Cooperation and contention in
psychiatric work
Seth D. Messinger
University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Abstract
This article discusses the social organization of psychiatric work in the psychiatric
emergency department of a public general hospital located in New York City, based
on ethnographic research conducted from 1999 to 2001. Case studies of the care of
two patients with ambiguous symptoms are discussed. The analysis applies the ‘‘differ-
ences approach’’ developed by Mol and colleagues which focuses on the way different
professions provide divergent explanations and ontologies for symptoms and illness.
The cases illustrate the ways in which social structural constraints are compelling psy-
chiatry to become a multidisciplinary specialty.

Many patients who present to psychiatric emergency departments in large urban
centers in the US have multiple problems, which go beyond the disciplinary range
of psychiatry and require the services of other occupations that thus far have served
in positions subordinate or ancillary to psychiatrists (Freidson, 1988). These prob-
lems include co-morbidity of mental illness and drug or alcohol dependence, and
problems including unemployment, poverty, homelessness, and other social ills.
The presence of this wide variety of co-morbidities coupled with a relative scarcity
of hospital inpatient beds has altered the social landscape of psychiatry. Once
ancillary occupation groups, like addiction counseling, now have a claim on the
provision of beds which are key hospital resources as well as access to networks of
placements through outpatient substance abuse rehabilitation programs. This gives
members of these ancillary groups greater professional authority, creating the con-
ditions where they are able to reorganize their working relationships with

psychiatrists. At times, these collaborative efforts can be described as cooperation.
Alternatively, these once ancillary clinical occupational groups can thwart the
efforts of psychiatrists to diagnose and admit patients to the inpatient unit, causing
contention. In this article, I will illustrate these processes through a close reading of
two patients’ experiences in the psychiatric emergency department.
The argument that I present here claims that in order to understand how
psychiatry is practiced in settings where a variety of pressures such as social
service cuts, scarcit.

Scalable, rational charitable models for hospitalsDr. Anuja Joshi
This document discusses the changing nature of healthcare from a faith-based model to a system focused on profits and contracts. It argues that this shift has led to increased darkness, as some physicians and hospitals prioritize wealth generation over patient care. While medicine involves both art and science, it is practiced by imperfect humans. The document evaluates different healthcare delivery systems and their aims, noting that for-profit systems are most openly commercial but can potentially put profits over patient needs. It suggests some healthcare providers have adopted an unethical "ends justify the means" approach. Overall, the document analyzes factors contributing to less ethical practices in healthcare.

The Biopsychosocial Model 25 Years Later:
Principles, Practice, and Scientifi c Inquiry
ABSTRACT
The biopsychosocial model is both a philosophy of clinical care and a practical
clinical guide. Philosophically, it is a way of understanding how suffering, disease,
and illness are affected by multiple levels of organization, from the societal to the
molecular. At the practical level, it is a way of understanding the patient’s subjec-
tive experience as an essential contributor to accurate diagnosis, health outcomes,
and humane care. In this article, we defend the biopsychosocial model as a nec-
essary contribution to the scientifi c clinical method, while suggesting 3 clarifi ca-
tions: (1) the relationship between mental and physical aspects of health is com-
plex—subjective experience depends on but is not reducible to laws of physiology;
(2) models of circular causality must be tempered by linear approximations when
considering treatment options; and (3) promoting a more participatory clinician-
patient relationship is in keeping with current Western cultural tendencies, but may
not be universally accepted. We propose a biopsychosocial-oriented clinical prac-
tice whose pillars include (1) self-awareness; (2) active cultivation of trust; (3) an
emotional style characterized by empathic curiosity; (4) self-calibration as a way to
reduce bias; (5) educating the emotions to assist with diagnosis and forming thera-
peutic relationships; (6) using informed intuition; and (7) communicating clinical
evidence to foster dialogue, not just the mechanical application of protocol. In con-
clusion, the value of the biopsychosocial model has not been in the discovery of
new scientifi c laws, as the term “new paradigm” would suggest, but rather in guid-
ing parsimonious application of medical knowledge to the needs of each patient.

Kim Solez believes that as technology advances and diseases are eliminated, the role of physicians will change from healing the body to enhancing lives. Physicians will take on greater social responsibility for improving people physically, mentally, and spiritually. Medical school will also change to focus more on humanism beyond disease treatment and to educate both humans and machines. Doctors of the future will need to consider how to help transform society on a large scale through "medicine writ large."
Train doctors who work as a team, avoid becoming a passive doctor, a hospital passive; that they be self-taught and share in the remuneration of gratitude, managing to train an active doctor, which are the ones that any hospital seeks to have and better yet, train doctors who are safe in their training, not that they have never fallen, but that managed to get up and not at the expense of whatever -or whoever-, but with dignity, beings capable of generating synergy in a work group and integrating them as a team, these doctors are written and named as the first letter of the paragraph, a capital doctor.

Aspects of Chronic
Medical Conditions
Psychological Aspects of
Chronic Illness
¡ Psychological aspects of chronic illness are
commonly overlooked
¡ Most patients adjust well to the psychological
aspects of chronic illness
¡ However, adjustment can decrease when when
patients experience a decline in physical health
status and when patients experience stigma as a
result of:
¡ Limited independence
¡ Negative impact on daily routine
¡ Increase self-care demands
¡ Dynamic nature of life changes
Locus of Control &
Psychological Vulnerabilities
¡ Patients with chronic illness have to balance their
need to be in control of their lives with the need
to have significant others “take over” certain
aspects of their life/care at times
¡ Psychological difficulties may complicate the
management of a chronic medical condition
¡ Can make assessment and formulations complex
¡ Do psychological problems make us vulnerable to
chronic illness? Does chronic illness make us
vulnerable to experiencing psychological distress
that results in a psychological disorder?
Factors Impacting Chronic
Illness Management
¡ Information/Knowledge
¡ A patient’s access to information influences their help-seeking behaviors and is highly related to
a patient’s contact with health-service providers
¡ Psychophysiology
¡ Patients can experience deleterious effects as a result of the impact that illness-related stress
can have on their illness-related symptomatology (i.e., stress aggravates arthritic pain)
¡ Behavior Change
¡ A patient’s ability to modify their behavior can have significant consequences on the
management of their disease (e.g., quit smoking in cancer treatment or increased exercise in
Type 2 Diabetes)
¡ Social Support
¡ Social support can mediate a patient’s interaction with the health care system
¡ Somatization
¡ Physical symptoms that arise as a result of undiagnosed psychological problems or emotional
distress can make a illness presentation more complex

The Biopsychosocial Model 25 Years Later:
Principles, Practice, and Scientifi c Inquiry
ABSTRACT
The biopsychosocial model is both a philosophy of clinical care and a practical
clinical guide. Philosophically, it is a way of understanding how suffering, disease,
and illness are affected by multiple levels of organization, from the societal to the
molecular. At the practical level, it is a way of understanding the patient’s subjec-
tive experience as an essential contributor to accurate diagnosis, health outcomes,
and humane care. In this article, we defend the biopsychosocial model as a nec-
essary contribution to the scientifi c clinical method, while suggesting 3 clarifi ca-
tions: (1) the relationship between mental and physical aspects of health is com-
plex—subjective experience depends on but is not reducible to laws of physiology;
(2) models of circular causality must be tempered by linear approximations when
considering treatment options; and (3) promoting a more participatory clinician-
patient relationship is in keeping with current Western cultural tendencies, but may
not be universally accepted. We propose a biopsychosocial-oriented clinical prac-
tice whose pillars include (1) self-awareness; (2) active cultivation of trust; (3) an
emotional style characterized by empathic curiosity; (4) self-calibration as a way to
reduce bias; (5) educating the emotions to assist with diagnosis and forming thera-
peutic relationships; (6) using informed intuition; and (7) communicating clinical
evidence to foster dialogue, not just the mechanical application of protocol. In con-
clusion, the value of the biopsychosocial model has not been in the discovery of
new scientifi c laws, as the term “new paradigm” would suggest, but rather in guid-
ing parsimonious application of medical knowledge to the needs of each patient.

Kim Solez believes that as technology advances and diseases are eliminated, the role of physicians will change from healing the body to enhancing lives. Physicians will take on greater social responsibility for improving people physically, mentally, and spiritually. Medical school will also change to focus more on humanism beyond disease treatment and to educate both humans and machines. Doctors of the future will need to consider how to help transform society on a large scale through "medicine writ large."
Train doctors who work as a team, avoid becoming a passive doctor, a hospital passive; that they be self-taught and share in the remuneration of gratitude, managing to train an active doctor, which are the ones that any hospital seeks to have and better yet, train doctors who are safe in their training, not that they have never fallen, but that managed to get up and not at the expense of whatever -or whoever-, but with dignity, beings capable of generating synergy in a work group and integrating them as a team, these doctors are written and named as the first letter of the paragraph, a capital doctor.
Biopsychosocial Aspects of Chronic Medical Conditions ChantellPantoja184
Biopsychosocial
Aspects of Chronic
Medical Conditions
Psychological Aspects of
Chronic Illness
¡ Psychological aspects of chronic illness are
commonly overlooked
¡ Most patients adjust well to the psychological
aspects of chronic illness
¡ However, adjustment can decrease when when
patients experience a decline in physical health
status and when patients experience stigma as a
result of:
¡ Limited independence
¡ Negative impact on daily routine
¡ Increase self-care demands
¡ Dynamic nature of life changes
Locus of Control &
Psychological Vulnerabilities
¡ Patients with chronic illness have to balance their
need to be in control of their lives with the need
to have significant others “take over” certain
aspects of their life/care at times
¡ Psychological difficulties may complicate the
management of a chronic medical condition
¡ Can make assessment and formulations complex
¡ Do psychological problems make us vulnerable to
chronic illness? Does chronic illness make us
vulnerable to experiencing psychological distress
that results in a psychological disorder?
Factors Impacting Chronic
Illness Management
¡ Information/Knowledge
¡ A patient’s access to information influences their help-seeking behaviors and is highly related to
a patient’s contact with health-service providers
¡ Psychophysiology
¡ Patients can experience deleterious effects as a result of the impact that illness-related stress
can have on their illness-related symptomatology (i.e., stress aggravates arthritic pain)
¡ Behavior Change
¡ A patient’s ability to modify their behavior can have significant consequences on the
management of their disease (e.g., quit smoking in cancer treatment or increased exercise in
Type 2 Diabetes)
¡ Social Support
¡ Social support can mediate a patient’s interaction with the health care system
¡ Somatization
¡ Physical symptoms that arise as a result of undiagnosed psychological problems or emotional
distress can make a illness presentation more complex

¡ There is a HUGE variation in the SUBJECTIVE impact of chronic

¡ Illness representation
¡ The subjective experience of the illness determines a patients ability
to cope and manage the chronic medical condition. This affects:
¡ A patient’s reactions to their symptoms
¡ Self-care behaviors
¡ Changes in mood states
¡ Our job as providers is to help patients find the appropriate
framework for ascribing MEANING to their illness/symptoms
¡ We need to help patients understand and cope with their

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

15. The Narrative in the
Physiotherapy Interview
(Experience of Luz Adriana Varela Vázquez)
1. Did you visit a doctor before coming
here and did he/she speak about a
diagnosis…What do you think/feel is
happening to you?
15
10/05/2023
She reads the medical record before visiting the patient. Then she wants to know what the
patient knows about his/her illness. With this goal she asks three questions:
How patient understood about his/her
diagnosis or about explanation of other
health professionals. What are
believes/images of illness.
2. “Did you visit other health
professionals in rehab before me
as a OT/F/ST/?” “And how did
they treat you?
3. “What do you expect from me?”
Preconceived ideas of patients,
association in the memory, learning
associations, inner world of the patient.
Patient tells me his/her goal.
16. The Narrative in the
Physiotherapy Interview
(Experience of Luz Adriana Varela
Vázquez)
In this way Luz can
generate an
understanding of
her/his patient.
Then she’ll share her
objective with the
patient’s to reach an
agreement.

walking.
17. The Narrative in the Treatment of Physiotherapy
Therapist: How do you feel the
sponge?
How do you feel your head?
Patient:
“I couldn’t feel the difference
between the sponges, they are
the same!
“I feel as if my neck was a rock”
17
10/05/2023
When the body (neck) is tight, the
object of perception (sponge) is
hard.
While the patient tries to feel the
sponge with her body, the sponge
starts to feel softer, and the neck too!
The spontaneous language of the
patient shows his/her the inner
world.
18. What Key Actions Are There in a Narrative
Medicine?
Be ready to listen to understand (human and clinical/scientific listen)
Feel empathy (put yourself in the shoes of others)
Discover who we are and accept it
Make sense of the stories
Respect intimacy
Accompany people through illness
Remember storytelling: give the past a new meaning

Editor's Notes
Written by somebody The stories written in 1925–1926 and inspired by Bulgakov's experiences as a newly graduated young doctor in 1916-18, practicing in a small village hospital in Smolensk Governorate in revolutionary Russia. The stories initially appeared in In the past: the doctor had a slowly relationship with the patient, face a face, with time to talk with him/her.
Russian medical journals of the period and were later compiled by scholars into book form. In The Mind of a Mnemonist (1968), The mind of a mnemonist: A little book about a vast memory) (Luria studied Solomon Shereshevskii, a Russian journalist with a seemingly unlimited memory, sometimes referred to in contemporary literature as "flashbulb" memory, in part due to his fivefold synesthesia. In The Man with the Shattered World (1971) he documented the recovery under his treatment of the soldier Lev Zasetsky, who had suffered a brain wound in World War II.
a fascinating case study that illustrates the use of multiple levels of consciousness and meaning to access and therapeutically reframe traumatic memories that were the source of very severe phobias and depression.
Sacks died in 2015. All this S. are experience of doctors in interaction with patients. They described the illness in a context with the perception of the patient, his/her parents and the normal medical record or objective descriptions of signs and syntoms.

El género se refiere a los roles, las características y oportunidades definidos por la sociedad que se consideran apropiados para los hombres, las mujeres, los niños, las niñas y las personas con identidades no binarias.
