Systemic thinking and values-based practice [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Values-based practice is a new approach to working with complex and conflicting values in mental health practice. Theoretically, it argues that many clinical and ethical dilemmas in psychiatry arise because of the different value perspectives taken by the players involved. By exploring the differences in value systems ‘held’ by each player, it may be possible to come to a richer consensus that can incorporate both similarities and differences. In particular, values-based practice suggests that, traditionally, the value perspective of the patient is often either not considered or is ignored, and that by giving i...

Interpersonal dynamics and multidisciplinary teamwork [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Analysing interpersonal dynamics is an approach through which the multidisciplinary team can develop a shared understanding of their patients. This empirically based method provides an insight into repeated patterns of dysfunctional behaviour, which not only have been evident in the past, but are currently having an impact on the patient’s relationships with caring staff. The technique is accessible to any team member with only minimal training required. It provides the team with a coherent map of the patient’s relationship patterns that underpins the formulation of an effective strategy for care. The multidisc...

Metamorphosis by Franz Kafka [Mindreadings]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This article examines the short story Metamorphosis by the enigmatic Czech writer Franz Kafka, whose work has been the subject of extensive critical discussion. His writings have been seen in the context of existentialism, Jewish mysticism and as a warning of the advent of totalitarianism. Kafka has attracted the attention of psychoanalysts and psychiatrists, who have maintained that his life and work manifest evidence of unresolved Oedipal issues and of schizoid personality. Metamorphosis is open to a multitude of interpretations, but a potentially fruitful approach is to see parallels between the predicament of the story...

Clinical implications of neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a disorder which can affect the central nervous system and result in a broad range of psychiatric syndromes such as psychosis, mood disorders, acute confusion and cognitive dysfunction. Despite the robust nomenclature of neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE), psychiatric syndromes in patients are often non-specific and may be secondary to concurrent non-SLE-related conditions and complications of medical therapies. Although the exact immunopathological mechanism for psychiatric presentation remains elusive, prompt exclusion of other factors contributing to the psychiatric symptoms coupled with ...

Article 2 of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the treatment of prisoners [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
People detained in prisons, psychiatric hospitals, police custody and immigration detention centres remain a cause of concern, particularly to professionals, politicians and the media. As the number of people detained by the state increases, Courts have been taking an increasing interest in cases in which individuals have died in state custody. Such cases are subsumed under Article 2 of the Human Rights Act 1998 – the right to life. Article 2 case law has elucidated key principles that can be applied in practice. Importantly, it imposes on states not only a negative duty not to take life intentionally or negligently,...

The challenges of managing self-harm effectively: INVITED COMMENTARY ON... SELF-HARM IN ADOLE SCENTS [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
This commentary discusses how much we appear to know about self-harm and the circumstances in which it may occur but how little we really know about what works in managing it. It reviews how suggestions for its management conflict with what we know about self-harm and the outcomes of young people. The challenge appears to be how better to identify those at risk of further self-harm and to train frontline staff in this, so that at-risk individuals may be referred to specialist services. Perhaps there is also a need to review the evidence for what actually works in reducing repetition of self-harm. (Source: Advances in Psychiatric Treatment)

Clinical significance of neurological abnormalities in psychosis [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The neurological deficits in sensory and motor function in schizophrenia have been described using a confusing variety of terms, reflecting their uncertain relevance and significance to psychosis. In this article we explore the nature of neurological abnormalities in psychosis, describe their assessment and suggest their potential relevance for clinician and patient. We propose that the assessment of neurological abnormalities and extrapyramidal side-effects should figure in the assessment of any patient with psychosis, particularly at illness onset. Furthermore, we suggest that neurological abnormalities can inform progno...

Puerperal psychosis: identifying and caring for women at risk [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Puerperal (postpartum) psychosis – the acute onset of a manic or psychotic episode shortly after childbirth – most commonly occurs in women with a bipolar disorder diathesis who have a vulnerability to a specific childbirth-related trigger. Women with bipolar disorder are at particularly high risk of puerperal psychosis, with a severe affective episode following between 25 and 50% of deliveries. Suicide is a leading cause of maternal death in the UK and it is clear that we must do more to identify and better manage women at high risk of illness related to childbirth. The clinical picture of puerperal psychosis ...

Letter from America: acute in-patient psychiatry bed shortages [Editorials]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The number of in-patient beds for psychiatric treatment in America has declined dramatically over the past 40 years. Public and private policies have encouraged an extremely short-term, crisis-stabilisation model of treatment. This is true on both general and subspecialty units. As a result, readmissions have increased, emergency rooms are crowded, and many patients end up homeless or incarcerated in the criminal justice system. These changes have created a public health crisis in America, and are the greatest challenges that American psychiatry faces today. (Source: Advances in Psychiatric Treatment)

Early-onset dementia [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Dementia is is stereotypically associated with older people. However, in a significant minority it can affect people in their 40s and 50s, or even younger. Currently there is a lack of awareness, even among healthcare professionals, and there is a dearth of appropriate services for such patients. Despite the attention given to this condition by National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence guidelines, provision of specialist early-onset dementia services in the UK remains patchy. Carers and patients often find themselves being passed ‘from pillar to post’ between psychiatry and neurology, and also betwe...

Hoarding behaviour: building up the 'R factor' [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Hoarding seems to be a non-specific symptom, as it has been associated with a wide range of psychiatric disorders. Validating hoarding as pathological is controversial and its nosological status remains unresolved. ‘Diogenes syndrome’ has been paradigmatic in this area, but its clinical use seems limited. Hoarding is not explicitly covered in either DSM–IV or ICD–10 and literature suggests that diagnosis of mental illness may consequently be missed in this population. In the context of these theoretical uncertainties, clinicians still need to accurately assess and treat patients who show hoarding be...

Clinical judgement and individual patients: INVITED COMMENTARY ON ... IN DEFENCE OF PROFESSIONAL JUDGEMENT [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Although in agreement with their conclusions about the importance of clinical judgement, this commentary criticises the way that Downie & Macnaughton defend it in their article. I argue that their defence is both overly limited in its account of the role of judgement and that it employs unnecessarily contentious arguments. I outline the ineliminable role that judgement plays in determining which general diagnostic concepts fit individual patients given their individuality and specificity.

In defence of professional judgement [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
A judgement may be defined as an assertion made with evidence or good reason in a context of uncertainty. In psychiatry the uncertainty is inherent in the professional context and the evidence derives from academic literature and scientific studies as they are applied to a specific patient. The nature of the uncertainty and the factors that should inform professional judgement are explored in this article. Professional judgement currently faces two serious challenges: an obsession with numbers, which comes from within medicine, and the ‘patient choice’ agenda, which is politically inspired and comes from outsid...

Why psychiatrists should watch films (or What has cinema ever done for psychiatry?) [Articles]Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Cinema is at once a powerful medium, art, entertainment, an industry and an instrument of social change; psychiatrists should neither ignore nor censor it. Representations of psychiatrists are mixed but psychiatric treatments are rarely portrayed positively. In this article, five rules of movie psychiatry are proposed, supported by over 370 films. Commercial and artistic pressures reduce verisimilitude in fictional and factual films, although many are useful to advance understanding of phenomenology, shared history and social contexts in psychiatry. Acknowledging some negative representations, three areas are explored wher...

The classification of depression has been debated for decades. The introduction of operational criteria and the category of major depression were significant advances in the 1970s. However, the validity of the major depression category is controversial. The article highlights the limitations of using severity criteria and cross-sectional evaluation to diagnose depression. It recommends the classic typologies (melancholia, dysthymia and adjustment disorder) for clinical presentations of depression, highlighting the need to use longitudinal clinical patterns and context for diagnosis. Major depression owes its success to its...

Alcohol policy varies in different jurisdictions and is subject to change. Understanding policy development requires an international perspective.

Around 7.1 million people in England drink hazardously or harmfully and a further 1.1 million are dependent on alcohol. Motivational interviewing is widely used to treat people with alcohol problems and is probably the best described example of a brief intervention. However, some recent trials have been disappointing. Specialised alcohol treatment services have also suffered from weakness in the evidence base. Investment in treating alcohol misuse has fallen far behind that for drug misuse.
