Full textAbstract:
In The Movement for Global Mental Health: Critical Views from South and Southeast Asia, prominent anthropologists, public health physicians, and psychiatrists respond sympathetically but critically to the Movement for Global Mental Health (MGMH). They question some of its fundamental assumptions: the idea that "mental disorders" can clearly be identified; that they are primarily of biological origin; that the world is currently facing an "epidemic" of them; that the most appropriate treatments for them normally involve psycho-pharmaceutical drugs; and that local or indigenous therapies are of little interest or importance for treating them. The contributors argue that, on the contrary, defining "mental disorders" is difficult and culturally variable; that social and biographical factors are often important causes of them; that the "epidemic" of mental disorders may be an effect of new ways of measuring them; and that the countries of South and Southeast Asia have abundant, though non-psychiatric, resources for dealing with them. In short, they advocate a thoroughgoing mental health pluralism.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter summarizes previous chapters in this book and provides suggestions for future directions of gender-oriented psycho-oncology research.First three chapters provide comprehensive overview and theories on the role of gender in the individual’s and in the patient-caregiver pair’s adjustment when dealing with cancer. Next four chapters illustrate how one’s gender plays a role in the adjustment processes of a patient versus a family caregiver whose gender is the same or opposite of one’s own, which are followed by additional three chapters that take consideration of age, generation, and sociocultural influence on the role of gender. Last two chapters present psychosocial interventions and programs that are focused on gender and cancer. Given the inherently complex biopsychosocial nature of gender, we strongly encourage future studies that are theory-driven and hypothesis-testing, which will help distinguishing the gender issue from that of patient-caregiver roles, lifespan/developmental phases, treatment phases, or culture and social movement.

Full textAbstract:
Epidemiological studies of depression give important insights into populations at higher risk of depression, but not everyone in certain high-risk circumstances will develop a clinical depression. ‘Models of depression’ highlights some of the most well-known biological, psychological, and social models ranging from the monoamine hypothesis to Beck’s cognitive model, and then discusses attempts to integrate these into a multi-dimensional psycho-bio-social theory. It highlights the interaction between stress and vulnerability factors, and the importance of considering the origins of the vulnerabilities. In reality, there is no one cause and no single pathway to depression and multiple factors increase vulnerability to depression.

Full textAbstract:
As cancer treatment has evolved toward precision medicine, psychosocial research and practices for cancer patients and their family members have also raised awareness of the need for a personalized, patient-focused, family-oriented approach in the psycho-oncology field. Gender in Psycho-Oncology is the first book of its kind to provide comprehensive views on the role of gender in the adjustment of the individual and the patient–caregiver pair when dealing with cancer. The text explores the significant role of gender in diverse pairings of genders between the patient and the caregiver. It also highlights the importance of age, generation, and sociocultural characteristics, as well as the illness trajectory and lifespan trajectory of the individual and the patient–caregiver pair, and an ongoing sociocultural movement that is changing social role expectations based on gender. Offering both fundamental and practical information, Gender in Psycho-Oncology is an ideal book for health care practitioners from a spectrum of disciplines in the psycho-oncology field.

Full textAbstract:
Gynaecologists and obstetricians are confronted with many tasks that require biopsychosocial competence, as explained in Chapter 2. Care for patients with unexplained physical symptoms, and patients with chronic incurable diseases, in various phases of their lives, require patient education, health promotion, counselling, and management of psychosocial problems. To obtain this competency, a curriculum is needed, which, besides gynaecology and obstetrics, includes elements of psychology, psycho-social medicine, and psychiatry, adapted to the specific needs of gynaecologists and obstetricians in their everyday work. A basic part of Chapter 2 shows the curriculum consists of teaching the knowledge, and skills derived from communication theory and practice including physician, and patient-centred communication with active listening, responding to emotions and information exchange as well as breaking bad news, risk-counselling, and shared decision-making. Building on these skills, trainees are introduced into the biopsychosocial process of diagnosis, establishing a 9-field comprehensive work-up using the ABCDEFG guideline (Affect, Behaviour, Conflict, Distress, Early life Experiences, False beliefs, Generalised frustration). The therapeutic interventions are based on a working alliance between the physician and the patient, and are taught as basic elements, which have to be combined according to the individual patient and the presenting situation. The overall technique for gynaecologists and obstetricians can be summarised as supportive counselling/psychotherapy. This includes elements such as catharsis, clarifying conflicts and conflict resolution, cognitive reframing, insight and understanding, stress reduction techniques, and helping in behavioural change (CCRISH).

Full textAbstract:
This book, from the International Psycho-oncology Society, is the second in a series of Companion Guides for Clinicians. The series editors identified a need for a guide to focus on the impact of cancer and oncology treatments on sexual health, fertility, and relationships. This brief manual takes a psycho-oncology perspective, placing the emotional, behavioral, and social elements at the center of the topics covered in the chapters. The aim is to describe approaches and treatments that cancer clinicians, mental health professionals, psycho-oncologists in training, and allied psychosocial oncology professionals can use. It emphasizes the importance of multidisciplinary care. The guide is not intended to replace national clinical guidelines and policies but gives a more generic international overview of factors that need to be considered when dealing with these issues in cancer patients along the treatment trajectory. Topics include management of sexual health, onco-fertility care, and relationship issues. The manual covers standards of good practice across all cancer patients, as well as focusing on the needs of individuals, couples, young people, and LGBT+ groups in a pragmatic format for use in everyday practice. Assessment methods are covered, alongside psychological treatments, encompassing a range of patient ages and cancer types. Policies and service, legal, ethical, confidentiality, and communication issues are covered. This manual can be used for quick reference. This will suit oncology professionals who decide to look further into a topic on a case-by-case or problem-focused basis as they undertake clinical work.

Full textAbstract:
How can theories of hegemony advance our understanding of populism? Against the background of Gramsci’s work, this chapter draws on Laclau, Mouffe, and other theoretical resources in order to illuminate what shapes and animates populist discourse, what overdetermines its hegemonic potential. We focus on populist articulatory practices as political interventions operating within a broader socio-symbolic as well as psycho-social terrain that both facilitates their formation and—at the same time—limits their scope. The chapter highlights thus the need to take into account the broader terrain of populism/anti-populism antagonisms in order to effectively identify and inquire into the political performance and hegemonic effects of populist movements. Finally, a series of empirical examples are used to illustrate the argument.

Pidcock, Frank S. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome. Oxford University Press, 2017. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/med/9780199937837.003.0121.
Full textAbstract:
Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS) is a chronic disorder that affects adults and children. It is extremely challenging to manage and results in dysfunctional patterns of behavior that have long-reaching effects on the patient and their families. New insights into the neurobiology of this condition have improved the understanding of mechanisms that alter nocioceptive perception and remodel neural circuitry in the brain and spinal cord. Traditional interventions for treating pain have little if any long-term effects. An interdisciplinary program addressing “bio-psycho-social factors” that includes graded exercise, desensitization techniques, and coping strategies has shown some success as a therapeutic approach. The reason for why certain individuals are susceptible to this condition and others are not remains elusive.

Full textAbstract:
This survey of research on psychology in five volumes is a part of a series undertaken by the ICSSR since 1969, which covers various disciplines under social science. Volume Four of this survey, Themes in Contemporary Mental Health Research, deals with mental health, which constitutes one of the fascinating and important areas of psychological applications. With the rise in incidence and complexity of health-related challenges in the contemporary period, there is a growing need to understand the pattern of disorders and ways to improve health and well-being of the people. Psychological research in this area has moved beyond a medical model and has embraced a bio-psycho-social perspective on health, which suggests that the biological mechanisms alone are insufficient to maintain or promote health. Additionally, there is growing evidence that psychological knowledge can contribute substantially to health promotion. The emerging subfield of health psychology encompasses the strategies for health promotion and making preventive health measures more effective. Against this backdrop, the contributors focus on a set of psychological disorders, their treatment, and a critical analysis of the development of the field of health psychology. The six chapters of this volume look at the most recent perspectives in the fields of mental health and psychotherapy in India. They offer up-to-date assessment of the status of practice, training, and research in psychotherapy as well as examine the shift to critical and interpretive approaches in the disciplines of health and community psychology. Additionally, it evaluates some concepts of preventive mental health as applicable to children in India.

Full textAbstract:
The interplay between mind and body is a rapidly developing area of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, growing in prominence as many areas of medicine recognise the importance of understanding the physical, mental, and social aspects of complex conditions. Clinical Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology: A Patient-centred Biopsychosocial Practice is the fundamental work facilitating the management of women's disease conditions resulting from psychosomatic or mind-body interactions that are routinely encountered by clinicians. Authored by a world-renowned group of contributors who have led a transformative approach to the way services to women are approached, Clinical Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology comprehensively addresses the biological, psychological, social, and cultural factors leading to disease manifestations. Including methods for prevention, detection and treatment, the text is supported by > 30 clinical vignettes taken from real-life situations to support learning and guide clinical practice. Detailed chapters clarify the scientific basis of the clinical psychosomatic concept, prevention of morbidity and mortality from cancer or obesity, pregnancy, and childbirth, migraine and delivery, subfertility, premenstrual disorders, vulval pain, psycho-oncology, sexual health, and psychosomatic implications of migration and cultural issues, this title is a highly topical and much-needed guide to addressing clinical conditions that compromise women's health as well as their mental and social well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Clinicians who care for adult cancer patients have many tools to manage symptoms of depression, anxiety, cognitive changes, insomnia, and fatigue. Non-prescribing clinicians, such as psychologists, nurses, social workers, and occupational and physical therapists, provide frontline psychosocial interventions and physical support for cancer patients. Psychotropic treatments are sometimes required to resolve complex syndromes that mingle both medical and psychiatric features. Psychiatric medications are most frequently prescribed to cancer patients by oncologists, general medical practitioners, general psychiatrists, and psychiatric advanced practice providers such as nurse practitioners and physician assistants, as few oncology practices have dedicated psycho-oncologists. Non-prescribing practitioners who care for people with cancer are often the first to identify a psychiatric syndrome that requires a referral for psychopharmacologic intervention. They can also play an important role in educating patients about how psychopharmacologic agents can augment their cancer care. After psychotropic medications are started, non-prescribers can observe for improvement and detect problematic side effects if they arise, thus improving adherence with medication regimens. Practitioners who read this book will benefit from the highlighted clinical pearls to follow, and the potholes to avoid, regarding the tricky diagnostics and pharmacologic treatment of psychiatric syndromes. All clinicians will learn communication strategies that bridge distances of professional specialty and geography so that treatment by multiple providers may be more seamless, which it is hoped will enrich outcomes, both medical and emotional.
