Narrating the Heritage of Psychiatry
This volume highlights the importance of diverse voices and perspectives in understanding the history and heritage of psychiatry. Exploring the complex interrelations between psychiatry, heritage and power, Narrating the Heritage of Psychiatry complicates the pervasive biomedical narrative of progress in which the history of psychiatry is usually framed. By examining multiple perspectives, including those of users/survivors of mental health services, the collection sheds light on neglected narratives and aims to broaden our understanding of psychiatric history and current practices. In doing so, it also considers the role of art, activism, and community narratives in reimagining and recontextualizing psychiatric heritage. This volume brings into conversation perspectives from practitioners, patients/users and scholars from the humanities and social sciences.
Community Series in Mental Illness, Culture, and Society: Dealing with the COVID-19 Pandemic, volume VIII
The COVID-19 outbreak has impacted many areas of our lives, including mental health. Lockdown and physical distancing measures have been one major effective intervention to counter the spread of the virus and reduce the impact of the disease. However, they have negatively impacted mental well-being and behaviors, either triggering the onset of new psychiatric symptoms and diseases or amplifying pre-existing ones. The pandemic and lockdown measures have also been associated with reduced access to treatment and facilities all over the world, further worsening mental health outcomes. The impact on mental health, although universal, varied between nations. Cultural and societal variables, including norms, values, religion, and stigma have played an important role in shaping COVID-19-related mental health symptoms, including anxiety, depression, grief, psychosis, and addiction. These sociocultural factors have also molded how mental health interventions are tailored and provided. Highlighting the intertwining relationship between the pandemic, mental health, and sociocultural factors are essential to managing emerging mental health symptoms adequately.
Psychological Intervention for Suicidal Ideation, Behavior, and Attempted Suicide
Taking one's own life is called suicide, and approximately 800,000 people worldwide commit suicide every year because of various reasons, according to the World Health Organization. Poor mental health is a major driver of suicide, especially in high-income countries. People who commit suicide perform impulsive destructive behaviors beyond their ability to cope with their stressors; currently, there is a need to establish effective psychotherapies for the same. Suicidal ideation and behavior are involved in attempted suicide, and psychotherapies that specifically intervenes in suicidal ideation may reduce suicidal risk. In this special issue, we would like to collect knowledge regarding psychotherapies/cognitive-behavioral models, wherein the evidence of their effectiveness has been generated by research and clinical trials. We expect the papers collected in this special issue to be a source of good ideas and solutions.
