Abstract

The mental health discourse in India has been primarily viewed through a biomedical lens that often overlooks the cultural context and social inequalities. To ensure equitable access to preventive, promotive, curative, and rehabilitative mental healthcare, India needs practitioners who combine a social perspective with an empathetic approach. To address this need, we designed a course titled "Critical Perspectives on Mental Health" that aims to introduce the relevant perspectives and community-based approaches to mental health. In this article, we share our reflections on designing this course and facilitating it in the form of a post-graduation programme.

从公共卫生角度看心理健康：教学反思

印度的心理健康讨论主要是从生物医学的角度来看待的，往往忽视了文化背景和社会不平等。为了确保公平地获得预防、促进、治疗和康复性的心理保健服务，印度需要将社会视角与移情方法相结合的从业人员。为了满足这一需求，我们设计了一门名为 "心理健康的批判性视角 "的课程，旨在介绍心理健康的相关视角和基于社区的方法。在这篇文章中，我们将与大家分享我们在设计这门课程以及以毕业后课程的形式推动这门课程的反思。

期刊介绍： The Indian Journal of Medical Ethics (formerly Issues in Medical Ethics) is a platform for discussion on health care ethics with special reference to the problems of developing countries like India. It hopes to involve all cadres of, and beneficiaries from, this system, and strengthen the hands of those with ethical values and concern for the under-privileged. The journal is owned and published by the Forum for Medical Ethics Society, a not-for-profit, voluntary organisation. The FMES was born out of an effort by a group of concerned doctors to focus attention on the need for ethical norms and practices in health care.
