Abstract:

Given the incidence of genitourinary trauma in service members surviving severe injury in Operation Iraqi Freedom/Operation Enduring Freedom, all health care and mental health providers attending this population need to have an awareness of the extent of injury, the physical and psychosocial impacts, and the resulting approaches to care. It is also important that clinicians are comfortable with assessment for issues relating to sexual health and intimacy, capable adequately addressing these issues, familiar with military culture as a component to these issues, and familiar with treatment, inte

Abstract:

The most effective psychosocial modalities for treating substance use disorders are cognitive-behavioral interventions, motivational interviewing and motivational enhancement, contingency management, community reinforcement, behavioral couples and family therapies, and 12-step facilitation approaches. The foci of these interventions include substance use behavior, patients’ life contexts, and their social and personal resources. Limited evidence is available for these interventions’ differential effectiveness. Brief interventions are highly effective in the treatment of alcohol use disorders.

Abstract:

The three broad areas of activity usually implied by psychosocial interventions in psychosis—psycho-education, behavioural family management, and cognitive behaviour therapy—are presented with their relative evidence base and strategies for delivering them through community outreach. Psychosocial interventions require a well-trained and resourced workforce, and the gap between best practice and routine delivery is manifest. Barriers and enablers are presented to show how this gap can be closed in a well-organized community outreach service.

Mental health law in the Indian subcontinent and the Middle East has been evolving over the past few decades. There have been rapid socio-economic, cultural, and psychosocial changes in the traditional, rural and family-centred societies. People with mental disorders are amongst the most vulnerable in these societies but there is meagre literature on the issue about coercion, coercive practice, standard measures on coercion, and restraint in this region. There are problems of limited resources and training and inadequate service provision. Anecdotal evidence suggests that coercion, is common,

The significant growth in the elderly population brings with it increased utilization of healthcare resources. Effective geriatric medical care requires effective communication and consideration of the challenges to communication in all stages of the continuum through health and disease.
