Interprofessional collaboration to support people experiencing self-neglect
Self-neglect, where adult individuals—for varying reasons—do not care for aspects of their health, wellbeing or home environment, involves significant risks and potential for harm. The importance of effective interprofessional and inter-agency collaboration in supporting people experiencing self-neglect is widely recognized, yet research and practice reviews attest to continuing challenges in collaborative working. This realist review integrates …
Autopsy, deathways, and intercultural healthcare in the southern Peruvian Andes
While death remains a popular topic for anthropology, relatively few ethnographic accounts consider the modern bureaucratic processes accompanying it. One such process is public health autopsy, which scholars have largely taken for granted. Existing analysis has regarded it as a form of ‘cultural brokering’ and autopsy reluctance in communities is seen, within both medical and cultural models, as a matter of ontological difference between incomme…
Navigating the challenges of collaborative inter-agency practice in supporting people experiencing self-neglect in England
Self-neglect calls for collaborative inter-agency practice, but also presents distinctive challenges to collaboration, which are well-documented in practice reviews and research. Much existing research in this area has focused exclusively on social work perspectives on interprofessional collaboration. Work is needed that takes a more systemic approach, incorporating perspectives from other professions and services, to support more effective joint…
Mapping and review of self-neglect policies and procedures from safeguarding adults boards in England
Purpose Local Safeguarding Adults Board (SAB) policies, procedures, guidance and related documents on self-neglect were gathered and analysed, to map what approaches are being taken across England. This paper aims to identify areas of divergence to highlight innovations or challenges faced by SABs. Design/methodology/approach Self-neglect documents were identified by searching SAB websites. Data were extracted into a framework enabling synthesis …
Safeguarding Adults and the Law
The previous two editions of this work successfully established themselves as an important reference work for practitioners wanting a clear and informative guide to legal aspects of adult safeguarding. The second edition (Mandelstam, 2013) was published six years ago, and so this update is of considerable value in addressing changes introduced following the passing of the Care Act 2014 and important developments since. As previously, the book res…
Life after armed group involvement in Nepal
Little is known about the longitudinal effects of early age involvement of young people in armed groups and their well-being as they return to strongly affected, politicised communities. Current research and policy are often driven by the assumption of a causal relationship between participation in this war experience and psychological damage. This article explores the role of young people's armed group experience during the Nepal People's War, c…
Self-Neglect
The Care and Support Statutory Guidance (Department of Health, 2014, updated 2016) that followed the 2014 Care Act placed self-neglect for the first time in England among the forms of ‘abuse or neglect’ that might constitute grounds for a safeguarding inquiry. Now textbooks are starting to appear to provide guidance for the changed context of practice: Deborah Barnett’s (2018)Self-Neglect and Hoarding: A Guide to Safeguarding and Support was publ…
Meaning in hoarding
Hoarding has become increasingly prominent in clinical practice and popular culture in recent years, giving rise to extensive research and commentary. Critical responses in the social sciences have criticised the cultural assumptions built in to the construct of 'hoarding disorder' and expressed fears that it may generate stigma outweighing its benefits; however, few of these studies have engaged directly with 'hoarders' themselves. This paper re…
Situating Global Mental Health
This introductory chapter of The Palgrave Handbook of Sociocultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health highlights how understanding about aberrant behaviours has varied across time, geography and culture. Important developments that contributed to the emergence of Global Mental Health are discussed. Rather than a monolithic enterprise, Global Mental Health is presented as a heterogeneous range of practice- and research-based activities concerne…
The Palgrave Handbook of Sociocultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health
This handbook incisively explores challenges and opportunities that exist in efforts aimed at addressing inequities in mental health provision across the globe. Drawing on various disciplines across the humanities, psychology, and social sciences it charts the emergence of Global Mental Health as a field of study. It critically reflects on efforts and interventions being made to globalize mental health policies, and discusses key themes relevant …
Autonomy and Protection in Self-neglect Work
Self-neglect, in which an individual does not attend to their hygiene, health or home surroundings, is one of the most challenging aspects of adult social care practice. In England, its inclusion within the remit of adult safeguarding, as a result of changes in adult social care law introduced under the Care Act 2014, has thrown into relief the ethical dilemmas arising from tensions between respect for autonomy on the one hand and the exercise of…
Ethnographic perspectives on global mental health
The field of Global Mental Health (GMH) aims to influence mental health policy and practice worldwide, with a focus on human rights and access to care. There have been important achievements, but GMH has also been the focus of scholarly controversies arising from political, cultural, and pragmatic critiques. These debates have become increasingly polarized, giving rise to a need for more dialogue and experience-near research to inform theorizing.…
Regulating Mobility in the Peruvian Andes
Significant developments in road safety regulation have taken place in Peru during recent years, reflecting international efforts to reduce worldwide fatalities and injuries. A series of measures has sought to bring about transformations in governmentality among passengers on public transport. Seen ethnographically, these have had uneven success on the ground. In rural provinces of Cusco, situated histories and sociologies of mobility have someti…
Carers’ responses to shifting identity in dementia in Iris and Away From Her
An emphasis on supporting and maintaining self-identity in people who have dementia for as long as possible has gone hand in hand with the revitalisation of dementia interventions, services and empowerment. However, recognition of the need for change, adaptation and personal growth is as necessary when living with dementia as at any other time in people's lives. Those who care for people with dementia must constantly navigate this tension between…
Serious case review findings on the challenges of self-neglect
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to analyse in detail the findings from 40 serious case reviews (SCRs) involving adults who self-neglect, and to consider the commissioning and reporting of such inquiries in the context of accountability that also involves the Coroner and the Local Government Ombudsman. Design/methodology/approach – This study comprised a cross-case analysis of 32 SCRs, using a four-layer design of the adult and their living…

Design/methodology/approach – The study comprised analysis of 40 SCRs where self-neglect featured. The reviews were found through detailed searching of Local Safeguarding Adult Board (LSAB) web sites and through contacts with Board managers and independent chairs. A four layer analysis is presented of …
Making space for embedded knowledge in Global Mental Health
The ‘Global Mental Health’ (GMH) movement, an influential driver of transnational knowledge transfer in the field of mental health, advocates evidence-based strategies to ‘scale up’ services in low- and middle-income countries. As with debates on global and local frameworks for social work, there are concerns about marginalisation of knowledge that does not neatly fit the GMH discourse. This article analyses the professional and disciplinary stru…

Patterns of Persistence amidst Medical Pluralism
When mental illness and related conditions strike among the Quechua-speaking peasant population of southern Peru, they open wide the question of who is best placed to offer the healing that families seek for their afflicted relative. Biomedical doctors and the traditional healers known as yachaqs are the two most commonly consulted sources of help. Yet most families show different patterns of persistence with each; they frequently give up on biom…

Design/methodology/approach The approach taken included a systematic search and thematic analysis of English‐language literature on self‐neglect, workshops with UK‐based adult safeguarding leads and practitioners from social services, police and health service…
The pursuit of certainty in diagnosing dementia
By often taking as its focus the experience of illness in itself, medical anthropology has sometimes neglected the meanings that patients may assign to the diagnostic procedures that they are expected to undergo. This paper puts into anthropological perspective the author's experiences working as an assistant psychologist in two British memory clinics for the detection and treatment of dementia, using comments by patients to illustrate the signif…

Living with a Kidney Transplant
Research has shown that transplantation improves quality of life for patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD), although it does not return to pre-kidney failure levels. This study used focus groups to explore the experience of living with a transplanted kidney. The data were analysed, using thematic analysis, and the following themes were identified: medicalization; fear; gratitude; and coping. These may necessitate constant vigilance, reduce…
