Decreasing public interest in social psychiatry: A commentary
The voice characterisation checklist: Psychometric properties of a brief clinical assessment of voices as social agents
The VoCC is a reliable and internally consistent tool for assessing voice characterisation and will be used to test whether voice characterisation moderates treatment outcome to AVATAR therapy. There is potential wider utility within clinical trials of other relational therapies as well as routine clinical practice

An ethnic-group comparison of caregiver beliefs about early psychotic illness in a UK sample: Implications for evidence-based caregiver interventions
This study aimed to investigate potential ethnic differences in cognitive responses to caregiving in psychosis that might be relevant to the delivery of caregiver interventions for difficulties related to psychosis. We compared cross-sectional outcomes across early-stage caregivers who self-identified as white British ( n = 37) and those who self-identified as black African or Caribbean ( n = 41) using United Kingdom (UK) census ethnicity criteri…
Sense of clubhouse community belonging and empowerment
BACKGROUND: While the neighborhood community literature well documents a link between participation in supportive and effective community groups or activities and empowerment, there is as yet little empirical evidence of this relationship in the context of community mental health programs. AIM: The primary purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between sense of community belonging and empowerment among members of mental health clubh…
Mentoring During the Transition from Care to Prevent Depression: Care Leavers’ Perspectives
A small-scale consultation of care leavers in South London was undertaken in 2013–2014, in order to inform a pilot mentoring scheme to reduce depression in young women through supporting their transition from care to independence. Research on the social factors implicated in the onset and course of depression indicates that social support during stressful events can be protective. Youth mentoring is now widely offered to disadvantaged young peopl…
Forced residential mobility and social support: Impacts on psychiatric disorders among Somali migrants
BACKGROUND: Somali migrants fleeing the civil war in their country face punishing journeys, the loss of homes, possessions, and bereavement. On arrival in the host country they encounter poverty, hostility, and residential instability which may also undermine their mental health. METHODS: An in-depth and semi-structured interview was used to gather detailed accommodation histories for a five year period from 142 Somali migrants recruited in commu…
Imaging Repressed Memories in Motor Conversion Disorder
Objectives: Conversion disorders comprise neurologically unexplained symptoms with a presumed psychiatric cause, though a neuroscientific basis for this is lacking. The standard psychiatric model of conversion holds that events and processes that might explain the symptoms are, by hypothesis, either repressed or subconscious. This makes assessments based on subjective reports unreliable. We circumvent this by using a standardized method to quanti…

Mental disorders among Somali refugees: Developing culturally appropriate measures and assessing socio-cultural risk factors
Case-Finding for Depression Among Medical Outpatients in the Veterans Health Administration
OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine the rates and predictors of screening, screening positive, follow-up evaluation, and subsequent diagnosis of depression among medical outpatients. RESEARCH DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study using chart-review data from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) 2002 External Peer Review Program merged with administrative data. SUBJECTS AND MEASURES: We studied a national sample of VA medical outpatients with…

Stressed Embodiment: Doing Phenomenology in the Wild
Recovery from psychotic illness: A 15- and 25-year international follow-up study
BACKGROUND: Poorly defined cohorts and weak study designs have hampered cross-cultural comparisons of course and outcome in schizophrenia. AIMS: To describe long-term outcome in 18 diverse treated incidence and prevalence cohorts. To compare mortality, 15- and 25-year illness trajectory and the predictive strength of selected baseline and short-term course variables. METHODS: Historic prospective study. Standardised assessments of course and outc…

General Practitioner Referrals To an Ambulatory Psychiatric Service. the Effects of Establishing an Ease of Access Service
The effects of establishing an ease of access 'walk-in' service on General Practitioner referrals to the ambulatory services of a catchment area psychiatric service are outlined. The characteristics of the patients referred are described. GPs made immediate and sustained use of the walk-in service and its creation expanded use of the ambulatory services by an overall 50%. Individual GPs were found to use the ambulatory services disproportionately…

A Unique Approach to Mental Health Services in an HMO: Indemnity Benefit and Service Program
Three years' experience with a unique combination of an indemnity benefit plus an in-house service program in a prepaid group practice plan's psychiatric department demonstrates enhanced accessibility and increased utilization among formerly unserved segments of the membership plus the flexibility of freedom of choice in choosing service provider and the ability to tailor treatment to patient needs. Overall costs were similar to those reported fo…
A Comparison of Mental Health Costs and Utilization Under Three Insurance Models
Published reports on utilization and costs of mental health services provided under three insurance models (prepaid, cost-financed and indemnity) reveal consistently greater utilization of outpatient services, lower overall inpatient utilization and comparable costs among prepaid plans in contrast with other two models. The present study suggests that prepaid plans, by facilitating the use of specialty mental health services by a substantially gr…
