Increasing the Value of Health Intervention Trials
Despite the substantial capacity of qualitative and mixed methods research to advance healthcare and interventions knowledge, most large-scale health intervention trials exclusively use quantitative methods. The authors argue that qualitative research can optimize investments in these studies. As researchers within the Early Psychosis Intervention Network (EPINET), the authors highlight examples of how qualitative research has enhanced this natio…
Lessons from Critical and Transnational Disability Perspectives for Social Work
This paper calls on social work to incorporate anti-oppressive paradigms in research, practice, education, and policy by developing a critical understanding of disability. Critical disability studies is an interdisciplinary field that challenges hegemonic framings that individualize and pathologize disability and recognizes the ways in which ableism intersects with other systems of oppression. Transnational disability studies provides explicit at…
A Path Wayward
In contemporary MSW programs in the United States, clinical and mental health coursework frequently centers evidence-based practices (EBPs), communicates and explains problems of living (“psychopathology”) through the narrow lens of the APA Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM), and rarely provides students with a deeper critique of the recalcitrantly medicalized mainstream of psychiatric services and interventions. In spite of a rich history o…
A County-Level Case Study of Early Psychosis in the Context of a Hybrid Juvenile Competency Restoration and Mental Health Problem-Solving Court and Linkage to Coordinated Specialty Care Services
Experiencing and treating ‘madness’ in the United States circa 1967–2022
Over the past 55 years, in the United States, we have witnessed shifts and changes in mental health treatment practice and policy focused on ‘psychosis.’ Alarmingly, in this same period, neither in its social location nor its clinical outcomes, has psychosis, particularly multi-episode psychosis, shown much substantive improvement (Hansen et al., 2022; Huxley et al., 2021). Epidemiological studies of stigma have documented the worsening of percei…
Cycles of reform in the history of psychosis treatment in the United States
The history of psychosis treatment follows a series of four cycles of reform which provide a framework for understanding mental health services in the United States. The first three cycles of reform promoted the view that early treatment of mental disorders would reduce chronic impairment and disability. The Moral Treatment era (early 1800's to 1890) featured freestanding asylums, the Mental Hygiene movement (1890 to World War II) introduced psyc…
Recovering the Vocational Self
Programmatic Support for Peer Specialists that Serve Transition Age Youth Living with Serious Mental Illness
Peer Specialists (PS) often work in outpatient mental health programs serving transition age youth (TAY). This study examines program managers' perspectives on efforts to strengthen PS' professional development. In 2019, we interviewed program managers (n = 11) from two Southern California Counties employed by public outpatient mental health programs (n = 8) serving TAY and conducted thematic analyses. We present themes and illustrative quotes. P…

Embedding lived experience into mental health academic research organizations
BACKGROUND: As part of a growing emphasis on engaging people with lived experience of mental health conditions in mental health research, there are increasing calls to consider and embed lived experience throughout academic research institutes. This extends beyond the engagement of lay patients and also considers the potential roles of academic researchers with lived experience. When the lived experience of academic researchers is applied to acad…
Special Series Introduction
The Sensory and Perceptual Scaffolding of Absorption, Inner Speech, and Self in Psychosis
This study examines the interconnectedness between absorption, inner speech, self, and psychopathology. Absorption involves an intense focus and immersion in mental imagery, sensory/perceptual stimuli, or vivid imagination that involves decreased self-awareness and alterations in consciousness. In psychosis, the dissolution and permeability in the demarcation between self and one's sensory experiences and perceptions, and also between self-other …
How mental health care should change as a consequence of the Covid-19 pandemic
Psychosis in public mental health
Whereas a growing literature has sought to understand challenges involved in the dissemination and implementation of specific evidence-based practices (EBP), few studies have centered on the perspectives of front-line community providers regarding best practices, clinical ideals and barriers to quality improvement for clients with psychosis. The goal of this project was to lay a foundation for future work aimed at improving the overall quality an…
Standards and Guidelines for the Development of Diagnostic Nomenclatures and Alternatives in Mental Health Research and Practice
Diagnostic nomenclatures have been central to mental health research and practice since the turn of the 20th century. In recent years, an increasing number of mental health professionals have proposed that a paradigm shift in diagnosis is inevitable. The Standards and Guidelines for the Development of Diagnostic Nomenclatures and Alternatives in Mental Health Research and Practice are intended to serve as a reference for the development of scient…
Immersion in altered experience
Exploring the Intersections of Trauma, Structural Adversity, and Psychosis among a Primarily African-American Sample
Traumatic life events (TLEs) have been associated with multiple psychiatric diagnoses, including anxiety disorders, major depression, PTSD, and psychosis. To advance our understanding of the complex interactions between forms of adversity as they manifest across the lifespan, psychosis, and symptom content, we undertook a mixed-methods investigation of TLEs and psychosis. Our research explored the association between cumulative exposures, type of…
What is the impact of self-stigma? Loss of self-respect and the “why try” effect
BACKGROUND: The "Why Try" phenomenon, a consequence of self-stigma, is a sense of futility that occurs when people believe they are unworthy or incapable of achieving personal goals because they apply the stereotypes of mental illness to themselves. AIMS: This study examines a four-stage model of self-stigma (aware, agree, apply, and self-stigma harm) and examines the "why try" effect as a result. We do that by testing a measure of "why try." MET…
God in the brain
There is a growing literature on what contemporary cultural theorists have broadly termed the "postsecular": the abandonment of clear-cut boundaries between the secular and nonsecular in the industrialized West and an embrace of a complex understanding of what is real that neither accepts nor rejects the supernatural. These new cultural currents may affect not only philosophers and theologians, but also the ways in which individuals with psychosi…
Beyond Symptoms? Investigating Predictors of Sense of Campus Belonging Among Postsecondary Students With Psychiatric Disabilities
This study investigated predictors of sense of campus belonging among postsecondary students with psychiatric disabilities. Participants were 566 current or past students with self-reported diagnoses of schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression. Descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data. Regression results showed that campus engagement and psychosocial inclusion variable…
Mental Health Stigma in the Muslim Community
Mental illness stigma continues to be a major barrier for individuals with mental illness. In this paper, we define constructs that comprise stigma (e.g., attitudes, stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination), discuss the harmful effects (e.g., label avoidance, public stigma, self-stigma) and present factors that may influence them (e.g., concealability). In order to better understand mental health stigma in Muslim community, we focus on intersectio…

Validating the SF-36 health survey questionnaire
OBJECTIVES: To test the acceptability, validity, and reliability of the short form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36) and to compare it with the Nottingham health profile. DESIGN: Postal survey using a questionnaire booklet together with a letter from the general practitioner. Non-respondents received two reminders at two week intervals. The SF-36 questionnaire was retested on a subsample of respondents two weeks after the first mailing. SETT…
