P4W 25 Years Later: Memory, Art and Action
Full text linkThe Prison for Women (P4W) in Kingston, Ontario was Canada’s only federal prison for women from 1934-2000. Just four years after P4W opened in 1934, the Archambault Report recommended its closure due to “disgraceful conditions”, yet it remained open until the year 2000. Since the closure of P4W, several federal women’s prisons have been opened across the country. We invite submissions reflecting on questions raised by the twenty-fifth anniversary of the closure of P4W.
Have you done time in a prison or healing lodge for women? Would you like to share art and/or write about the current conditions inside?
In your experience, what role does art play in survival and resistance within and outside women’s prisons in Canada?
If you were inside P4W, what do you remember and what do you try to forget? What has changed in women’s prisons since the closure of P4W and what has remained the same?
We especially invite contributions to this special issue from people who have been imprisoned in women’s prisons in Canada. We particularly invite people who were imprisoned at P4W and Kingston Penitentiary (e.g. Regional Treatment Centre) to send in submissions. We also encourage collaborative essays or dialogues between current/former prisonersand from people on the outside. If you are interested but want to chat first, please feel welcome to reach out to us (see contact information below.These questions are especially pressing, given the sale of P4W to a private developer who plans to turn the prison into a mixture of residential, office and retail space. While P4W has been designated as a “recognized heritage building”, there has been little formal recognition of the site’s social history and its enduring impact on the lives of people who were imprisoned there.
Mental health nursing and the negotiated order of professions: A critical analysis of psychotherapy discourses in Québec (Canada)
No full textAccess to mental health care remains a pressing global issue. In response, policymakers have devised strategies that span from self-care to psychotherapy, hoping to ease the strain. However, reforms over the past two decades have significantly restricted access to psychotherapy, limiting the number of professionals, such as nurses, allowed to practise under stringent conditions. This article examines the effects of Quebec’s public policies on the practice of psychotherapy and mental health interventions. A critical discourse analysis, grounded in Strauss’s theory of negotiated order, was conducted on 48 policy documents and public discourses. The findings reveal that mental health interventions have become disconnected from their therapeutic essence, reduced instead to technical tasks. This shift perpetuates a hierarchical professional landscape, subordinating these practices despite their reliance on the relational dynamics that define effective mental health care. For the nursing profession, the implications are profound. The profession’s contribution to providing timely access to community-based mental health services is being overlooked, stymied by outdated perceptions and policy restrictions.
Apathy, Intentions, Explicit Attitudes, and Approach-Avoidance Tendencies in Physical Activity Behavior: Apathy & Physical Activity
No full textBackground. Greater behavioral apathy has been shown to be associated with lower engagement in physical activity. However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain overlooked and poorly understood. Intentions, explicit attitudes, and approach-avoidance tendencies toward physical activity may play a central role in the relationship, given their strong links to motivation and physical activity.
Methods. An online study was conducted in 365 participants aged 54±18 years. All measures were assessed using questionnaires, except approach-avoidance tendencies, which were derived from reaction times in an approach-avoidance task. Component mediation analyses based on multiple linear regressions were conducted to examine whether the intention to be physically active mediated the relationship between behavioral apathy levels and usual physical activity levels, and whether explicit attitudes and approach-avoidance tendencies mediated the relationship between behavioral apathy and the intention.
Results. Results showed that weaker intentions to be physically active mediated the association between higher behavioral apathy and lower usual weekly levels of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. In addition, explicit attitudes mediated the effect of behavioral apathy on intentions to be physically active. Results on approach-avoidance tendencies showed a significant three-way interaction between apathy, stimulus (physical activity vs. sedentary behavior), and action direction (approach vs. avoidance) on corrected reaction time (b = 19.6; 95CI = 2.0 to 37.3; p = .029), with higher apathy being associated with a greater tendency to avoid physical activity stimuli and to approach sedentary stimuli. However, we found no evidence suggesting that these tendencies mediated the effect of apathy on intentions or habitual physical activity. Based on our data, a mean item score greater than 34.5% of the scale range (e.g., >3.07 on a 1–7 scale) is indicative of behavioral apathy.
Conclusion. This study provides new insights into the role of intentions, explicit attitudes, and approach-avoidance tendencies toward physical activity in the relationship between behavioral apathy levels and the engagement in physical activity
