Psychiatric and Psychotherapeutic Literacy: Attitudes To, and Knowledge of, PsychotherapyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Lay people show a curious pattern on insight, ignorance and naivety with regard to the cause and cure of mental disorders. They appear to have a modestly realistic but somewhat naive view of the process and efficacy of psychotherapy. This may influence how they react to their own and others’ mental illness. It has clear implications for education in psychiatric literacy. (Source: International Journal of Social Psychiatry)

Exploring the Hypothesis of Ethnic Practice as Social Capital: Violence Among Asian/Pacific Islander Youth in HawaiiEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions: Results lead us to hypothesize that social capital that deliberately places individuals within their respective ethnic communities are risk-reducing, as are those that promote formal ethnic community structures. Those that formalize ethnic practice and social capital into commercial activities may be associated with higher risk of violence. Given the relatively small sample size and the exploratory approach for the present investigation, further research is needed to determine whether the findings can be replicated and to extend the findings of the present preliminary study.

Employment Status, Duration of Residence and Mental Health Among Skilled Migrants To New Zealand: Results of a Longitudinal StudyEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.

Conclusions: Between 1988 and 2004 research emanating from North American and European countries, together with biologically orientated research, were the most prevalent perspectives on schizophrenia.
