptoms in schizophrenia
Negative symptoms in schizophrenia remain a clinical challenge with small effect sizes and evidence for pharmacological or psychotherapeutic treatment approaches. Studies suggest that electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) holds some promise as a treatment option of often persistent negative symptoms with clinically meaningful effects. This review summarizes the existing evidence on the efficacy of ECT on negative symptoms in patients with schizophrenia…
Compassion-based approaches

Thereby, studies investigating the relationship between clinical parameters and self-compassion in SSD, as well as the acceptability, feasibility, and effects of compassion-based approaches for individuals with SSD were cons…
Cultural immersion, acculturation strategies, and depressive symptoms among first-generation Vietnamese migrants in Germany
Background: Worldwide migration represents a major challenge of the 21st century. Despite the strong association between acculturation and mental health, research findings on underlining mechanisms remain inconsistent. Prior research urges to investigate sample characteristics in a more structured manner. Aims: The purpose of this study was to systematically investigate factors impacting acculturation and depressive symptoms in a large, not exclu…
Mechanisms of action and processes of yoga-based group intervention for inpatients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders–A longitudinal qualitative study
Generally, YoGI positively influenced participants' experiences of their inpatient stay, regarding distress, self- and body awareness, social connectedness, and spiritual wellbeing. However, participants also illuminated necessary adjustments to improve the intervention. YoGI will therefore be adapted and further developed in an iterative process based on a participant involvement approach. The efficacy regarding outcomes and processes needs to b…
Coin‐Op conspiracies
The Polybius conspiracy theory has been featured in numerous contemporary pop cultural works from The Simpsons to Loki. The conspiracy theory suggests that a government created arcade cabinet was installed in numerous video arcades in the early 1980s as a means of experimenting on unsuspecting children. While the theory itself remains an outlandish and nostalgic remnant of 1980s culture, this paper traces the very real history of suburban border …
Mapping genomic loci implicates genes and synaptic biology in schizophrenia
Psychotherapy in the Kurdistan region of Iraq (KRI)
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The Kurdish Region of Iraq (KRI) is home to Kurds, internally displaced persons, and Syrian refugees. In the last decades, its inhabitants have witnessed a great deal of political instability, which has led to increased rates of psychological distress. Mental illness contrasts with limited access to and availability of mental health services - and so the treatment gap remains high. This study aims to investigate the perspectiv…
Perceived Course of Illness on the Desire for Social Distance From People Suffering From Symptoms of Schizophrenia in India
The desire for social distance toward people with schizophrenia reduces with the expectation of positive treatment outcomes which underlines the need to raise public mental health awareness and provide psychoeducation for affected people and their family members in India. Help-seeking behaviors can be promoted by directing those needing treatment toward locally available, affordable and credible community-based services rather than facility-based…
The Relationship Between the Recognition of Basic Emotions and Negative Symptoms in Individuals With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders – An Exploratory Study
Current research suggests that emotion recognition is impaired in individuals affected by schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). However, the specific impact of negative symptoms on the ability to recognize single basic emotions has not yet been explored sufficiently and is the aim of the present study. A sample of N = 66 individuals diagnosed with SSD was recruited at the Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin. In a first step, correlation analys…
Mindfulness, cognitive fusion, and self-compassion in patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders—A cross-sectional study
In the last decades, third wave approaches in cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBT) have shown effectiveness in treating several mental disorders, including schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). Three crucial processes associated with clinical changes in patients include mindfulness, psychological flexibility (PF) and self-compassion (SC). PF is generally assessed by cognitive fusion (CF), a negative formulated key process of PF. The current stu…

Mental Health and Integration
Introduction: Forcibly displaced people are at particular risk of mental health problems and also face specific integration challenges upon resettlement. Existing literature suggests that there may be a bidirectional relationship between mental health and integration. The present study seeks to understand the relationship between integration processes and mental health problems or significant negative emotional experiences among adult refugees in…
Yoga-Based Group Intervention for In-patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders—A Qualitative Approach
Background: Yoga may pose a promising complementary therapy in the multimodal treatment of in-patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD). However, to date, no studies have qualitatively examined in-patients' with SSD experiences of Yoga as well as their perceptions of its limitations and benefits as a treatment component. This qualitative study aimed to explore for the first time the mechanisms and processes of Yoga-based Group Interven…
Public Attitudes Toward Psychiatric Hospitals
Background: Integration of psychiatric care with public health services and offering mental health care services to patients from lower socioeconomic status remains a global challenge. Scarcity of funds and professional workforce in psychiatric hospitals contribute to this situation. However, negative attitudes in the population are also a known impediment to patients seeking mental health services. This study aimed to assess the attitudes toward…
A qualitative study on resilience in adult refugees in Germany
This study adds to a growing body of knowledge about resilience among adult refugees. It may support clinicians working with refugees by making them aware of specific manifestations of resilience and factors promoting positive adaptation specific to this client group. It also contributes to a more strengths-based view on refugee mental health and processes of integration
Migration-related emotional distress among Vietnamese psychiatric patients in Germany
Culture and socialization influence how individuals perceive and express emotional distress. Research therefore, must consider the context to capture individual experiences. However, the majority of studies on factors associated with emotional distress among migrants use quantitative approaches, limiting an in-depth understanding. This study investigates emic themes of emotional distress among Vietnamese migrants by integrating anthropological an…
On Perceived Stress and Social Support
Current literature points towards several challenges in the access to sufficient and effective psychosocial care for Syrian refugees in host settings. This study is a comparative investigation into the relationship between ‘perceived social stress’ and ‘perceived social support’ on three of the most prevalent symptom dimensions in Syrian refugees across two host capitals, Berlin and Amman. 89 Syrians refugees were recruited between January 2017 a…
Mindfulness-Based Interventions for In-Patients With Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders—A Qualitative Approach
In recent years, mindfulness-based interventions (MBI) have gained clinical relevance in the treatment of patients with schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSDs). High symptom burden, long durations of hospitalization and high rehospitalization rates demonstrate the severity and cost-intensity of these disorders. MBIs have shown promising treatment outcomes in a small number of trials, primarily taking place in English-speaking countries. The curre…

Effects of Social Environment on Mortality to Whole Body X-Irradiation in the Rat
Group- and individually-reared rats were exposed to 750 r of whole body x-irradiation and then subdivided into group- and individually-housed samples. There were no differential effects of housing on mortality rate among males. Among females there was an apparent interaction between the pre- and post-irradiation conditions of housing such that for the group-reared females there was a significantly greater mortality rate in the animals housed in g…
Dominance and Emotionality in the Rat and their Effects on Mortality to Whole-Body X-Irradiation
No relationship was found between emotionality and dominance behavior in rats caged in pairs, and neither of these behavioral characteristics was related to mortality following whole-body x-irradiation
Modification of the Incidence of Mating in Rats by Stimulation with a Short Air Blast
325 virgin female rats were individually stimulated with a four-minute air blast on the same day they were individually placed with mature males. Controls were 358 comparable rats. Mating was determined by the presence of vaginal plugs. Χ 2 analysis indicated that significantly more stimulated females were bred on Days 1, 2, 4, or 6 or more. The analysis on accumulative numbers bred revealed that significantly more stimulated females were bred by…
Influence of urbanity on perception of mental illness stigma
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: To examine, for the first time in Vietnam, whether urbanity of respondents among other socio-demographic factors affects the public perception of stigma attached to persons with mental illness in Hanoi. METHODS: A general population-based survey was carried out in 2013 in the greater Hanoi area. The perception of stigma attached to people with mental illness was elicited using Link's perceived discrimination and devaluation s…
Acculturation and severity of depression among first-generation Vietnamese outpatients in Germany
BACKGROUND: Challenges of migration, particularly concerning the process of acculturation are associated with an increased risk of mental illness. Vietnamese migrants constitute the largest Southeast Asian migrant group in Germany, yet there is no data on the relationship between the mental health status and acculturation among this population. AIMS: Therefore, the present study examines the relationship between two well-established dimensions of…
Public attitude towards restrictions on persons with mental illness in greater Hanoi area, Vietnam
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: In recent years, there has been a growing awareness of the need to protect human rights in psychiatry. Within the last years, considerable effort has been made to reduce restrictive measures in mental health settings. Reducing restrictive measures within mental health care has also moved increasingly into the focus of public debate. This study aims, for the first time in a Southeast Asian sample, to explore whether socio-demo…
Stigma of Mental Illness in Germans and Turkish Immigrants in Germany
Background: Stigma poses an additional burden for people suffering from mental illness, one that often impairs their social participation and can prevent them from seeking adequate help. It is therefore crucial to understand how stigma develops in order to counteract it by setting up effective evidence-based anti-stigma interventions. The present study examines the effect of causal beliefs on stigmatizing behavioral intentions, namely people's de…
Psychotherapy in Jordan
Little is known about patient satisfaction, bias, stigma, and the effects of psychotherapy within the Kingdom of Jordan or the Arab world in general. The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of both the Jordanian host and refugee community members from the psychotherapeutic services offered at various mental health care settings in Jordan. A sample of 100 patients who received psychosocial expert interventions was recruited betwee…

Different Patterns of Mental Health Problems in Unaccompanied Refugee Minors (URM)
Unaccompanied refugee minors (URM) represent one of the most vulnerable refugee groups due to their young age, developmental status, and insufficient coping strategies. Clinical observations indicate that the frequency of mental health problems varies between different URM subgroups. In the present research project, clinical interviews as a source of qualitative data were combined with quantitative psychometric information in a mixed-method appro…
Exploring the Representation of Depressive Symptoms and the Influence of Stigma in Arabic-Speaking Refugee Outpatients
The number of distressed refugees from the Arab world is relatively high in Germany and other host countries worldwide. For this specific population, substantial challenges and barriers have already been identified that hamper access to Germany's health care system. This study aims to contribute to this line of research by exploring the representation of depressive symptoms, both somatic and psychological, in order to inform clinicians about the …
Mental Health Determinants Among a Psychiatric Outpatient Sample of Vietnamese Migrants in Germany
Background: Mental health risk-factors for Asian migrants have been studied almost exclusively in the US, Canada, and Australia but not in European countries. Therefore, we aimed to identify sociodemographic, clinical, and migration-surrounding factors associated with experienced mental distress among Vietnamese migrants in Germany. Method: 305 Vietnamese migrants utilizing Germany's first Vietnamese psychiatric outpatient clinic filled out at ad…
