Restorative justice practice in forensic mental health settings
Restorative justice practice in forensic mental health settings: bridging the gap The ‘clinic’ has developed sophisticated systems for responding to the challenge of serious mental health conditions. Mental health services combine hierarchical decision-making processes, with clear medical authority, with interventions that are required to be evidence-based to the highest standard. This is a system in which ethical, defensible practice is imperati…
Performing restorative justice
Performing restorative justice: facilitator experience of delivery of the Sycamore Tree Programme in a forensic mental health unit Restorative justice has increasingly been used across the criminal justice system. However, there is limited evidence of its use with service users within forensic mental health settings. This study conducted a focused ethnography in a medium secure unit in the UK to explore the implementation of the Sycamore Tree Pro…
Descriptions and prescriptions
The paradoxical use of interpreting in psychiatry
Beyond Words
South Africa’s political history has led to a marginalizing of all languages except for English and Afrikaans. Many clinicians cannot speak the languages spoken by patients. We attempt to understand the slow progress towards achieving greater access to mental health services on the basis of language. The administrative constraints of an overburdened and bureaucratized health system lead to language and communication playing a relatively small par…
The Cultural Construction of Healing in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) has been widely hailed by mental health practitioners and others as a source of psychological healing. In this article we consider this claim and its relevance to clinical practice. Recent research in anthropology and related disciplines in South Africa and elsewhere raises questions about the cultural construction of traumatic memory and healing. We argue that these questions have bearing on how we u…
A concept over-burdened
The political and social transformations taking place in South Africa have given rise to a mood of optimism regarding the speed and extent of the changes that are possible in a short space of time. In the context of limited language resources for the delivery of health care, the role of the interpreter has particular currency. However, interpreters' multiple roles in health care contexts have been extensively and, at times, controversially descri…
Psychiatry, Post-Apartheid Integration and the Neglected Role of Language in South African Institutional Contexts
This study examined the use of interpreters with patients who are speakers of African languages at a recently integrated psychiatric institution in post-apartheid South Africa. The research process itself reflected important aspects of the institutional dynamics around the issues of language and ethnicity. The impact of inadequate language resources on service provision was profound. Interpreters have a role in alleviating the difficulties descri…
