An integrated scenario‐based adverse drug reaction education programme
Adverse drug reaction (ADR) assessment, reporting and communication by healthcare professionals (HCPs) remains suboptimal, potentially leading to poor patient outcomes.1 Variability of ADR management in hospital settings is partly due to limited teaching of basic scientific principles concerning ADRs in pre-vocational university courses, as well as the lack of opportunities to apply integrated ADR concepts to solve complex problems commonly encou…
Confidentiality and Ethical Practice in Child and Adolescent Mental Health
This paper examines the concept of confidentiality and the quality of the relationship between young people experiencing mental health problems and social workers supporting them. The nature of a therapeutic intervention brings into focus the rigidities and complexities in adhering to agency and professional guidelines on confidentiality. The paper highlights the tensions and ethical dilemmas in making decisions about risk and whether, when, and …
Young people's mental health
Children and young people have the capacity to conjure feelings of faith and hope when experiencing emotional and psychological distress. World myths, legends and fairy stories as part of early child development offer a rich source of material to draw from and enlist in the therapeutic endeavour. Fairies often act in a healing capacity in mythology, or they appear as agents between the world of human affairs and the invisible forces of nature. My…

The Morphing of Family Therapy and Family Support
This paper focuses on contemporary British public policy and how social policies and feminist-informed family therapy are influencing and challenging each other. The concept and practice of family support is evaluated in terms of the central political role it fulfils in replicating stereotyped gender roles and normative family constructs. It is argued that family support and family therapy are morphing as government policies encourage more volunt…
Towards culturally competent practice in child and adolescent mental health
English The mental health needs of refugee and asylum-seeking children and adolescents are failing to be addressed. This article evaluates evidence from studies designed to address this omission, and describes a contemporary culturally competent model based on holistic, psycho-social principles of social work practice. French Les besoins en santé mentale des enfants et adolescents réfugiés et demandeurs d'asile ne sont pas pris en compte. A parti…

The interprofessional and participative consultative process when designing a disability equality staff training programme based on a social model of disability is evaluated. The methodology and conceptual thinking of the research process is analysed using the qualitative data generated…
Family support and family therapy – same difference
This article discusses the relationship between family support and family therapy and the historical ambivalence between them. Decisions on what form of help to offer families based on effectiveness, efficiency and acceptability are therefore crucial. A review of the characteristics and measures of effectiveness is used to articulate the similarities in both interventions. By illustrating the false dichotomy between them, practitioners in both mo…
Social Work and Child Mental Health
The increased prevalence, complexity and earlier onset of child and adolescent mental health difficulties, has prompted government initiatives to reconfigure current provision for this client group, their parents and the carers who try to support them. Social workers have an important part to play in responding to the needs of these individual children and families. A residual, care management role is not adequate in these circumstances. This pap…

Self-Reported High-Risk Behavioral History of HIV Positive Prison Inmates
30 male HIV positive prison inmates tended to deny high-risk behavior for infection, most notably homosexuality. The public health implications are that the veracity of such denial should not be assumed
Self-Serving Attributions for Individual and Group Performance
This study compares the self-serving attributions made by individuals acting alone with those acting in groups. Attributions for group performance to causal factors other than self and environment are also explored. 549 statements by professional athletes were coded for their attributional content. Lone performers made more self-serving attributions than team performers. Also, as player actions became more interdependent, players made fewer self-…
