Abstract:
This family blockbuster film is about aliens given asylum on earth on condition they follow certain rules. Basically these are to live in a stated place, to allow access to the Men in Black and to remain in human disguise while in public places so as to not frighten the natives. The heroes are human secret agents who monitor the well-being of the aliens and ensure that they abide by their conditions of residence. Striking parallels with recent mental health developments are evident, particularly to at-risk registers and supervised discharge orders. This paper discusses these similarities and their possible consequences referring to events in the film to illustrate relevant points.

Abstract:
In psychiatry the interplay of sameness and otherness is of special interest and importance. Patients suffering from mental disorders are deeply affected by the experience of the otherness of oneself and the resulting marked changes in the surrounding world. Otherness is strongly connected with alienation, again a phenomenon which most of our patients with mental disorders suffer from. In this context we should not forget, however, that in former times medical doctors dealing professionally with mental disorders were called alienists indicating on the one hand that they are treating ‘aliens’ but on the other hand indicating the ‘alien role’ of psychiatrists. Alienation leads quite often to objections and hostile behaviour. For these reasons hospitality has to play a profound role in treatment programs for patients suffering from mental disorders and their aftermaths. J.Derrida rightly underlined the structural similarity of the words hostility and hospitality. Treatment settings are usually characterized by mutual and ambiguous relations between sameness and otherness, between acceptance and rejection, welcoming and refusal, integration and disintegration. This means that the problems resulting from the interplay of the sameness and otherness do not affect only patents but also treatment teams. One of the way-outs of the dilemma may be a profound change in treating persons with mental disorders - from the monologue of professionals to the mentally ill patients (no seldom leading to the experience of alienation) to a professional dialogue in a warm atmosphere of hospitality opening the chance for a concerted treatment approach based on reciprocity and confidence.

Extraterrestrial kidnapping is in vogue. A dozen books are available that detail accounts by alleged victims. A telephone survey of almost 6000 Americans revealed that many reported ‘abduction by an alien’. BBC's Horizon programme sent Dr Susan Blackmore, psychologist and TV-troubleshooter for the paranormal, to investigate.

Abstract:
A narrative of my developmental trauma is presented. This trauma would not hit the headlines – it was ‘ordinary’, nobody’s fault, just ‘one of those things’. It did however have follow-on effects on emotional difficulties I had as a teenager and adult, on life choices, and on later becoming, and working as, a counsellor. I suggest the metaphor of dance as illustrating the benefit of having a trauma history.

Abstract:
This commentary imagines what responses to mental distress on Planet Earth might look like to a rational, humane alien from a planet where responses to people with mental distress are compassionate and just. The alien visits Canada and New Zealand and concludes that discrimination skews social and service responses and that the narrow, deficits approach to services does not improve outcomes. Despite this, the alien perceives little sense of urgency for change. The alien then describes the recovery-oriented responses on their own planet and makes recommendations for system change on Planet Earth. The alien points out that deep change in a system with finite resources will require removing the “control” elements of services, closing hospitals, and reducing the dominance of biological psychiatry. The alien emphasizes that it is not sufficient just to build the leadership of people with mental distress, provide a broader range of services for diverse cultures and communities, and promote social inclusion if the failed elements of the old system remain.

Abstract:
To provide effective mental health support for students, school policies should be based on current research. This poses a great concern because historically, Canadian mental health policies do not rely on research (Nelson, 2012). This study investigates the mental health strategy (a type of policy) of a large public school board in Canada, to determine if the strategy aligns with current research on school mental health. To analyze the strategy, I collected current research about school mental health practices and tabulated the best practices into a checklist. I utilized the checklist to assess the mental health strategy. Overall, the strategy included 12 out of the 17 practices on the checklist, suggesting that the school board did a satisfactory job of incorporating research-based mental health practices. However, there is still room for improvement; input from students and staff can add value to the evaluation of the strategy.

Abstract:
Objectius: Analitzar l’exposició a riscos psicosocials dels treballadors assalariats immigrants a Espanya comparant-la amb la dels espanyols i estudiar el paper dels riscos psicosocials en la relació entre la immigració i la salut mental. Mètodes: Estudi transversal realitzat per l’Institut Sindical de Treball, Ambient i Salut (ISTAS) entre el 2004 i el 2005 sobre una mostra representativa de població assalariada resident a Espanya. La informació s’obtingué a través d’un qüestionari estandarditzat administrat per entrevistador a domicili. La grandària de la mostra d’estudi fou de 7.555 treballadors, dels quals 6.868 eren espanyols i 687 eren immigrants. Per les exigències i la inseguretat, l’exposició es va definir segons el tercil més alt, mentre que per les altres dimensions, va ser definida segons el tercil més baix. La salut mental es dicotomitzà en bona i dolenta segons la mediana, que fou 76. Principals resultats: Els treballadors que estaven més exposats als riscos psicosocials van ser els immigrants manuals, especialment, en les baixes possibilitats de desenvolupament (PR: 2,87; IC95%: 2,44-3,73), i les dones immigrants, particularment en el baix control sobre els temps a disposició (PR: 1,72; IC95%: 1,55-1,91). Els treballadors immigrants amb elevades exigències quantitatives (PR: 1,46; IC95%: 1,34-1,59), elevades exigències emocionals (PR: 1,42; IC95%: 1,30-1,56), elevades exigències d’amagar emocions (PR:1,35; IC95%: 1,21-1,50), baixes possibilitats de desenvolupament (PR: 1,21; IC95%: 1,09-1,33), baixos nivells de suport social entre companys (PR: 1,41; IC95%: 1,30-1,53) i baixa estima (PR: 1,53; IC95%: 1,42-1,66) eren els treballadors que percebien pitjor salut mental. Conclusions: Els treballadors immigrants, especialment, els manuals i les dones, eren els més exposats a riscos psicosocials. Els treballadors més exposats als riscos psicosocials eren els que percebien pitjor salut mental. Per a millorar la salut mental dels treballadors, és necessari implementar mesures preventives per tal d’eradicar els riscos psicosocials, especialment dels grups més vulnerables.

Abstract:
AbstractFreebody demonstrates how the divergent pathways to professionalisation taken by French and English psychiatry generated different views regarding the causation and treatment of mental disorders, and the therapeutic value attributed to work and other occupations. French psychiatry’s close links to neurology led to an adherence to a physiological interpretation of mental disorder, and to the persistence of a custodial model of care, or “alienism”, in the provinces, and to a preference for biological methods of treatment in the capital. After their experiences of treating “shell shock” during World War I, English psychiatrists (and a small group of Parisian psychiatrists) began to see the causes of mental disorder holistically, the result of psychological, social or environmental factors, or a combination of these and physiological factors. For these psychiatrists, occupation and psychotherapy became useful tools in the active treatment of curable patients, not simply the preserve of calm, chronic, incurable and convalescent patients.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter looks at conversations around depression and anxiety in the online archives of Cosmopolitan (US) and Teen Vogue. I examine the different orientations of these magazines when it comes to mental health by discussing their respective styles, tone, narratives, mode of address, and types of pedagogy and support around these issues. While Cosmopolitan tended to follow a script for postfeminist media—full of contradictions, covering serious topics in a tongue-in-cheek way that undermined any gravity, Teen Vogue offered a nuanced portrayal of mental illness that incited its readers to a more critical and engaged interpretation of dominant mental health paradigms. In this sense Cosmo provides an example of profitable vulnerability in that it aligns itself with the trendy themes of depression, anxiety, and other diagnoses, while maintaining a comfortable distance that avoids striking a too somber or heavy tone. Teen Vogue, on the other hand, does offer more spacious definitions of mental illness that does not shy away from difficult conversations. With their focus on support and their providing of resources, they are more aligned with the critical sad girl culture found on social media.

Abstract:
AbstractAccording to VBP, to determine whether an individual ought to be able to choose to have safe, effective and truly consensual sexual orientation change efforts (SOCE—also known as conversion therapy), the legitimate values—values compatible with mutual respect—of the individual involved and other affected parties need to be considered. Fulford suggests that homophobic values are incompatible with mutual respect, which suggests that SOCE should not be available. This chapter argues that certain homophobic values may be compatible with mutual respect. Hence, in certain circumstances, VBP could allow safe, effective and truly consensual SOCE to go ahead. This could be considered to be a weakness of VBP. However, VBP should be applauded for considering the values of all involved, including those who make choices for themselves that do not align with the dominant ideology of a society.

Abstract:
AbstractWe present the case of a 29-year-old single Bulgarian woman, Alice, who lived and worked alone in Germany at the time she presented with signs of acute psychosis, more specifically work-related paranoid ideation. She was diagnosed with Brief Psychotic Disorder and treated successfully with Perphenazine. A return to her home town in Bulgaria with concurrent discontinuation of antipsychotic treatment brought about a change in delusional content. She was now excessively preoccupied with religious themes, ancient rituals, and local traditions, and responded well to treatment with Olanzapine. Alice reluctantly returned to Germany but every time she started a new job she experienced depressive and paranoid exacerbations in spite of strict medication adherence. In the last 3 years, she has lived in Bulgaria and has been medication and episode free. We discuss the complex interaction between the experiences of expatriation, premorbid personality, and cultural values (of the patient and her family) in the etiology, course and outcome of brief psychotic disorder. We raise the possibility that contemporary Bulgarian cultural values (as described in a recent comparative international study) were important in Alice’s recovery and, as such, may have wider significance as protective factors for those at risk of mental disorder.

Abstract:
AbstractIn prison, the provision of care and the surveillance of inmates takes place in multiple locations with several often contradictory demands. Inmates may experience a fragmentation of services because of the separate silos in which criminal justice service and mental health professionals work and the distinct ways of working that develop within these. A greater alignment between services is required. This chapter focuses on interagency meetings in a Norwegian prison. These are groups that aim to develop an holistic perspective of the inmate’s situation and problems, and are seen as an innovative way to overcome the contradiction between ‘treatment’ and ‘punishment’ prison paradigms applied by the different professionals working together in the prison and mental health services. We analysed how the professionals interact at interagency meetings, and how they align their tasks, goals, roles and expertise to support the inmate’s imprisonment and rehabilitation. Our analysis illustrates the multiple ways in which this collective activity is conceptualised by the participants and then provides a model of interorganisational dynamics through which these collaborations may be fostered. By so doing, we have made suggestions about how to enhance interprofessional collaboration between prison and mental health services. The chapter also contributes to research on challenges and opportunities for collaboration in complex organisational settings.

Abstract:
AbstractThe increase in life expectancy and emphasis on self-reliance for older adults are global phenomena. As such, living healthily in the community is considered a viable means of promoting successful and active aging. Existing knowledge indicates the prevalence of health illiteracy among the older population and the impact of poor health literacy on health outcomes and health care costs. Nevertheless, e-health literacy is a critical issue for a rapidly aging population in a technology-driven society. Intergenerational studies reported that older adults enjoy engaging with younger people and benefit from the social stimulation by improved social behaviours, intergenerational social network, and participation.An Intergenerational e-health Literacy Program (I-HeLP) is developed to draw upon the IT-savvy strength of the youth, and teach older adults to seek, understand and appraise health information from electronic sources and apply knowledge gained to address the health problem. I-HeLP is an evidence-based program, which provides comprehensive coverage on relevant health-related e-resources. I-HeLP aims to engage youth volunteers to teach older adults regarding e-health literacy, and enhance older adults’ sense of coherence, e-health literacy, physical and mental health, cognitive function, quality of life, and intergenerational communication. I-HeLP promotes social participation, health, and wellbeing of older adults, and empowers the younger generation to play an active role in society. Furthermore, I-HeLP aligns with the ‘Smart Nation’ initiative by the Singapore government to empower citizens to lead meaningful and fulfilled lives with the use of technology.

Abstract:
Early detection of clusters of health conditions is essential to proactive clinical and public health interventions. Effective intervention strategies require real-time insights into the health needs of the communities. Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have emerged as a promising avenue to detect patterns in health indicators at an individual and population level. The purpose of this paper is to describe the novel expanded application of AI to detect clusters in health conditions and community health needs to facilitate real-time intervention and prevention strategies. Case-use examples demonstrate the capabilities of AI to harness a variety of data to improve health outcomes in conditions ranging from infectious diseases, non-communicable diseases, and mental health disorders. AI systems have been utilized in syndromic surveillance to detect cases of infectious diseases prior to laboratory-confirmed diagnosis. These AI systems can analyze data from healthcare facilities, laboratories, and online self-reported symptoms to detect potential outbreaks and facilitate timely vaccination, resource allocation and public health messaging to mitigate the spread of disease. Similarly, the spread of vector-borne diseases can be anticipated through the analysis of historical data, weather reports and incidence of disease to identify areas to deploy vector control measures. In the area of mental health, AI algorithms can analyze diverse data sources such as social media posts, emergency hotline calls, emergency department visits, and hospital admissions to identify clusters related to mental health issues including overdoses, suicides, and burnout. The timely detection of such clusters enables prompt intervention, facilitating deployment of targeted mental health support services and community outreach programs to address these issues in a targeted and proactive manner. Identifying trends and characteristics in chronic disease data can guide screening and intervention strategies in real time. Similarly, AI can enhance pharmacovigilance by identifying previously unknown patterns in adverse drug reactions to inform regulatory bodies, healthcare providers and researchers in efforts to provide data-driven, real-time patient safeguards. By harnessing data from air-quality monitors, health records, and meteorology reports, AI systems identify correlations between environmental factors and health issues to empower efforts to address specific environmental health risks. These case-use examples illustrate the potential for AI to serve as a valuable tool to facilitate real-time, data-driven insights to inform proactive clinical and public health intervention strategies. Ongoing challenges in harnessing AI technology for public health surveillance include data privacy, accessing quality data from diverse data sets, and establishing effective communication channels between AI systems and public health authorities. The use of anonymized data to detect clusters and identify the health needs of health regions is a potential strategy to mitigate these challenges. Available resources are limited and must be deployed in a targeted, informed, and timely manner to be most effective. The integration of AI into an expanded all-risks approach to syndromic surveillance represents the next step in identifying and responding to clusters of health-related events in a proactive manner that aligns with community needs while upholding ethical standards and privacy considerations.

This Evidence Check examines international and Australian policies, programs and models of practice for integrated, trauma-informed responses for domestic violence, mental health issues and/or alcohol and other drug use and dependence. The reviewers identified the Integrated Domestic Family Violence Service Program as the most consistently sound and quality program and the only one which aligned with all five of system design principles of NSW Health’s Integrated Prevention and Response to Violence, Abuse and Neglect (IPARVAN) Framework. Overall, the report looked at what has been effective in supporting delivery of such responses, which policies and programs align with the system design principles set out in the IPARVAN Framework, and the key barriers to and enablers of integrated, trauma-informed responses where domestic and family violence, mental health issues and/or alcohol and other drug use may co-exist.

The memoirs of (post-) punk musician Viv Albertine address the issue of choice or lack thereof in romantic and family relationships. They depict a world in which choice of romantic partners appears normal if often unsuccessful, whereas choice within family relationships is restricted. It is self-evident that one cannot choose one’s blood relatives. However, amplified by Albertine’s scepticism towards any social relationships, her two memoirs represent ‘negative choice’ (Eva Illouz) in heterosexual romantic relationships and the complex ways in which negative choice can change family dynamics. In her memoirs, Albertine presents loneliness as the opposite of love which aligns with her model of choice, as it is preferable to live a lonely life over being bound up in love relationships, romantic or familial, which are harmful to one’s wellbeing. This article demonstrates how the ethos of early punk is translated into an uncompromising process of life writing which presents itself as faithfulness towards the individual’s core need for self-realisation and self-expression against the backdrop of failing romantic and familial relationships, severe physical and mental health problems, a self-diagnosis of autism and a patriarchal society.

Abstract:
Doctoral students have higher rates of mental ill health than comparable populations. Contributors include institutional stressors such as competitive fields, uncertain futures and liminal professional identity. This exploratory study drew on social psychology, taking a broad narrative approach, to explore what professional (academic) communities postgraduate researchers (PGRs) identify with, and how these identifications relate to wellbeing. Focus groups were conducted with social science and humanities PGRs in three UK Russell Group universities. PGRs experiences were diverse, but common themes related to ambiguity about their roles as students and researchers; the precariousness of academic careers; commitments to scholarly research; the importance of validation from supervisors and the wider academic community; and the particular challenges when other social roles (e.g. relating to ethnicity or parenthood) align poorly with academic roles. Key conclusions are the importance of validating and supportive research communities that did not necessarily map onto departments or disciplines; meaningful and practically empowering supervisory relationships, which can serve as a buffer against stress and uncertainty; and the relative paucity of ‘postgraduate/doctoral researcher/student’ as a social identity.
