Grounded in stigma resistance theory, this ethnographic study identifies resistance strategies employed by patients and families within a Chinese psychiatric hospital, often in collaboration with institutional practices.

Based on 16 months of fieldwork in a Chinese psychiatric hospital from 2017 to 2019, this study applies Myers's concept of moral agency to explore the efforts of three women with mental illness in their pursuits of a better life, examining their actions and interactions with social workers throughout the process. It enriches our understanding of moral agency by demonstrating that its actualization requires not only freedom, intention, and access …
Volunteers’ initial motivations in a community-based end-of-life care programme and the associations with their eudaimonic well-being

This study investigated volunteers' motivation to join EoLC teams, and their eudaimonic well-being. The self-determination theory (SDT) framed the analysis. A self-administered survey recorded demographics, the 30-item Chinese Version of the Volunteer Functions Inventory (C-…
When psychiatry encounters local knowledge of madness: Ethnographic observations in a Chinese psychiatric hospital
As the number of psychiatric hospitals are on the rise in China, this article examines how the psychiatric discourse as articulated by hospital staff interacts with local cultural understandings of madness/mental illness, as well as how such interactions impact patients and families’ reception of psychiatry. Data comes from 16 months of fieldwork in a psychiatric hospital in South China. We show that psychiatric professionals at the hospital atte…

This article offers a preliminary analysis of psychiatric treatment during the Chinese Cultural Revolution on the basis of interviews and rare case records obtained from ‘F Hospital’ in southern China. In contrast to the prevailing view of psychiatry during this time, which highlights either rampant patient abuse or revolutionary ideology, we show that psychiatric treatment at this facility was not radically altered by the politics of the Maoist …
