Community-based Collaborative Care for Serious Mental Illness
Community-based collaborative care (CBCC) is an effective approach for addressing the needs of people with mental health conditions. However, even with the established components of CBCC in place, CBCCs effectiveness for serious mental illnesses (SMIs) remains unknown. This review aims to synthesize qualitative evidence of health care providers’ experiences of CBCC in order to identify key factors that facilitate or hinder collaboration in the sp…
Healthcare providers’ experiences of community-based collaborative care for serious mental illness
Community-based collaborative care (CBCC) is an internationally recognised model of integrated care that emphasises multidisciplinary teamwork and care coordination. In South Africa, community psychiatry has been integrated into some primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. This study examines healthcare providers’ perceptions of collaboration and its challenges in various integrated care settings. Three main components of CBCC (multidisciplinary tea…
Do Integrated Community Psychiatry Services in Primary Health Care Settings Improve Continuity of Care? A Mixed-methods Study of Health Care Users’ Experiences in South Africa
Coordination and continuity of care were constrained in both clinics, regardless of the organisational integration approaches used. As low- and middle-income countries work towards integrating mental health care into PHC, the implementation of organisational integration approaches should consider physical space, caseload, HCU need, and the inclusion of dedicated providers to coordinate care
Confession, psychology and the shaping of subjectivity through interviews with victims of female-perpetrated sexual violence
The making of male victimhood in South African Female-perpetrated Sexual Abuse
Most research on sexual abuse examines the role of men in the perpetration of abuse against women and children. Few studies have explored victims’ accounts of Female-perpetrated Sexual Abuse (FSA), and even fewer have focused on male FSA victims. However, the limited research available demonstrates that there are particular conditions that make it possible for men to identify as FSA victims. This is the first study of its kind that explores the p…
When I Left "Karl Liebknecht" (an excerpt)
In the Karl Liebknecht House in Leipzig, Germany, thirty people of various nationalities are seated around an improvised table on the stage in the Events Hall, interpreters behind them, some with texts in front of them, some without, and while it looks as if they're at an ordinary meeting, they are, in fact, at an exceptional one, one that could be called a performance. They are taking part in a pilot project organized by the Society of Admirers …
Research shouldn’t be a dirty thought, but race is a problematic construct
The use of race in research is always problematic as it is loaded with dangers and unforeseeable consequences. Where race (or ethnicity interpreted as colour-based) is used as a variable or an ‘explanation’, politically constructed racial categories are reproduced, thereby perpetuating stigma, discrimination, and racism. It was precisely this use of race that was exemplified in the recent publication, and subsequent retraction, of an article by N…
Surfacing (im)possible victims
Female sex abuse (FSA) has recently gained increased visibility in academia, the legal and mental health systems and the media both globally and in South Africa. However, the academic research currently in circulation is primarily focused on abusers, resulting in very limited information on the victims. Victim data that is available is based mainly on studies conducted with these abusers. FSA victimhood is underexplored and many victims remain in…
Playful Identities
In this edited volume, eighteen scholars examine the increasing role of digital media technologies in identity construction through play. Going beyond computer games, this interdisciplinary collection argues that present-day play and games are not only appropriate metaphors for capturing postmodern human identities, but are in fact the means by which people create their identity. From discussions of World of Warcraft and Foursquare to digital car…
The second wave of violence scholarship
Community, intervention and provider support influences on implementation
This evaluation illustrated the complexity of intervention implementation. The study approach sought to support intervention fidelity by fostering and maintaining community endorsement and support, a prerequisite for the unfolding implementation of the intervention
Community conversations as community engagement
This article reviews community conversations as a community engagement tool within the South African context by exploring the perceptions of the conversation hosts. A focus group discussion was held with community conversation hosts to better understand the community conversation process and its community engagement value. Their reflections are reviewed against four principles of community engagement, namely, appreciation, applicability, provocat…
The Philosophical Assumptions, Utility and Challenges of Asset Mapping Approaches to Community Engagement
This literature review is a discussion of asset-based approaches to community engagement. Following a literature search, we identified several asset mapping approaches: Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD); Participatory Inquiry into Religious Health Assets, Networks and Agency (PIRHANA); Community Health Assets Mapping for Partnerships (CHAMP); the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach (SLA); Planning for Real® and approaches using Geographic Inf…
A Critical Review of Instruments Assessing Characteristics of Community
Community development is critical in South African and other low- to middle-income contexts characterised by unemployment, violence, poverty and poor infrastructure. The current asset-based trend in community research emphasises constructive community development and change through the mobilisation of existing and unrecognised community resources and skills. Following this trend we critically examine the conceptual soundness and logic of asset-ba…
Accounting for the ‘invisibility’ of the female paedophile
Female child sex offenders are, for the most part, invisible within the existing body of scholarly literature. Additionally, female child sexual offenders are met with disbelief by the public and there are rarely legal consequences for their actions. However, the few studies reporting on female child sexual interest reveal that up to a quarter of reported child sexual abuse cases may involve female perpetrators. This figure implies a discrepancy …
