The ‘culture’ of the encounter between the mental health practitioner and the patient can be viewed through three dominant perspectives; paternalism, autonomy and reciprocity. Culture strongly influences how persons construct and negotiate their autonomous identities and the concept of relational autonomy may be more relevant in traditional societies like India. In this article, research studies and practitioner viewpoints are brought together to highlight the debates related to patient-practitioner communication, confidentiality and disclosure, informed consent and decision-making capacity, involuntary admissions and discharge processes, use of covert medication, advance directives and cultural influences on the definition of professional boundaries. Understanding the complex interplay of cultural beliefs and processes, culturally embedded practitioner value systems, economics, social justice paradigms and existing mental health care systems in traditional and resource-poor societies can provide a deeper understanding of the ethics of mental health care. A view of reality as interpretative and contextual can enhance our understanding of the ethical playing field in mental health care in both traditional and modern societies.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"41 1","pages":"285 - 297"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83599235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A convenience sample of 90 men who sought asylum from Eritrea and Sudan and presented at the Open-Clinic in Tel-Aviv, Israel, participated in the study. Participants completed measures assessing exposure to traumatic events, perceived social support and PTSD symptoms in their native language. The majority of participants had been exposed to traumatic events. Lack of shelter, ill health without access to medical care, imprisonment and torture were most prevalent. Perceived social support was associated with lower PTSD symptoms only among those who reported low exposure to traumatic events. Among asylees who reported high exposure to traumatic events, social support did not affect the association between exposure to traumatic events and PTSD symptoms. Our findings show that perceived social support serves as a significant moderator in the relationship between exposure to traumatic events and PTSD symptoms among asylum seekers, depending on the severity of exposure to traumatic events. The complex relationship between protective factors such as perceived social support, exposure to trauma and mental health should inform mental health services for forced migrants.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"19 s29","pages":"261 - 275"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/17542863.2017.1299190","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72386876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This exploratory research looks at how mental health trainees and practitioners, across various mental health disciplines, perceive and experience ethical dilemmas in the therapy space. Method: The sample included 12 mental health practitioners from varied mental health disciplines (clinical psychology, psychiatry and psychiatric social work), and practising counsellors, from an urban city in India. Three focus group discussions were conducted, where participants expressed the ethical issues and challenges encountered during their sessions with clients. Results: Content analysis of the narratives of the focus group discussions highlighted prominent ethical dilemmas in these domains: negotiation of boundaries or frames of the interaction; involvement of family in therapeutic decisions; negotiation of issues of gender and power in therapy; value conflicts in working with sexuality issues; therapist competence; and method of resolution of ethical dilemmas. Personal and cultural values emerged as impacting the perceptions, interpretations and experience of ethically challenging situations. The findings have implications for the development of culturally sensitive and value-based training methodologies.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"19 1","pages":"217 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87677425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Currently, there is a dearth of literature focused on the ways in which members of Sudanese communities in Canada understand or make meaning of the constructs of mental health and illness. The purpose of this article is to explore the perceptions and understandings of mental health and illness through the lens of Southern Sudanese community members in Toronto, Ontario, and Calgary and Brooks, Alberta . Thirty-two in-depth interviews across the three sites were completed using a semi-structured interview guide. Multi-lingual Sudanese research assistants conducted the interviews. Using an inductive data analysis approach, seven major themes emerged related to the focus of the study: Sudanese perceptions and understandings of mental health; social isolation; neglect of personal hygiene; stigma; mental health as multi-dimensional; stress as a cause; and positive mental health. The paper concludes with implications for mental health practitioners.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"94 1","pages":"238 - 249"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91043329","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to examine the psychometric properties (factorial structure, inter-correlations, reliability, and criterion validity) of an Arabic translation of the Personality Inventory for DSM-5 across three Arabic-speaking countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, and Qatar; N = 710). The results of first-order 25-factor CFAs indicated generally acceptable to good fit for the Arabic version of the PID-5. In addition, the results of higher-order five factors CFAs (using the five domains) indicated a generally acceptable fit. Furthermore, the 25 facets of the PID-5 had moderate to high reliability using Cronbach’s alpha. Finally, the five domains of the PID-5 had strong inter-correlations and expected associations with the FFM model of personality. Therefore, this study replicated the adequate psychometric properties of the PID-5 in Arabic-speaking Middle Eastern countries.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"39 1","pages":"197 - 205"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73421799","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors were particularly interested in barriers and facilitators to service access and engagement, and conducted two qualitative research projects to improve understanding of the issues – the first with service providers experienced in the refugee area and the second with young refugee service users. The aim of this project was to compare the perspectives of professionals and service users and to identify similarities and differences. The perspectives of the service users and providers were strikingly similar. The analysis identified 21 implications for policy makers, agencies and practitioners, which ranged from issues concerning cultural sensitivity, background matching and mental health literacy to accessibility, setting boundaries and expectations and implementing a holistic and outreach approach. There is a range of specific, practical measures that policy makers and service providers can introduce to enhance access to and engagement with mental health services for young people from refugee backgrounds.","PeriodicalId":38926,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Culture and Mental Health","volume":"126 1","pages":"185 - 196"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85704529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
