Tuffour, Isaac. "Black African service users experiences of recovery from mental illness in England." Thesis, City, University of London, 2017. http://openaccess.city.ac.uk/18096/.

Abstract:

Background: Recovery is a complex and contested concept. Many studies have explored the meaning of the concept from the perspectives of service users suffering from mental illness. However, too little attention has been paid to the experiences of Black African service users (BASUs) living in England. At the time of writing this work there were no studies that have explored recovery from the perspectives of BASUs in England. Aims of the study: The aim of the present study is to explore experiences of recovery from mental illness of BASUs in England. Methodology and methods: Semi-structured inte

Abstract:

Social businesses have been developed outside of formal mental health systems in order to improve the employment prospects of people with mental illness whose unemployment rates are the highest of all disability groups. This study aims to better understand how social businesses experience, and influence, the stigma of mental illness in employment, where stigma is thought to be operating with particular force. A comparative case study of five social businesses located in three Canadian cities was conducted. Data sources included participant observation; 44 individual and group interviews with 7

Abstract:

This study predicted that individuals diagnosed as having higher levels of stress, based upon DSM-III-R, Axis IV ratings, would also be diagnosed as having more severe forms of mental illness. Conversely, it predicted that individuals with higher premorbid health ratings, according to DSM-III-R, Axis V, would be diagnosed as having less severe forms of mental illness. Highly significant correlations were found between stress ratings and severity of disorder. Significant inverse relationships were also found between Axis V ratings and disorder severity.

Abstract:

The stigmatization of people with mental illness is present in all facets of modern society. Many studies have shown that even mental workers trained to work with this vulnerable population held stigmatizing attitudes about mental illness and people with mental illness. This study: (1) examined if the functioning of graduates from mental health agencies was impacted by the attitudes of workers. (2) Compared the attitudes of the mental health professionals of four local agency settings to the US general population. (3) Examined the relationship between worker attitudes and stated agency policie

Up where the dog barks (creation). Sitting around the table of a secret municipal council, a mayor and his aldermen, outraged by the village idiot's stupidity, are planning his death. On a beautiful spring's morning, they kidnap him and throw him in a isolated well, whose opening they carefully seal afterwards. Three days later, however, screams are heard from the bottom of the idiot's pit. Contaminated within their own cadastre by the innocent's cries, the villagers, one after another, will have to tell their story: their rural madness, hidden within their common unawareness.

Abstract:

Research in several domains has revealed that when individuals are asked to estimate the probability that their judgments are correct, they reveal an overconfidence effect. Judgments produced in decision environments such as psychodiagnosis, which are by their nature ambiguous and complex, appear to be most vulnerable to overconfidence. By implication, this phenomenon threatens the validity of clinical judgment and subjects clients to risks of flawed diagnoses and unsuitable treatments.<br>In an effort to identify variables implicated in judgment confidence and overconfidence, this study exami

Abstract:

Clinical depression has been unilaterally construed as a biochemical imbalance in serotonerigic systems. The over-simplification of disease reflects economic, political, and social forces that pathologize normal behaviors to manufacture illness. This paper considers evolutionary and dynamic systems biology to advance the idea that subclinical depression is an illness within culture that manifests biologically, as opposed to being organically created and sustained. The classic medical model underestimates psychosocial elements of depression. Patient narratives show the limitations of the medica

This thesis investigates different spaces in the lives of a group of adults living with long-term mental illness in Montreal. In particular, it is interested in exploring the role and functions of an alternative mental health resource that they all attend, using their narratives as the basis of meaning construction. My intention is to illuminate the complex interplay of identity, social participation, and physical place itself in the 'space' of experience for individuals.

Women with enduring mental illness are little considered in research and there is a dearth of occupational therapy literature concerning mental illness, although a third of therapists work in this speciality. This study explored two groups of women within a Scottish context. Phase One involved five women who lived with enduring mental illness, and Phase Two included sixteen occupational therapists who worked in mental health settings with similar women. Qualitative methodology, specifically, life history and focus group interviews, were used to give voice to the women's life and therapists' wo

The purpose of this inquiry was to explore the relational experiences of patients with acute mental illness and their nurses in inpatient psychiatric settings.

The aim of this study was to improve medical understanding of patients' illness experience and everyday thinking about physical distress, by focusing on patients' and physicians' narratives of medically unexplained symptoms. Semi-structured interviews were held with 16 Canadian and immigrant patients from two primary care clinics in Montreal, and separately with their physician. Detailed content analysis reveals that, despite the absence of diagnosis, both patient and physicians hold complex and dynamic models of illness. Physicians' explanations rely almost exclusively on biomedical construct

It is estimated that one in five Australians are affected by a mental disorder, and the associated burden of living with a mental illness will become one of the greatest health care issues during the next 20 years. Since the 1960s, the care of people with mental disorders has been transferred to community settings including to rural areas of Australia through the process of deinstitutionalisation. However, research on young adults living with a mental illness in rural communities is limited, and the multidimensional experience of this group of young adults has not been previously explored.

Abstract:

The history of the care of the mentally ill in Britain, which has been broadly reflected in Western Australia since 1826, can be conveniently, if simplistically divided into a number of epochs. Each epoch is characterised by a particular focus or paradigm of clinical management, which prevails over a period of time but is then followed by a comparatively short period of rapid change to a new paradigm. Such changes are shaped by a number of forces, but three categories can be readily identified. These are: concepts of mental illness; reactions of administrative systems and the attitudes of medi

However whilst often supported clinically, limited empirical evidence exists which supports the use of volunteer work as a potential mode of rehabilitation for consumers.

Long before the publishing of Verlaine's Poetes maudits , it has been written and thought, in various circles and contexts, that writers of genius were doomed to an unhappy life. Nevertheless, it was only about 1760--1770 that the conditions allowing for the emergence of a myth of the unhappy writer were gathered. This myth affirms the christlike vocation of the author and associates greatness to unhappiness. This thesis seeks to understand this mythical phenomenon within a historical perspective.

After examining the arguments made by proponents of each approach, this study seeks to lay the foundations for positive analyses which will allow for the rehabilitation of female madness and the foregrounding of the link between insanity and female identity.
