For ten weeks, millions clapped, banged pots and cheered from their homes - yet for many National Health Service (NHS) workers, this display of public appreciation sat uneasily with their lived realities. This article examines the Clap for Carers as a complex and contested phenomenon, drawing on mainstream and social media discourse (2020-2024) and interviews with NHS clinicians conducted during a period of historic strike action (2023-2024). It explores how the ritual, although presented as a spontaneous outpouring of solidarity, reinforced divisions between the public and healthcare workers, transforming staff into symbols rather than addressing their material needs. The study situates the Clap within the cultural and political history of the NHS, highlighting its entanglement with narratives of national identity, duty and resilience. Clinicians' testimonies reveal the emotional and ethical burdens of their role, resisting the wartime rhetoric of sacrifice and instead pointing to experiences of moral injury and systemic neglect. As the UK emerges from the pandemic, this article asks how public narratives of care, crisis and gratitude shape the realities of healthcare work - and what is at stake when symbolic gestures replace meaningful support.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13634615261452853"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148608484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Developed as an experimental form of image/text analysis from a sensory ethnographic study of solid organ transplantation and drawing on ethnographic interviews, art workshops, and visual fieldnotes, our analysis tracks the bifurcated logic of cure through vignettes and fragments, building a larger visual and text-based narrative that engages crip technoscience as a means of reconsidering emotional distress and psychosocial challenges of transplantation. Transplantation offers a space to critically engage with the persistence of dualisms in medicine and psychiatry, complicating divisions and boundaries between sickness/health, before/after, mind/body, self/other. We see the enforcement and reinforcement of binary logics, and at the same time these are undone within the tempo and textures of the field when we attend to it through sensory and affective modes of study. Artistic practices and stories told as fragments and gestures rather than linear narratives can build upon one another, scaffolded to offer a different way of viewing dominant motifs in the culture of medicine, which offer different possible futures for thriving in/with disability.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13634615261452840"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-07-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148593990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article traces the history of psychiatry in Cambodia from its early institutional foundations in the colonial period, through its collapse during the Khmer Rouge genocide, to its re-establishment and progressive institutionalization in the post-conflict era. Drawing on historical archives, policy documents, and published literature, the paper describes three main phases of development: initial reconstruction and training (1992-2000), expansion of services and education (2001-2015), and recent efforts toward institutionalization and specialization (2015-present). Particular attention is given to the interaction between western psychiatric models and Cambodian cultural frameworks of distress rooted in Buddhism, animism, and community-based healing practices. The article highlights the central role of international collaboration, nongovernmental organizations, and emerging local leadership in shaping psychiatric services, while also documenting persistent challenges including workforce shortages, uneven geographic distribution of care, limited inpatient capacity, and enduring stigma. By situating psychiatry within Cambodia's broader sociocultural and historical context, this review contributes to a transcultural understanding of mental health system reconstruction in post-conflict settings. It also underscores the importance of culturally responsive, community-oriented approaches for sustainable development.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13634615261452815"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148340568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This raises questions about how mental health practitioners have interpreted relationships between the Gita and psychotherapy, how these interpretations construct selfhood, and how these interpretations of selfhood relate to commentaries from Hindu religious scholars. This paper answers these questions through a critical narrative review of studies on the Gita and psychotherapy, along with textual analyses of authoritative Gita commentaries, analyzed through the pattern theory of the self framework. An April 2025 search for studies that explored psychotherapy and selfhood in the Gita in five databases along with forward citation and backward bibliographic analyses uncovered 17 studies, all suggesting that principles of the Gita could be used within psychotherapy, with eight studies naming cognitive behavioral therapy. Thirteen drew on Hindu concepts of ātman, dharma, and karma to postulate an ideal self to help patients reflect on thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Authoritative commentaries from Ādi Śaṃkarācārya, Swami Vivekananda, and Swami Chinmayananda show that ātman as the eternal soul, dharma as morally prescribed behaviors, and karma as actions without expectations of results have religious connotations without equivalents in Euro-American forms of psychology. A post-colonial approach to psychiatry can read the Gita alongside its commentators-ancient and modern, religious and non-religious-to uncover ways of conceptualizing selfhood before assuming that religious concepts have direct correspondences with psychotherapy.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13634615261452805"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148212690","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the pandemic's impact was global, its disruptions were experienced and perceived in diverse ways. Yet much of the literature reported a worldwide rise in mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety, reinforcing global mental health discourses of universality while overlooking ongoing debates on local contexts in mental health. Within this narrative, low- and middle-income countries such as Ghana and Nigeria were depicted as especially vulnerable, prompting calls to expand services through task-shifting strategies. Such calls marginalise the lived reality of such populations, leading to interventions that may not meet the needs of society. This study aims to examine how people in Ghana and Nigeria experienced distress and anxiety during the pandemic, considering their sociocultural factors. A multidisciplinary approach was used to collect data, including ethnography, COVID-19 case management notes, clinical records, and media reports. Thematic analysis showed that distress was shaped by international narratives echoing colonial logics, which portrayed African countries as deficient or incapable, and by structural violence arising from public health policies. These findings contribute to critical debates in global mental health, challenging universalist assumptions about the pandemic's mental health impact and questioning the sufficiency of biomedical models within task-shifting strategies. The study highlights the need for context-specific approaches that engage more deeply with the sociocultural, political, and historical factors shaping experiences of distress, and that recognise the diverse ways that mental health is understood and addressed.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"13634615261435844"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148145058","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, its conceptualization in Global South countries like Brazil remains incipient. We aimed to synthesize qualitative studies on the recovery process among people with severe mental illness in Brazil and compare these findings with North American and European frameworks, particularly CHIME (Connectedness, Hope, Identity, Meaning, and Empowerment). Following ENTREQ (Enhancing Transparency in Reporting the Synthesis of Qualitative Research) and PICo (Population, Phenomenon of Interest, and Context), guidelines, we screened 1,224 studies; seven were included, representing a total of 83 participants. Quality was assessed using the RATS (Relevance, Appropriateness, Transparency, and Soundness) checklist; all studies achieved acceptable to high quality standards (scores 16-24), with a 91.4% inter-rater agreement rate. Four analytical themes emerged from 13 descriptive themes: Protagonism (Autonomy, Overcoming, Empowerment); Bond (Peer Support, Belonging, Connection with others, Welcoming); Awareness (Insight, Acceptance, Psychotic Episode, Stigma, Pathologization); and Hope. While findings align with universal aspects of recovery, cultural specificities arise from the central role of \"Protagonism\" and \"Bond.\" These themes reflect the Brazilian cultural and historical background, emphasizing citizenship and a collectivist orientation over individualistic models. Unlike Global North frameworks focusing on internal psychological states, our findings highlight recovery as deeply rooted in social ties and political agency. We recommend future research and implementation efforts utilize locally salient terms to respect these cultural markers.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"260-276"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147983865","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although previous studies have looked at the effects of terrorism on children's mental health, there is a lack of peer-reviewed studies on the effects of terrorism on adolescents' psychosocial adjustment. This study addresses this gap with data on the consequences of Boko Haram terrorism in the northeast of Nigeria. A cross-sectional research design was adopted through systematic sampling. In total, 391 children who were directly affected by Boko Haram terrorism were surveyed. A majority of the sample was male (60.4%). Respondent age ranged from 11 to 23 years (M = 18.00, SD = 2.83). Analyses revealed that 291 (74.42%) of the respondents reported severe traumatic exposure-a markedly increased percentage compared with prevalence rates in countries without conflict. The majority of respondents (70.4%) reported clinically significant symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). PTSD regularly co-occurred with other mental health and behavioral symptoms: depression, anxiety, and aggression. Terrorism-induced distress had an adverse effect on psychosocial adjustment (R2 = .364, F(6, 385) p < .01). For example, it was found that children were restricted in their social life. Boko Haram terrorism has a devastating impact on adolescents' mental health; most victims presented clinically relevant symptoms of PTSD. The victimized respondents were affected in their psychosocial adjustment to daily life and their educational development. Their vulnerability increases the risk of becoming potential recruits for terrorists. Supporting the victims would thus not only reduce their suffering but also decrease the likelihood of an ongoing cycle of violence.","PeriodicalId":47864,"journal":{"name":"Transcultural Psychiatry","volume":" ","pages":"219-233"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13309627/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147934506","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
