Abstract:
In Scotland, procurators fiscal (state prosecutors) can divert certain offenders from the court process into treatment. This paper describes the first diversion scheme in which offenders who are suspected of having psychological difficulties are referred for psychological and psychiatric treatment before, and generally in lieu of, prosecution. It is argued that the procurator fiscal is successful in selecting suitable cases for treatment: most people referred have significant psychological difficulties but have failed to obtain appropriate assistance through the normal channels of referral.

Abstract:
<p>The Royal Commission on the Law Relating to Mental Illness and Mental Deficiency (the Percy Commission) in its 1957 report put the case for providing “forms of control, within stated limits, over people suffering from mental disorder which do not apply to other people”. Paragraph 314 (i) of the report offers the following justification for compulsory treatment in the interests of the patient’s health: “When an illness or disability itself affects the patient’s judgment and appreciation of his own condition, there is a specially strong argument for saying that his own interests demand that the decision whether or not to accept medical examination, care or treatment should not be left entirely to his own distorted or defective judgment. Admission to hospital against the patient’s wishes at the time may be the only way of providing him with the treatment or training which may restore his health or enable him to take his place as a self-supporting member of the community or to develop his limited capabilities to the greatest possible extent. The better the prospects are of treatment or training being successful, the more important this consideration becomes.” The report goes on to say: “No form of mental disorder should be considered to be, by itself, a sufficient ground for depriving a person of his liberty. It is necessary to balance the possible benefits of treatment or training, the protection of the patient and the protection of other persons, on the one hand, against the patient’s loss of liberty on the other.”</p><p>This rationale, which is reflected in the provisions of the 1983 Act, is rejected in the Report of the Expert Committee on the Review of the Mental Health Act 1983 because it discriminates against the mentally disordered by depriving them of the right to patient autonomy, that is the right of people to make effective treatment choices. Crucially, the right depends upon the patient having capacity to make such choices: “Patient autonomy brings with it an inevitable emphasis on capacity.” (para.2.4) The purpose of this paper is to argue that the Expert Committee’s approach is flawed. First, because it would merely, to use the terminology of discrimination law, replace direct discrimination with indirect discrimination. Second, because in conceptualising the detainable mentally ill patient as lacking capacity to make choices about treatment it erodes the validity of other choices which such a person may make. Third, that it tends to weaken the criteria for compulsion to what is, in effect, a best interests test. Fourth, that the justiciability of questions of capacity is problematic where the incapacity both results from mental illness and is considered in the context of treatment for mental illness.</p>

Abstract:
Thesis (M. A. (Clinical Psychology)) --University of Limpopo, 2018
Studies by the World Health Organisation have shown that mental illness is an international health concern across the globe, with one in four people (25%) suffering from mental disorders in both developed and developing countries. In many African countries traditional health practitioners are the health care providers of choice for individuals, families and communities. The aim of this study was to explore methods used by Shona speaking traditional health practitioners in the prevention of mental illness in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. A qualitative research design was used in the present study. Ten Shona speaking traditional health practitioners (male=9; female=1) were selected through purposive sampling and requested to participate in the study. Data was collected using semi-structured interviews and analysed through thematic content analysis. It was found that traditional healers tend to commonly understand and conceptualise mental illness in terms of the causes instead attaching nosological labels to these conditions. The findings of the study also show that most of the traditional health practitioners interviewed had similar methods of preventing mental illness both in families and individuals. Culture was found to be central in shaping how the traditional health practitioners understand and prevent mental illness. Ancestors were found to be pivotal in specifically determining the methods to prevent mental illness for each client. The study is concluded by recommending closer collaboration between the dominant Western health care system and traditional healing in order to improve mental health care provision in Zimbabwe.

Abstract:
On average 322 million people worldwide are affected by depression. It is one of the leading causes of death in the United States and is often paired with anxiety. Although there are several ways to treat both depression and anxiety, the most popular way is through the use of anti-depressant medication. Typical alternative methods are talk therapy and acupuncture, which brings me to my question: Are anti-depressants truly the most effective way to treat depression or are they ultimately the most cost effective for patients suffering from the mental illness because they are the type of treatment most covered by insurance companies?

Abstract:
中風後抑鬱症（ Post-strok Depression, PSD ）的發生率，在中風後患者中佔有較大比例，嚴重影響患者的康復。國外研究結果顯示中風後抑鬱症的發病率為28%-56%而國內臨床相關文獻提示中風後抑鬱的患病率大致為20% - 50%。臨床中存在有許多繼發於中風的抑鬱患者，診療未受到關注的現狀。而一些接受治療的病人，也因長期口服抗抑鬱藥導致副作用愈發突出。與此同時，針灸治療抑鬱的臨床優勢已經得到國內外醫學界的重視與肯定。本文著重以近10 年來針灸治療中風後抑鬱症的文獻為主進行研究，總結關於該病因病機及有特色針灸療法的最新研究進展，歸納選穴處方的規律特點，進而在已有研究基礎上融人自己的見解，對於PSD 這種身心疾病的治療提出相關值得探討的問題與對今後研究的展望。新近的國內外研究提示，在針灸治療中風後抑鬱領域目前主要有毫針針刺和特種針法，並結合電針、配合藥物以及心理健康教育等方法，可以促進中風後患者抑鬱情緒的調整，且一定程度上也加強其他肢體功能以及神經功能的康復。同時針刺在治療的臨床研究方面也已取得較大進展，部分實驗已設立自身前後對照研究及其他藥物或針刺對照比較觀察，在診斷及評定療效標準時使用了量表及統計分析，增強了療效的可信度及可比性。一些課題也已進入實驗室研究，從神經遞質、神經內分泌方面探求針刺治療PSD 的機制，並取得一定的進展。本研究得出今後應該加強隨機大樣本對照的前瞻性設計實驗的結論，認為中風後抑鬱症的臨床分型、穴位配伍、針刺手法、刺激量大小以及療效評價等方面，均將成為針灸治療本病的繼續研究之探索方向。

Carmany, Johanna. "Dance as Treatment for Orthorexia Nervosa." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2018. http://scholarship.claremont.edu/cmc_theses/1834.

Full text
Abstract:
This project presents dance as treatment for Orthorexia Nervosa, an eating disorder defined as an unhealthy obsession with healthy eating. Eating disorders disconnect body, mind, and spirit of an individual, and dance therapeutically connects these aspects. The specific effects of orthorexia on the body, mind, and spirit are analyzed; supported by evidence from research sources such as literature of books and scholarly journals, videos, an interview with board-certified dance/movement therapist Rachel Gonick-Mefferd, and a series of interviews with Dr. Thomas Doyle, in which he supplied a case study exemplifying dance as treatment for orthorexia. Conclusively, eating disorders and specifically orthorexia affect one’s entire being — physical, mental, emotional, social, spiritual health — and interfere with one’s entire life and daily functioning. Dance, as a holistic therapeutic approach, is effective in addressing and remedying every single one of these elements, healing one’s whole self. Therefore, it is suggested that dance may be an effective treatment for orthorexia.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the central tenets of contemporary bioethics is that mentally competent persons have a right to refuse medical treatment, even if the refusal might lead to the individual’s death. Despite this principle, laws in some jurisdictions authorize the nonconsensual treatment of persons with tuberculosis (TB) or other serious infectious diseases, on the grounds that doing so is necessary to protect the safety of others. This chapter argues that, in the vast majority of situations, overriding a refusal of treatment for infectious disease is not justifiable, as the risk to third parties can be avoided by the less restrictive alternative of isolating the patient. At the same time, it rejects the extreme position that the nonconsensual treatment of infectious disease is never appropriate. Instead, it concludes that compelling an individual to undergo treatment for infectious diseases may be ethically justifiable in exceptional situations if a refusal of treatment poses a grave risk to third parties, the treatment is not overly burdensome and has been established to be safe and effective, and less restrictive alternatives, including humanely isolating the patient, are not feasible under the circumstances. The burden should be on those seeking to compel unwanted treatment to demonstrate that these requirements have been met.

Abstract:
AbstractArticle 19 defines violence broadly to include all forms of harm, encompassing physical, mental and sexual violence as well as non-intentional forms of harm, such as neglect. As such, Article 19 articulates full respect for the human dignity and physical and personal integrity of children as rights-bearing individuals. This requires a paradigm shift of caregiving and protection away from the perception of children primarily as victims. Article 19 sets out a comprehensive prohibition on all forms of violence towards children and enjoins State Parties to take all form all measures available to enforce this right. This article summarizes the four main attributes of Article 19 as follows: (1) All violence towards children is prohibited, frequency or severity of harm need not be demonstrated and violence is defined broadly to encompass all forms of violence towards children, personal, social and institutional, including physical and emotional harm as well as neglect, maltreatment, sexual abuse, and abandonment; (2) the right protects children from harm from their parents and legal guardians as well as when they are in the care of proxy caregivers, including school officials, hospital staff, daycares, sports programs, as well as custodial settings and alternative care arrangements; (3) States are required to give effect to this right through all appropriate measures: legislative, administrative, social and educational; and finally the call for comprehensive measures to eradicate violence against children is reinforced by the final attribute (4) this attribute insists that the range of interventions required to give effect to Article 19 rights includes measures to ensure effective identification, reporting, investigation, and treatment of all forms of harm to children.

Abstract:
Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is the collective term used for treatments or therapies that have not typically been part of Western medicine. The “complementary” part of this term means that the treatment may be used along with more conventional medicine, while the “alternative” component of the term implies that it may be used in place of traditional medi­cine. Most people in the United States choose not to forgo Western medicine and instead combine CAM and conventional medicine, preferring the term “integrative medicine” over “complementary and alternative medicine.” CAM purports to focus on the whole person, including the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual components of health. A wide variety of treatments can fit under the umbrella of CAM treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD). In this chapter, we will discuss many of these treatments and the evidence base for them. According to studies, 50% to 75% of children with ASD are treated with CAM therapies. Even higher percentages of children with more severe ASD or intellectual disability are treated with CAM. Parents are also more likely to use CAM treatments if the child has seizures, gastrointestinal symptoms, or a behavioral disorder. Parents believe that these therapies are more accessible and less invasive. Most parents are more comfortable when they hear that a treatment falls under the CAM category because they believe it is more “natural” or safer (1,2). CAM therapies have varying degrees of efficacy and safety data. These different CAM therapies fall under the larger categories of nutrition/dietary interventions, immunomodulation, biochemical and metabolic therapies, detoxification, manipulative and body-based practices, music therapy, sensory integration therapy, hippotherapy (horseback riding), dolphin swim therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and so forth. It is beyond the scope of this book to discuss each therapy in extensive detail, but I will give an introduction to each type of CAM treatment and then discuss the more important and controversial treatments (2).

Abstract:
Adoption and implementation of telecommunication services which allow psychiatric services to be delivered have increased availability of care to patients in remote areas. Past studies have suggested that telepsychiatry services are comparable to traditional face-to-face services; and patients typically considered telepsychiatry an acceptable alternative. The purpose of this research was to examine and describe the efficacy of psychiatric care delivered via telemedicine (telepsychiatry) to determine whether telepsychiatry could improve outcomes for patients. Seven electronic databases were utilized with a total of 22 articles that were referenced as a basis for this literature review. The findings suggest telepsychiatry is an effective alternative compared to traditional methods. Future research should include controlled experiments that compare telepsychiatry to face-to-face psychiatry and incorporate newer technologies into the research.

Abstract:
Primary care physicians may offer a comprehensive care of patients having psychiatric ailments. Psychological interventions are effective in treating major depressive disorder, anxiety disorders, somatic symptom disorders, and tobacco use disorders in primary care settings. Psychotherapeutic approaches are effective either as an alternative or as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy, with enduring benefits after discontinuation of drug treatment. Psychotherapy also represents a pilot area of intervention to treat withdrawal symptoms and disorders due to the tapering or discontinuation of psychotropic medications, in particular selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs). This chapter illustrates the basic steps to establish routine evidence-based psychotherapy for unipolar depression, anxiety disorders, somatic symptom disorder, and substance use disorders in primary care settings. Some factors should be considered to formulate a proper treatment plan for mental disorders in primary care, including primary care physicians’ clinical judgment, availability of treatment, and patient’s preference.

Abstract:
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is multi-organ syndrome that affects 6–25% of females during reproductive age. It disrupts normal hormone levels of females and affects adrenal hormone and sex hormones along with pituitary hormones including adrenocorticotropic, growth hormone and gonadotropins hormones. It results in several secondary characteristics in females such as infertility, hormonal imbalance, oligomenorrhea, amenorrhea, obesity and hirsutism. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is associated with mental and reproductive disorder and almost 4–18% mature female students are affected by polycystic ovarian syndrome. Female affected by polycystic ovarian syndrome have increased risk of infertility, ovarian cancer, skin problems and psychological problems such as anxiety, depression and changes in sleep along with mood swings. This chapter discusses the Prevalence, Symptomatology and Management of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome. For the management of PCOS, the role of some medicinal plants including Asparagus racemosus, Tinospora cordifolia, Foeniculum vulgare, Ocimum tenuiflorum, Actaea racemosa, and Lepidium meyenii have also been discussed in addition to other treatment modalities. The literature data was searched out and compiled using relevant original research articles and reviews published and indexed in Google Scholar, Scientific Information Database, Elsevier, PubMed and Science Direct.

Abstract:
Substantial number of studies has been conducted to find alternatives or treatments for psychosis. Psychosis represents a variety of mental disorders characterized by the presence of delusions, hallucinations and grossly disorganized thinking in a clear sensorium. Psychosis is burdensome and difficult to treat given the inability of the typical and atypical antipsychotics to adequately manage it, accompanied by numerous disturbing adverse effects. Therefore, many with chronic mental health problems justifiably feel disappointed by the apparent ineffectiveness of conventional treatment and naturally search for a more holistic approach to treatment and alternative medicines having less or no side-effects. Plants are rich in secondary metabolites which have the ability to interact with the Central nervous system (CNS) to produce effects that can be beneficial for the management of psychosis, these phytochemicals are believed to have minimal adverse effects. A review of some of the medicinal plants used as antipsychotics, indicated that many medicinal plants possess antipsychotic effects that can improve the treatment of psychosis. Apparently, further studies are necessary in order to isolate the active constituents, ascertain their molecular mechanisms and safety, and also to test them in clinical studies for the development of new pharmacotherapies for psychosis.

Abstract:
Mindfulness as a term comes from Buddhist traditions, translating as awareness, concentration or remembrance. Western neuroscientists define mindfulness practices as a combination of emotional and attentional training regimes that help cultivate physical and psychological well-being and improve emotional regulation while noting neurobiological changes in the brain. The formal introduction of oriental ways of thinking into western philosophy, psychology and medicine happened decades ago, generating a large spectrum of discussions and scientific works concerning the therapeutic applications of mindfulness practice. Basing our presentation on a thorough study of scientific papers, we propose a synthesis of the theoretical aspects related to mindfulness and a new perspective regarding its applications in clinical psychiatric care. The modern occidental approaches of the practice are adapted into methods used in cognitive therapy based on mindfulness. The benefits of formal practice proven from the neurological perspective are the result of a less reactive autonomic nervous system. Regulation of attention, body awareness, regulation of emotions, increased capacity of adaptation is just a few of the mechanisms involved. Therefore, it is integrated into western psychotherapy as an adjunctive or alternative method of treatment for several psychiatric disorders among which are depression, anxiety, substance use, smoking cessation, insomnia. In conclusion, mindfulness has shown to have great promise in clinical application, and the hope is to be used in the future with the purpose of improving mental and physical wellbeing and quality of life.

Abstract:
Chronic pain is presently the most expensive disease condition in the United States; with roughly 1 in 5 Americans currently reporting chronic pain. Traditionally, clinicians and patients have utilized prescription medications to manage chronic pain, however, attitudes towards standardized prescription treatment have waned due to a number of factors including the recent opioid epidemic. Consequently, attitudes towards marijuana use as an alternative pain therapy have continued to grow with 36 states approving use for medical purposes. Clinical trials have reported lower pain severity scores among participants receiving marijuana for pain compared to participants in the control arms. However, little is known regarding the psychological/physiological mechanisms by which marijuana provides relief for chronic pain. Research is also needed to identify how current marijuana users developed optimal patterns (i.e. dose, frequency, and quantity) of use for chronic pain. We sought to address these scientific gaps by conducting semi-structured interviews among community members. Participants (N=13) were eligible for participation if they reported having any pain during the previous 3 months and if they reported past 30-day marijuana use. The interviews lasted approximately 60 minutes following a semi-structured interview guide over Zoom telecommunications. Each interview was subsequently transcribed and then analyzed using Atlas T.I. A summary of each code was developed and key themes regarding marijuana use and pain were summarized. Multiple themes emerged including mechanism of pain relief (physical, mental, or both), patterns of marijuana use for pain relief, other benefits of marijuana use, comparisons to prescription drug use, descriptions of pain, and side effects of marijuana use. Our analysis identified several themes that add to the growing literature concerning marijuana use for chronic pain. These qualitative data indicate current marijuana users’ favorable opinions towards using marijuana as an alternative pain therapy. As legislation legalizing marijuana use for medicinal purposes continues to expand, qualitative studies are needed to examine the extent to which marijuana use is effective in managing pain.

Abstract:
Stroke basically consists in brain-cells death due to lack or excess of blood. Stroke has many important consequences and falls are one of the most concerning. Falls can produce several injures from minor lacerations to fractures and death. It has been found that balance and gait impairments after stroke are important risk factors for fall. Hence, improving balance and gait ability in stroke survivors can significantly reduce falls rate. In this literature review, we review the main characteristic and the therapeutic results of different therapeutic interventions aimed at improving balance and walking ability. The main therapeutic interventions included are the Bobath therapy, exercise-based interventions, orthotic and assistive devices, modality treatments, alternative therapies, robotic-assisted training, and computational-based interventions. The parameters considered as evidence of balance and/or gait recovery after a specific intervention are: walking speed (WS), cadence, endurance, stride/step length, weight/walking symmetry, and sway. Our main findings are: 1) The wide use of the Bobath concept is not well supported by evidence due to its performance has been found to be inferior to some exercises-based interventions such as walking training; 2) exercises-based interventions were classified as strength and task-specific training. The former improves muscular and bone health, aerobic capability, and prepares the patient to perform a more demanding activity. The latter is designed as a repetitive training of a functional activity, mainly walking, and sit to stand exercises, which improve both gait and balance. Orthotic and assistive devices have effects on balance and gait but only while they are worn or used; 3) robotic assisted walking-training presented similar results to overground or treadmill walking training in terms of walking speed and balance recovery. However, the most important advantage lies on the reduction of burden for therapists; 4) thee most important use of motion analysis is as a tool for identify the causes deficits in a patient and the to design a therapy in accordance; 5) motion synthesis can be used as a tool to answer very specific questions related to capabilities/limitations of a patient. For instance, “what would be the effect of increasing hip-torque capability of a stroke survivor on the walking-symmetry?” The answer to this question would either help to design an exercise/intervention or to discard such intervention due to low impact; 6) some treatments are added to a main therapy to increase its effect on a given parameter. Functional electrical stimulation, which is added to cycling training to improve motion patterns. Biofeedback is used during balance training to reduce weight-asymmetry. And virtual reality and video games are used to increase motivation and permanence of patient on a therapy; 7) we found some alternative or no widely used therapies. Among the most promising we can mention Tai-Chi exercises, which integrates physical and mental activities to improve balance and gait and rhythmic auditory stimulation that improves WS and weight-symmetry; and 8) orthotics devices help to reduce falls by extending the base of support but the effect appears only while they are worn. In general, there is not an ultimate therapy able to fit to every patient. The choice should depend on patient’s goals and conditions. Moreover, falls can not be eliminated but they can be substantially reduced by improving balance and gait.
