Abstract:
The major novelists of the Victorian era enjoyed a large readership amongst the general public. They dealt with the pressing social issues of the day and their work both reflected and shaped society's attitudes to contemporary problems. The 19th century saw fundamental changes in society's response to the mentally ill with the creation of purpose-built asylums throughout the country. The Victorians were ambivalent in their reaction to the mentally disturbed. Whilst they sought to segregate the insane from the rest of the population, they were also terrified by the prospect of the wrongful confinement of sane people. The trial of Daniel McNaughton in 1843 for the assassination of Sir Robert Peel's Private Secretary, and the subsequent legislation, provoked general public debate about the nature of madness.

Abstract:
One hundred and fifty years on, how, Professor Clare asked an invited audience of eminent non-psychiatrists at the Royal Society of Medicine, do we fare? Is there really a more positive attitude to mental illness, now than in the nineteenth century, or even the 1960s? The Victorian public image of madness was characterised by ignorance, intolerance and fear and the mentally ill regarded as less than human, available to be exploited or used to entertain; and also, dangerous and incurable, best put away in large mental hospitals or ‘bins’. The media colluded in maintaining such attitudes: a leader in The Times in 1900, commenting on the 30-fold increase in the mental hospital population, was anxious that soon the mad might outnumber the sane!

Abstract:
BackgroundThe baseline findings from a controlled study of the effect of a public education campaign on community attitudes to mental illness are presented.MethodA census of attitudes to mental illness was conducted in two areas, prior to the opening of supported houses for the mentally ill Factor analysis of the Community Attitudes toward the Mentally III (CAMI) inventory revealed three components: Fear and Exclusion, Social Control and Goodwill.ResultsThe only determinant of Fear and Exclusion was having children. The main determinants of Social Control were social class, ethnic origin, age, having suffered mental illness and having children. The main determinant of Goodwill was educational level The attitude factors were predictive of respondents' behavioural intentions toward the mentally ill. Respondents with children and non-Caucasians were more likely to object to the mentally ill living in their neighbourhood.ConclusionsAny intervention aimed at changing attitudes to mentally ill people in the community should be targeted at people with children and non-Caucasians, as these groups are more likely to object.

Abstract:
This study aimed to examine the dual mediating effects of knowledge of and prejudice against the mentally ill in relation to the effects of work experience of the police with the mentally ill on the police’s attitudes towards them. 309 police officers participated in the survey and the results are as follows. First, the police officers’ work experience, knowledge, prejudice, and attitudes regarding the mentally ill showed significant differences based on the demographic characteristics of the police officers. Second, unlike previous studies, it was found that with more work experience with the mentally ill, the lower the knowledge of the mentally ill and the greater the prejudice against them. Although greater knowledge of the mentally ill led to lower prejudice against them, the greater the knowledge, the more negative the attitude. Third, although the work experience with the mentally ill did not directly affect the police officers’ attitudes towards them, there was a sequential dual mediating effect on their attitudes towards the mentally ill through the mediating effects of knowledge and prejudice. Based on the results, reinforcement of mental illness education for police was suggested.

Abstract:
BACKGROUND: Few studies have examined the attitudes of pharmacists toward mental illness. OBJECTIVE: To study the attitudes of Alabama pharmacists toward both mental illness and the providing of pharmaceutical care to mentally ill patients. METHODS: The survey used in this project was composed of 3 sections. Section 1 collected demographic information, section 2 asked 11 Likert-type questions concerning attitudes toward mental illness, and section 3 asked about attitudes toward providing pharmaceutical care to mentally ill patients. The surveys were distributed to pharmacists attending 3 school-sponsored continuing education programs. RESULTS: One hundred eighty-seven pharmacists participated in the survey. The vast majority (>90%) of participants disagreed or strongly disagreed with statements that mentally ill patients are easily recognizable, unintelligent, and do not care how they look. Approximately 30–50% of participants expressed being “more” or “much more” confident, comfortable, interested, and likely to perform pharmaceutical care activities for mentally ill patients relative to medically ill patients, while only approximately 5–20% of participants expressed being “less” or “much less” so. Several demographic factors, including gender, age, and years in practice, were associated with attitudes toward providing pharmaceutical care to mentally ill patients. CONCLUSIONS: Pharmacists expressed generally positive attitudes toward both mental illness and the providing of pharmaceutical care to mentally ill patients.

AbstractObjective: This survey attempts to ascertain the attitude of the general public towards the mentally ill and former psychiatric patients in Ireland. Method: A random selection of 155 adults were interviewed using Likert-type scales (29 items). Results: Factor analysis revealed four main attitude dimensions: fear, lack of sympathy, personal rejection and perceived community rejection. Overall, respondents express a low level of fear and a high level of sympathy towards the mentally ill. Lack of sympathy correlated highly with older age group, lower educational level and lower socio-economic class of respondent. Respondents with higher self-reported knowledge about mental illness were less fearful and more sympathetic towards the mentally ill. Conclusions: The findings are encouraging to the development of community psychiatric services and support the usefulness of public education in the area of mental health.

Abstract:
IntroductionIt is a common view that mental illnesses are widely associated with dangerous, threat-posing behavior and law-breaking.AimsThe paper analyzes the problem of law-breaking by the mentally disordered.MethodsThe analysis of cases concerning compulsory psychiatric treatment or confinement in a medical institution on the grounds of mental incompetence to commit an offence or mental unfitness to stand the trial obtained from the court and the public prosecutor’s office in Silesia Region from 2007 to 2009.Results14 cases were analyzed. All the offenders were male, mean age was 44,6. All the offenders were diagnosed by psychiatrists, most of them with schizophrenia (n = 10 cases). Other diagnoses included paranoid personality disorder (n = 1), bipolar affective disorder with manic episode (n = 1), schizoaffective disorder (n = 1), delusional disorder (n = 1). 9 out of 14 offenders were diagnosed prior to the offence, some of whom were also hospitalized (n = 5). 8 of analyzed cases concerned use of violence, 3 concerned larceny, 2 concerned posing a threat to others’ life or health and 1 concerned fraud. 2 of the offenders were previously sentenced for other offences. 12 of the offenders were compulsory treated by psychiatrists, 10 out of whom is still hospitalized.ConclusionsThe small number of the cases analyzed (14 cases in the whole of 5000) suggests that mentally disordered persons do not break law often. There seems to be a higher risk associated with male gender, though. Also, the frequency of violent acts and offences committed despite previous treatment is disturbing.

Abstract:
Patients often ask psychiatrists for advice on how to answer questions about their health, when seeking employment. They fear not being employed if they declare that they have suffered from a mental illness. The attitudes of personnel directors of 200 randomly chosen public limited companies were measured. This confirmed significant reluctance, stigma and ignorance about employing and believing the mentally ill. Employers decided whether to employ someone by considering the fob description, the standard of previous work, whether the applicant was receiving treatment, previous time off sick, and the particular illness suffered. Those with depression were more likely to be employed than those with schizophrenia or alcoholism. The largest companies were significantly more likely to employ patients and were less likely to seek dismissal than the smallest. Employers would welcome more information about mental ill health. Potential employees should approach large firms and seek treatment.

Abstract:
The purpose of this qualitative research study was to explore the feelings, opinions and attitudes of mentally ill people living in frontier states about telemental health service to access their mental health care. The current study explores the feelings of people diagnosed with a variety of mental illnesses. Participants in this study were chosen in a purposive criterion sample, and snowball sampling. This study included nine participants aged from 36 years of age to 68 years of age, diagnosed with a mental illness including, Paranoid Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, Major Depressive Disorder, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. This study was limited by the numbers of willing participants with a mental illness living within the frontier areas of the state the study was conducted in. This limitation is overcome by utilizing the snowball effect for recruitment of willing participants. Eight of the nine participants of this study were willing to use telemental health for their mental health care. Others commented that they were acceptant and willing to utilize telemental health services for their mental health care needs after a period of time to build rapport with their provider. The major themes developed from the participant interviews were; savings, convenience, privacy and anonymity, rapport, crisis intervention and technology. The participants voiced an opinion that the general savings of time, money, travel and hours of work saved was a part of their acceptance of telemental health. The themes of acceptance can be developed in to methods to improve future models of telemental health. By understanding what would make this treatment modality more acceptable future providers can tailor a telemental health program that is fully acceptable to the clients who will utilize it.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT: This quantitative study investigated the attitudes toward the mentally ill in professionals working in Ndera neuropsychiatric hospital. The research questions explored were centered on the attitudes of directly involved and supportive professionals toward mentally ill clients and also on the difference between the attitudes of directly involved and supportive professionals toward mentally ill clients and demographic variables. The purpose of this study was to determine whether there are differences in attitude between direct care providers and supportive professionals toward the mentally ill clients. The Community Attitudes towards Mentally Ill (CAMI) scale (Dear & Taylor, 1982; Taylor, Dear & Hall, 1979; Taylor & Dear, 1981) was used. A total of 72 members of the staff, including 55 directly involved staff and 17 supportive staff members, participated in the survey. A summary interpretation of the main findings in this thesis reinforces the assumption that negative attitudes towards people with mental illness received in Ndera neuropsychiatric hospital are in existence, even though the majority have favorable attitudes towards the mentally ill. This suggests that persons with mental illness may encounter stigmatizing attitudes from mental health professionals. This study represents one of the first to explore professionals’ attitudes towards the mentally ill. It is hoped that this work will highlight the need to explore the influence of attitudes in the delivery of high quality healthcare. The provider–patient relationship is at the heart of effective treatment and the detrimental impact of prejudicial judgments on this relationship should not be ignored. This study also demonstrates that professionals with different roles report different attitudes and this suggest that they would behave differently towards patients with mental illness. The directly involved professionals have been found to have more positive attitudes than the supportive professional and this seems to show that as individuals improve their ability to interact with persons with mental illness, they become more tolerant. The present study demonstrates that the sociodemographic variables tested have no impact on the attitudes of the professionals working in Ndera neuropsychiatric hospital. The extent of mental health training (as part of general health training) and duration of experience of working in mental health settings did not influence attitudes. Finally, this study demonstrates that there is no correlation between the attitudes towards mentally ill patients and their inclusion in the process of decision-making.

Abstract:
Magister Curationis - MCur
Professional nurses, with additional training in mental health, report attitudes and perceptions of mental health nursing that are more positive, whilst those with less training report more negative attitudes and perceptions to mental health nursing. The primary aim of this research study was to describe the attitudes and perceptions of professional nurses towards the mentally ill in a psychiatric hospital in the Cape Metropole. The objectives of the study were: to explore the attitudes and perceptions of professional nurses towards the mentally ill; to identify common factors that influence the professional nurses’ attitudes and perceptions towards the mentally ill; to compare the attitudes and perceptions of professional nurses who have completed the Regulation 425, Regulation 808 and Regulation 212 training in mental health nursing towards the mentally ill. A quantitative, exploratory, descriptive design was employed and cross-sectional survey was carried out. Participants comprised all permanent professional nurses (n=60) at a governmental Associated Psychiatric Hospital in the Cape Metropole. Participants completed a demographic questionnaire and two self-report questionnaires, measuring attitudes to and perceptions of mental health problems. Nurses with a diploma report significantly higher role competency than those nurses with a degree. The ethnicity of nurses played a role in the stereotyping of the mentally ill. No significant differences were evident between those professional nurses who had completed the advanced mental health course and those whom had not. However, the combined effects of learning the appropriate course and experience in the practical field of the mentally ill are necessary for the task of impacting positively on the attitudes of the nurses towards the mentally ill.

Abstract:
‘The move into the community’ considers deinstitutionalization. Nearly every large mental hospital in the UK and most in the US and Western Europe have closed. The emptying of the institutions was partly due to the discovery of antipsychotic and antidepressant drugs, but changes in social attitudes towards the mentally ill, radical rethinking within psychiatry, and financial considerations were also influential. The first twenty years of community care were relatively successful. However, closures often ran ahead of provision of adequate alternative services. Stigma, an exaggerated sense of risk from the mentally ill, family break-up, high social mobility, and increasing levels of drug and alcohol use have made community care of the mentally ill more difficult.

Abstract:
First, the views on suicide as found in the Old and New Testament are presented. In the early Christian period, suicide does not seem to be prohibited. St Augustine (350–430 AD), however, considered it a sin, violating the fifth commandment, ‘Thou shall not kill’. Later, synods of the church gave strong regulation as to how the suicidee should be buried. The same negative attitudes were expressed throughout most of the Middle Ages across Europe. The European Enlightenment movement brought about moderated views on suicide, challenging former Christian condemnations. From about 1800, psychiatry was established, stating that most people who committed suicide were mentally ill. Contemporary official Christian attitudes are presented with special reference to the Roman, Greek, and Russian Orthodox Church, as well as the Protestant Church. The viewpoints on euthanasia are presented briefly. Finally, we discuss how Christian traditions influence suicide prevention today.

Abstract:
The Japanese demographic changed rapidly after 1945. There was rapid ageing, a sharp decline in three-generation households, and a rise in solo households. Still, the Japanese family-based collective culture continues to shape individuals’ overall beliefs and attitudes within society. The demographic shift has become a significant constraint on the Japanese social care system, manifesting as ro-ro kaigo (the old caring for the older), kaigo-rishoku (leaving employment to become a carer), and ‘8050’ (parents in their eighties caring for socially withdrawn children in their fifties). The national tendency towards social detachment makes such problems difficult to address. Today, Japan is finding a way to overcome these social challenges and establish an inclusive society by re-connecting people, including the mentally ill, within communities by tapping into the culturally inherited collective mentality of its people.

Abstract:
This chapter follows one person’s journey into psychiatry and a clinical career as a child and adolescent forensic psychiatrist. It covers the importance of taking a developmental understanding of clinical dilemmas set in social context and the often paradoxical attitudes of society throughout history towards those who are mentally ill and whose behaviour they fear, whether via harm to self or to others. It also considers how research can inform and improve practice and how serendipity can take a career along interesting routes of working with and shaping the decisions of policy-makers to improve mental health of populations and individuals. It describes how skills in mental health can improve practice across the whole of medicine and the importance of using emotional intelligence to enable clinical teams to deliver best care with true shared decision-making with patients and their families.

Abstract:
In this chapter, a curriculum for school social educators will be presented and discussed. It aims to provide them with basic competences to combat cyberbullying and conduct internet safety programs in schools. In the previous chapters, multifarious aspects related to cyberbullying have been highlighted. Literature is rich in analysis and experiments that, nowadays, are being conducted everywhere, not only in Western countries. Cyberbullying is a global phenomenon, although there are differences depending on cultural attitudes (e.g., gender aspects and other factors related to the perception and evaluation of online harassment). Cyberbullying is closely connected to technology. Among human beings, harassing, harming, and defaming others is not a recent habit, but technology has exploded the scale of the harassment, harming, and defamation with hugely disruptive consequences. To combat the effect of the malicious use of technology, professional experts are necessary that should also be educators, since they should work inside the school. Cyber safety competences should be included in the curriculum of social educators in the same way as are competences to sustain children with behavioral disturbance, support mentally ill persons, assist elderly persons, rehabilitate drug and alcohol addicts, integrate migrants, and so on. From the experience of running a training course for social workers in Poland on cyber threats, and from comparison with other teaching-learning practices on cyberbullying prevention, a portfolio of competence has been defined.

Abstract:
"Police officers are some of the first professionals that might have direct interaction with individuals with mental illnesses. Statistics show that from 2017 to 2020 about 3986 individuals in the United States were fatally shot by police officers (Statista, 2021). These reports indicate that at least 25% and as many as 50% of all fatal shootings involved individuals with untreated severe mental illness. The purpose of this pilot study was to test the effectiveness of a five-day psycho-educational mental health awareness training in enhancing law enforcement officers’ knowledge about mental illness, and their perceptions towards mentally ill individuals using a pretest-posttest design. The Community Attitudes Towards the Mentally Ill (CAMI) scale was used to measure participants’four mental health attitudinal domains - authoritarianism, benevolence, social restrictiveness, and community mental health ideology. The results indicate that at the completion of the training there was an increase in participants’ confidence about their knowledge of the mentally ill individuals and mental illness conditions. However, the results also indicate a slight decrease in participants' mental illness social restrictiveness sentiment after the completion of the training. Additionally, the results also show a correlation between demographic variables and some of the domains. Implications for practice are discussed."
