Wavering between life and death
Care for individuals with persistent suicidality should not focus solely on recovery but also on the acceptance and managing of suicidal thoughts. Effective care strategies may include teaching alternative coping and communication methods. The findings underscore the need for continuity of care and emphasize the importance of addressing non-disclosure and transference-countertransference dynamics in therapy
Exploring the Mediating Role of Decisional Conflict in the Relationship Between Shared Decision Making, the Use of Routine Outcome Monitoring, Treatment Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction
In Shared Decision Making (SDM) patients and clinicians make joint decisions about treatment. The use of Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) as a personalized source of information can be helpful when making decisions together. Research suggests this approach has beneficial effects on treatment outcomes and satisfaction. The study aims to investigate if the factors associated with the SDM process contribute to treatment outcomes and satisfaction and…
Recovery of adults with autism spectrum disorder during intensive inpatient treatment
Our results indicate that, given the specific characteristics of autism, therapeutic interventions and goal-oriented work cannot be carried out successfully, and the recovery process cannot begin, if no good working relationship has been established, and if care is not organized in ways that a person on the autism spectrum finds clear and predictable
Suicide prevention gatekeeper training in the Netherlands improves gatekeepers’ knowledge of suicide prevention and their confidence to discuss suicidality, an observational study
The gatekeeper training significantly increases suicide prevention knowledge and skills confidence in abilities to address suicidality. Healthcare, education, socioeconomic and other professionals (e.g. security, justice, transport, church workers) benefit similarly from the training. Increasing the number of gatekeeper training programs in all sectors is recommended
Determinants of attitudes towards professional mental health care, informal help and self-reliance in people with subclinical depression
BACKGROUND: Although little is known about which people with subclinical depression should receive care to prevent the onset of depression, it is clear that remediating symptoms of depression is important. However, depending on the beliefs people hold about help, some people will seek professional help, while others seek informal help or solve problems on their own. AIMS: This study examined associations between attitudes about help and socio-dem…
Recognition of psychopathology with religious content by clergy members
Clergy members (CMs) frequently offer support and counselling for people with mental health problems. The current study aims to obtain insight into the ability among CMs to recognise psychopathology and need for psychiatric treatment. A random sample of CMs (N = 143) and a control sample of mental health professionals (MHPs, N = 73), were compared as to their evaluations of four vignettes. CMs considered the psychiatric states to be related to re…
Factors associated with higher risks of emergency compulsory admission for immigrants
OBJECTIVE: Specific ethnic groups appear to be disproportionally represented in emergency compulsory admissions. This may be due to a parallel higher risk of psychopathology, but different pathways to care in patients from ethnic minorities may also be an explanatory factor. In this article we concentrate on the influence of ethnic background, pathways to psychiatric emergency services and the amount of past psychiatric treatment as predictors of…
Time perspective, personality and psychopathology
Time perspective theory assumes that behaviour is influenced by how individuals link their behaviour to their past, present, and future. This paper explores the concept of time perspective ( Zimbardo and Boyd, 1999 ) within a psychiatric context. We compared 76 individuals, in treatment ( n = 32) or not in treatment ( n = 44). The participants completed the time perspective questionnaire ZTPI, the NEO-PI-R (personality traits), an instrument to m…
Depression and the risk for cardiovascular diseases
Prevention of anxiety and depression in the age group of 75 years and over
Late-life depression and anxiety are characterised by high prevalence, unfavourable prognosis, reduced quality of life, excess mortality and substantial societal costs. No health service, however well equipped, will be able to effectively treat all elderly with depression and anxiety. Therefore, development of (cost) effective means to prevent these disorders is very important
