1. The document discusses the complex needs of homeless people with personality disorders and how they face further exclusion from services due to behaviors interpreted as chaotic rather than vulnerabilities.
2. High percentages of populations in homeless shelters, prisons, mental hospitals have personality disorders, showing their overrepresentation among marginalized groups.
3. A new enhanced approach is proposed to engage this group in a validating, transparent, and non-judgmental manner to jointly address needs, build trust, and motivate positive change through culturally-sensitive support.
From Symptoms to People; Personality Disorder and Homelessnesslnnmhomeless
1. The document discusses the complex needs of homeless people with personality disorders and how they face further exclusion from services due to behaviors interpreted as chaotic rather than vulnerabilities.
2. It notes high rates of personality disorders among homeless, prison, and mental hospital populations compared to the general public.
3. The author advocates for an "enhanced" counseling approach that validates experiences, develops understanding, and promotes safety, relationships, and motivation to support transitions to housing and treatment.
This document analyzes the documentary "On the Psych Ward" by Stacey Dooley as inspiration for the author's own documentary about mental health. Some of the techniques noted that the author aims to emulate include using both factual information and first-hand patient experiences to explain mental health issues, having the presenter actively involved with the subjects, and employing fast editing during tense moments. The document also discusses language, industries, audiences, and representation techniques used in "On the Psych Ward" that the author found effective.

Hypomania is a phase of bipolar disorder characterized by euphoria, increased energy, decreased need for sleep, and increased productivity. While these symptoms may seem desirable, hypomania often precedes full manic episodes involving disabling symptoms that can lead to hospitalization or job loss. Additionally, the "high" of hypomania does not last and will inevitably flip into a depressive state. Portrayals like Claire Danes' character on Homeland provide a realistic example of the disconnected thought processes and nonstop speech that occur during hypomanic episodes.
This document outlines an approach called "pre-treatment therapy" for homeless people with complex needs. It aims to establish a secure base and enhance mentalization abilities. The approach uses limited re-parenting and empathic boundary setting to fulfill childhood emotional needs while confronting the need for change. It recognizes that homelessness itself is traumatic and that homeless individuals often present in crisis mode with maladaptive coping behaviors. The pre-treatment therapy seeks to first address psychological resources and stabilize chaotic circumstances before engaging in traditional treatment models.
This document discusses dignity in mental health and is a presentation from Dr. Okonoda. It covers several topics:
- The introduction of World Mental Health Day and its goal of expanding public education on mental health issues.
- Why dignity was chosen as the theme for this year, noting that many with mental illness experience negative encounters and stigma is a barrier to care.
- Living with mental illness can negatively impact one's dignity through both disrespectful treatment by others and loss of internal self-dignity; restoring dignity requires a collaborative societal effort.
- The presentation provides perspectives from those with lived experience of mental illness on what dignity means to them.
1. This document discusses public opinion and persuasion, defining strategic publics, public opinion, and the persuasion process.
2. It identifies the key factors that influence public opinion formation, including personal, religious, educational, social class, and cultural factors.
3. Persuasion involves using communication to influence attitudes and behaviors, and relies on audience analysis, source credibility, appealing to self-interest, clear messaging, timing, participation, and well-structured content.
This document discusses applying biopsychosocial therapy approaches including motivational interviewing, therapeutic neuroscience education, and emotional intelligence in physical therapy. It outlines how these tools can help address chronic pain by establishing trust with patients, avoiding reliance on passive treatments, and modifying patient education. Specific techniques are described, such as using open-ended questions, affirmations, reflective listening, summarizing, and scaling questions to assess motivation. The goal is to empower patients and reduce fear-avoidance behaviors that can lead to chronic pain.

Why Do People Do What They Do? A Social Norms Manual for Viet Nam, Indonesia and the Philippines. The Multi-Country Study on the Drivers of Violence Affecting Children. By; Cristina Bicchieri
This document provides an overview and introduction to the textbook "Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective". It discusses that psychology is the scientific study of mind and behavior. The textbook uses learning tools like study units to break down chapters into subtopics and apply psychological knowledge to engage students in learning. It emphasizes the importance of thinking like a psychological scientist by being critical and considering multiple sources of evidence rather than absolute conclusions. It also discusses the brief history of psychology and how early approaches have merged into today's emphasis on research ethics and transparency. Popular psychology is distinguished from empirical psychological science and the importance of critical thinking is highlighted. Diversity of perspectives is important for fully understanding human behavior.
This document summarizes a presentation about defining pathways to reducing restraint and seclusion. It discusses dispelling myths about restraint being used as punishment or the only way to maintain safety. Alternative perspectives are presented, such as developing closer working relationships between staff and service users to reduce the need for restraint. Data from studies on restraint-related deaths show people have died from reasons like refusing to clean a toaster. The presentation advocates for changing staff behaviors rather than focusing only on training and paperwork. It outlines ingredients for a restraint reduction program, such as intensifying scrutiny of restraint and giving staff and service users more choices.
This document provides guidance for grant-making organizations to support projects that address mental health stigma and discrimination through social contact. It discusses the impact of stigma, how social contact works to reduce prejudice by facilitating conversations between those with and without lived experience, and how to evaluate social contact projects. The top things funders should look for in applications are that the project will reach the public, focus on one-to-one conversations, be led by those with lived experience, provide robust volunteer training and support, and be community-led. Case studies and resources are also provided.
This document provides an overview of Open Dialogue (OD) as a therapeutic approach for treating substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders. OD was developed in Finland as an alternative to traditional treatment models that focus heavily on diagnosis and pathology. Key aspects of OD include engaging the client's social network from the first meeting, collaborating with the network to adapt treatment to individual needs, and holding meetings that include both professionals and network members in an open dialogue. Research shows OD has been effective in treating psychosis. This paper argues OD holds promise for addressing substance abuse by taking a holistic, network-oriented approach that supports long-term recovery beyond just symptom reduction.

Public attitudes toward mental illness are slowly improving, but stigma and discrimination remain widespread according to a recent government survey. While more people now view mental illness as similar to physical illness, prejudices against certain conditions like schizophrenia persist. Reducing stigma requires ongoing efforts like increasing public education, encouraging open discussion of mental health, and promoting personal stories of living with mental illness. Changing entrenched attitudes will take time, but continued awareness campaigns, anti-discrimination laws, and challenging misconceptions in the media can help drive further positive change.

From Populations to Patients: Social Determinants of Health & Mental Health i...Université de Montréal
Abstract:
The overall objective of this webinar is to harness the powerful data of populational studies to patients in clinical practice.
This is effectively a plan for applying social psychiatry to the clinic –a call for “Clinical Social Psychiatry.”
This objective will be addressed through three goals with seven steps:
(A) Review social psychiatry’s powerful populational studies on psychiatric epidemiology and Social Determinants of Health & Mental Health (SDH/MH)
1. Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Studies
2. Global Mental Health (GMH) – Treatment Gaps
3. Epidemiology to reflect the burden of disease
(B) Promote translational research of social psychiatric studies – redefining health in social terms
4a. Translational research to redefine health
4b. Mental health in a social context (C) Provide ground-level prescriptions aimed at prevention, promotion, intervention, and adaptation
5. Mental health services to be delivered where people live
6. Shared care/integrated care/collaborative care
7. We can’t do everything – address common and pressing problems

Title:
Social Psychiatry Perspectives on the Health of Canadians:
A Social Psychiatry Manifesto & Intimate Partner Violence
Symposium Panel:
1. Vincenzo Di Nicola (Chair & Presenter, Montreal, QC)
2. Daphne Marussi (Presenter, Sherbrooke, QC)
Abstract:
This workshop sponsored by the Canadian Association of Social Psychiatry (CASP) reviews two contemporary Canadian psychiatric issues from a social psychiatry perspective:
1. Vincenzo Di Nicola (Montreal, QC) presents a social psychiatry manifesto with an overview of Social Psychiatry in the 21st century by surveying three main branches of Social Psychiatry: (1) psychiatric epidemiological studies and public health; (2) community psychiatry; and (3) relational and social therapies such as couple, family and community therapies. Implications for research, practice, and teaching in social psychiatry will be outlined.
2. Daphne Marussi (Sherbrooke, QC) explores Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) which describes an alarming aspect of relational violence with major social psychiatric consequences: the physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current/former partner that is associated with many mental disorders from anxiety and depression to eating and substance abuse disorders. This presentation discusses different forms of psychological abuse and coercive control in IPV, the abused/abuser bond and their impacts and consequences.

Community Psychology Practice in Taiwan from 1990s to 2015Tsai-Chung Chou
This document summarizes the development of community psychology (CP) practice in Taiwan from the 1990s to 2015. It discusses key events like the introduction of CP courses in universities in the early 1990s. While 25 community mental health centers existed, only 1-2 implemented core CP values. CP practitioners held symposiums from 2004-2006. Challenges included most students pursuing careers in private practice and a focus on neuroscience research. Strengths were engagement with government projects and a new CP-focused master's program starting in 2011. The future of CP could include international collaboration, online platforms, interdisciplinary work, cultural diversity, disadvantaged group empowerment, and community well-being promotion.
Circles of Support and Accountability_The prison model_FinalRosie Kitson-Boyce
The document discusses prison-based Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA) for sex offenders in the UK. CoSAs involve volunteers providing social support to sex offenders (core members) to help with reintegration. The prison model begins CoSAs 3-6 months before release. Preliminary research finds benefits include core members being prepared for release challenges, staying in their "comfort zone" of prison during circles, keeping treatment skills active, volunteers assisting the transition from prison to community, and circles providing long-term support that can aid desistance from reoffending. However, some issues with the chaotic practice and risk management aspects of the prison model were also found.
The document discusses the concept of adjustment in modern life. It describes adjustment as referring to the psychological processes through which people manage or cope with the demands of everyday life. The document outlines several topics related to adjustment, including personality, stress, coping strategies, interpersonal relationships, psychological health, and psychological disorders. Overall, the document provides an overview of the broad scope of issues studied within the concept of adjustment in the 21st century.

5. High Stakes
John Conolly, January 2015
One particularly dangerous aspect of PD is that in
their search to meet their emotional and
psychological needs, PD patients
will continually up the ante until the destruction
wrought upon themselves or others is so great that it
can be no longer ignored, and usually culminates in
emergency admissions
(Burns, 2006).

address their
underlying
vulnerabilities, these

7. Historically homeless people, due to their
unsettled circumstances and state of mind, have
been perceived as unable to make use of mh and
psychological services.

trainings the following were very much stressed
as patient pre-requirements:
– Psychological mindedness
– Ability to reflect
– Connect with and articulate feelings

– Be more transparent regarding my thoughts, feelings,

There was a constant concern NOT to confuse
‘Boundary crossing with ‘Boundary violation’ ( Gutheil,
2005):
Boundary crossing - temporary, non –exploitative
deviations from ‘classical/general practice that do no harm
and actually help
Boundary violation, - harmful deviation from the norm
One major distinguishing factor being whether these
deviations can be discussed in the public domain, in
Supervision, with other colleagues.

3. Common Language Construction – try to understand homeless
person’s world by learning meaning of his/her gestures, words, and
actions – promoting mutual understanding and jointly defined goals
2. Develop relationship – engage in a trust, safety and autonomy
promoting manner while developing goals ( Motivational
Interviewing techniques, Person centred listening skills)
1. Promote Safety – crisis intervention, use opportunity for further
work

15. 4. Facilitate and Support Change – point out
discrepancies, explore ambivalence, reinforce
healthy behaviours and developing skills, as well as
needed supports – use Change Model & Motivational
Interviewing Principles. ( Miller & Rollnick, 2013).
5. Cultural and Ecological Considerations - Prepare
and support homeless person for successful
transition and adaptation to new relationships, ideas,
services, resources, treatment, accommodation etc.
