Abstract:
There is an increasing awareness of the importance of spirituality in mental health as reflected in the addition of the category "religious or spiritual problem" in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) and the inclusion of knowledge of spirituality amongst the training objectives for psychiatry residents outlined by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. However, a survey of Canadian psychiatry residency programs indicated that minimal training was offered in this area (Grabovac & Ganesan, 2003). The present study explored psychiatry residents'

The overall aim of this thesis was to increase knowledge about help-seeking young adults with mental illness in order to improve diagnostic procedures in clinical psychiatry. A group of young adult psychiatric out-patients (n=217) were consecutively invited to participate in the study between October 2002 and September 2003. Altogether 200 (92%) agreed to participate.

Abstract General hospital psychiatry operates between the somatic and psychiatric approaches concerning the treatment of patients, combining knowledge from both somatic and psychiatric medicine.

The reductionist tenets of the biomedical model of mental illness generate research methods and clinical practices that neglect significant cultural elements of mental illness. The biomedical model is reductionist because it assumes a view of the mind that lends itself to biological reductionism. Developing a more holistic model of mental illness requires replacing the accepted view of mind with a new one. In this paper, research demonstrating the significance of culture to mental illness will be reviewed in order to illuminate the flaws of the biomedical model. The extended mind theory will b
