Participation of people with psychosocial disability in mental health policy development in South Africa
No full textThis study addressed the following question: What are the barriers and strategies to support the participation of South Africans with psychosocial disability in mental health policy development in South Africa? A systematic literature review (objective 1) addressed the question: ""What supports people with psychosocial disability to participate in national mental health policy development?"" The WHO Checklist for Mental Health Legislation, the WHO Checklist for Mental Health Policy and Plan, and domain 4 of the World Health Organisation Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems (WHO-AIMS) were completed, and 96 semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders were conducted, to assess current stakeholder, mental health legislation and policy support for the participation of people with psychosocial disability in South Africa (Objective 2). Nvivo-7 software was used to analysis qualitative data, using a framework analysis approach to data analysis and interpretation. These interviews were also used to ascertain the views of 56 of the 96 South African stakeholders' involved in mental health services, on environmental barriers to the participation of people with psychosocial disability in mental health policy development in South Africa (objective 3). The remaining 40 interviews with people with psychosocial disability documented their lived experience of barriers to their participation in policy development, and highlighted their priorities for policy development (Objective 4). Eleven key informants involved in leadership roles in peer led organisations for people with psychosocial disability in Africa were interviewed to inform understanding of opportunities for supporting people with psychosocial disability to participate in mental health policy development (Objective 5). The findings of objectives 1-5 were triangulated to inform the development of a conceptual framework for supporting South Africans with psychosocial disability to participate in mental health policy development (objective 6). The framework proposes the need for social transformation to overcome barriers to the inclusion of people with psychosocial disability in society, including as policy participants, support for self-directed agency, and opportunity for meaningful participation in policy development
"A fine balance" : a case study of love, hatred and sadomasochism
No full textBibliography: leaves 78-84.This dissertation describes a clinical decision taken to separate an adolescent girl child from her mother and place her in the care of her father. This decision was considered imperative in light of the continued risks posed to the physical and emotional health of the child through continued living with her mother. The mother's combined presentation of hatred and sadomasochism, underlying a borderline personality structure, acted as a powerful obstacle in her being able to love her daughter. Using the theoretical tenets of self psychology to understand the clinical presentation of both mother and daughter, it emerged that the fragmented self-structure of the mother, which had its antecedents in her own traumatic childhood milieu did not permit an interpretive therapeutic approach. Instead work with both the mother and daughter required careful and continuous monitoring, and a flexible clinical stance especially when the therapy itself inadvertently retraumatised the mother. The advantage of the case study, the methodological design employed in this thesis, is that it enabled one to provide an in-depth study of a specific case, especially in light of issues that are considered unusual such as the separation that this intervention demanded. The case study also provided the opportunity to follow the progress of the psychotherapeutic treatment of the child both prior to and after the separation. A detailed discussion of the therapy provides an opportunity to reflect on the issues which informed the decision, the process and the outcome. Reflecting on the theoretical, research and clinical implications of the decision leads to the conclusion that the value of psychoanalytic theory cannot be undermined, especially as it provided the theoretical justification for the decision which has had a helpful outcome for the child concerned
What is the Effect of Social Rhythm Disrupting Events on Mood in Individuals with Bipolar Disorder?
No full textThe social zeitgeber hypothesis suggests that life events have the capacity to lead to the onset of affective episodes in those vulnerable to bipolar disorder via biological and social rhythm disruption. However, few studies have systematically evaluated the role of life events that disrupt social routines in the exacerbation of mood symptoms. This report examined the effect of social rhythm disrupting (SRD) events on recurrence during preventative treatment in a sample of 82 patients with bipolar disorder who achieved remission from an acute episode, and assessed whether treatment assignment (interpersonal and social rhythm therapy (IPSRT) vs. intensive clinical management (ICM)) moderated this effect. We also examined the effect of short term (STC) and long term (LTC) threat (unpleasant) events. Recurrence was determined by blinded senior psychiatrists who were not otherwise involved in the conduct of the study and who were asked to determine whether the participant met Research Diagnostic Criteria for a new affective episode. Life events were measured with the Bedford College Life Events and Difficulty Schedule (LEDS) and were rated for degree of SRD and threat. Chi-square tests, Kaplan-Meier survival analyses, and Cox proportional hazards models showed that patients who had a recurrence were more likely to experience independent SRD, STC, and LTC events prior to recurrence than those who survived the two-year preventative phase without a recurrence, and this event occurred closer in time to recurrence than to a corresponding non-recurrence point in the non-recurrence group. In contrast, events that were rated for SRD and threat were not more likely to occur among individuals experiencing a recurrence than events rated for threat only. Nor did such a combined event occur more closely in time to a recurrence than events rated for threat only. Last, among those who experienced an SRD event, those who received preventative IPSRT were more likely to have a recurrence than those who received preventative ICM. Future studies should focus on the types of SRD events that are related to mood worsening, as well as on novel methods of examining these scientific aims that make use of longitudinal datasets
American Naval Policy, Strategy, Plans and Operations in the Second Decade of the Twenty-first Century
No full textThis paper provides a brief overview of U.S. Navy policy, strategy, plans and
operations. It discusses some basic fundamentals and the Navy’s three major
operational activities: peacetime engagement, crisis response, and wartime combat.
It concludes with a general discussion of U.S. naval forces. It was originally written
as a contribution to an international conference on maritime strategy and security,
and originally published as a chapter in a Routledge handbook in 2015. The author
is a longtime contributor to, advisor on, and observer of US Navy strategy and policy,
and the paper represents his personal but well-informed views. The paper was
written while the Navy (and Marine Corps and Coast Guard) were revising their triservice strategy document A Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower, finally
signed and published in March 2015, and includes suggestions made by the author to
the drafters during that time.This work was performed under Federal Government Contract No. N00014-16-D-5003
