Rethinking the place of compulsory community mental health treatment in Aotearoa New Zealand: Implications of an assemblage theory approach
Many countries with developed mental health systems permit compulsory treatment for mental illness in community settings. Research has challenged practices associated with the increased use of compulsory community treatment due to non-compliance with human rights and lack of therapeutic efficacy. In the cultural context of Aotearoa New Zealand, this paper introduces a study of the medico-legal process for making compulsory community treatment ord…

I Didn’t Know Whether I Was Right or Wrong or Just Bewildered”: Ambiguity, Responsibility, and Silencing Women’s Talk of Men’s Domestic Violence

Women are likely to be silenced if they assume responsibility and are less likely to come forward. In this study, we use discou…

The following paper focuses specifically on the benefits for psychology research students in engaging with the capacity of theory to enhance the coherence and originality of their academic works (such as theses or dissertations). Barriers to engagement with theory are identified and contri…
Addiction Industry Studies: Understanding How Proconsumption Influences Block Effective Interventions
The legalized consumption of products with addiction potential, such as tobacco and alcohol, contributes in myriad ways to poor physical and mental health and to deterioration in social well- being. These impacts are well documented, as are a range of public health interventions that are demonstrably effective in reducing harm. I have discussed the capacity for the profits from these substances to be deployed in ways that block or divert resource…
Dominance and Entitlement: The Rhetoric Men Use to Discuss their Violence towards Women
Academic interest in applications of rhetoric to social issues is undergoing a revival. This paper develops a rhetorical analysis of discourse generated by men who have been recently violent towards women. The texts have been drawn from transcribed interviews with 14 men who had recently begun or were about to attend stopping violence programmes. Each 90-minute interview prompted the men on their views towards women, violence and relationships. A…
