To cross or not to cross
Recent studies suggest that culturally divergent explanatory models of illness and treatment practices, differing physician-patient goals and expectations, and mistrust and misunderstandings between refugee patients and health care professionals are associated with lower health care utilization and outcomes among refugees in Western host countries. In our experience working as psychiatrists with persons who are refugees, we have found that attent…
Khat Use is Associated with Tobacco, Alcohol, and Illicit Drug Use
No study has systematically examined khat (Catha edulis) use and its linkages with other substance use in the United States. This study provides novel findings related to the associations of khat with other substance use among immigrants in metropolitan areas of Minnesota where large East African communities reside. Using a convenience sampling, a total of 261 individuals completed a brief face-to-face interview during which demographic informati…
Creative Writing as Research IV Part 2
This special issue of TEXT responds to the current challenge faced by writers in the academy to identify with greater precision what it is about their work which is genuinely an original contribution to knowledge across the field of creative writing (or, more rarely, in another field). It follows from the acclaim with which the first three _Creative Writing as Research_ special issues, published in TEXT in 2010, 2012 and 2014, have been met. In t…
Moral worry and religiosity in US and Canadian college samples
The objective of this study was to investigate the presence of worry about personal moral attitudes and behaviors in two college samples, and to check associations with religiosity, age, gender, personality traits, and geographic region. The study sample was drawn from college students in Minneapolis, Minnesota (N = 333) and Sydney, Nova Scotia (N = 137). Instruments consisted of moral worry and religiosity questionnaires, and the Eysenck Persona…
Psychiatrists’ attitudes and practices regarding the moral worries of their patients
The 2004 presidential election process highlighted the relevance to the American public of the moral character of each candidate. Recent works in psychology and philosophy have enlarged our understanding of the moral emotions, especially guilt, shame, regret, and remorse, and the centrality of a sense of moral concern in defining personal identity. A previous study demonstrated that patients report a moderate degree of worry about moral issues in…
A reappraisal of medieval mysticism & hysteria
This paper examines the historical association between medieval mysticism and asceticism and the psychopathological condition of hysteria. We first review the particular forms of medieval mysticism and asceticism that seem to have inspired modern psychiatrists and reductive historians to dismiss these phenomena as indubitably neurotic behaviours. Then we review the concept of hysteria as it evolved during the last two centuries for points of conv…
Moral Conflict as a Component of Ordinary Worry
This article contributes to the psychology of moral behavior by inquiring into the presence and extent of worrying about moral concerns in one's life relative to worrying about practical concerns. A 20-item questionnaire was developed, mixing eight moral worry questions with twelve ordinary worry items (finances, health) identified in previous research on worry. Factor analysis produced three domains of worrisome thinking: moral concerns, social …

Medieval Dynastic Decisions
Medieval Dynastic Decisions: Evolutionary Biology and Historical Explanation It often occurs in studying the past that the actions of individuals appear puzzling when viewed with conventional historiographical lenses. In this article, we examine two cases in Angevin history that resist analysis based on historical models of causation such as raison d'etat, economic exploitation, or geopolitical advantage, and therefore invite exploration through …

In‐patient community meetings
The role of the in‐patient community meeting is discussed in relation to the general difficulty of attributing specific effectiveness to any type of therapeutic activity on an in‐patient service. Close scrutiny of such units demonstrates that staff and patients are composed of several heterogeneous subgroups, not all of whom share common attitudes and values or benefit from similar activities. Within this framework the major problems as well as f…
The concept of childhood in the middle ages
The question is raised of whether the Middle Ages held a view of the nature of childhood as distinct from adulthood. Evidence is offered from legal documents, medical writings, and church and monastic chronicles to support the viewpoint that the special nature of the child was perceived (although with great ambivalence) as being fragile, vulnerable, and naive, while also possessing a potential for closeness to God and the supernatural world.
