Unraveling the complexities of early-onset colorectal cancer
While advances in screening have resulted in declining rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) among adults ≥50 years of age since the mid-2000s, the incidence of early-onset CRC (EOCRC) has steadily increased over the last decade. This increase is not fully accounted for by hereditary factors, and the hypothesis that a sedentary lifestyle and obesity are the primary culprits is not fully supported by recent reports indicating that many affected individ…

The Early Films of William Ferris (1968-1975)
The Early Films of William Ferris (1968–1975) features seven films of William “Bill” Ferris’ documentation of music and craft traditions, storytelling, and expressive labor and spiritual practices of Black families and communities predominantly in the Mississippi Delta region. Importantly, these art forms, which include blues music, are presented as intertwined with the everyday life and activities of the communities in which they are practiced. …
Meeting the advocacy needs of people who have been abused by health and social care practitioners

POPAN has a small staff group of eight people and a larger network of advisers, supporters and allies; its activities include campaigning, training, consultancy, and the provision of information, advice and advocacy.

Medical Treatment of Women with Lupus. The case for sharing knowledge and decision-making
Few women patients in this study were found to be active partners in the medical management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Despite the growing emphasis on doctors and patients sharing knowledge and decision-making power, most of the women were struggling to have their symptoms and needs taken seriously, and appeared relatively powerless in relation to the medical profession. Acknowledging patient expertise requires that doctors share some…
Mental Health Services for 'Difficult' Women
The provision of mental health services to women has come sharply into focus for providers of secure psychiatric services in the UK. Women's services are being developed in response to the known risks of mixed-sex provision, and a growing appreciation of the ways that women in secure services can be further disadvantaged by their minority status. Our intention here is to present evidence and reflections to help inform this development. The eviden…
Abuse in mental health services
The mental health field is viewed by some as reluctant to tackle the problem of abuse. While ‘adult protection’ offers one way forward, the authors of this paper caution against over‐enthusiastic borrowing from this paradigm. Instead they argue that mental health services will only become intolerant of abuse when there is widespread acceptance of the role of power abuse in psychological distress and disturbance
Meeting the mental health needs of older women
This paper focuses on older women, as they are the majority sufferers of mental illness in later life, and are particularly vulnerable to the cumulative effects of lifelong and age-related inequalities. The authors, who draw upon literature from the fields of gerontology and mental health, argue that for effective care to be developed, older women's mental ill health needs to be seen within the context of their past and present experience of soci…
Working with Women in Special Hospitals
This is an edited version of a conversation that took place between myself and four other clinical psychologists who had been actively involved in developing better services for women living in Ashworth and Rampton hospitals - two of the three high security psychiatric hospitals in England. There have been long-standing concerns about the quality of the services provided by these Special Hospitals, 1 and a public inquiry 2 in 1992 identified serv…
Working with Mental Health Service Users to Change Mental Health Services
During the last ten years in the UK, service user consultation and collaboration has gradually entered the vocabulary of people providing and purchasing mental health services. However, we are not convinced that much needed change in mental health services will be achieved as a function of increased commitment to market consumerism. We argue here that service user consultation and collaboration should take account of the effects of social inequal…
