Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Japan has long endured a mental health crisis, with mental healthcare heavily underutilized and many individuals living undiagnosed. Stigma towards mental health and those who struggle with mental illness has played a key role in this crisis. The present study aimed to examine attitude change towards mental health using a psychoeducational intervention. Students at a Japanese university read one of three cultural letters (individualistic, collectivistic, and neutral), then rated their attitudes towards the mentally ill. Participants also rated how culturally congruent the letter they read was with Japanese culture. Results indicated a significant effect of the letters on authoritarian attitudes towards the mentally ill. Furthermore, the collectivistic letter was rated significantly more culturally congruent than the individualistic letter. An exploratory analysis of gender revealed that women were rated higher in benevolence attitudes both before and after reading the letter. These findings indicate that perhaps some domains of attitude towards mental health are malleable, and that dissemination of information about mental health could potentially lead to a reduction of stigma over time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a terrific book―moving, clear, and compassionate. It not only illustrates the way psychiatric illness is shaped by culture, but also suggests that social environments can be used to improve the course and outcome of the illness. Well worth reading." — T. M. Luhrmann, author of Of Two Minds: An Anthropologist looks at American Psychiatry Bethel House, located in a small fishing village in northern Japan, was founded in 1984 as an intentional community for people with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Using a unique, community approach to psychosocial recovery, Bethel House focuses as much on social integration as on therapeutic work. As a centerpiece of this approach, Bethel House started its own businesses in order to create employment and socialization opportunities for its residents and to change public attitudes toward the mentally ill, but also quite unintentionally provided a significant boost to the distressed local economy. Through its work programs, communal living, and close relationship between hospital and town, Bethel has been remarkably successful in carefully reintegrating its members into Japanese society. It has become known as a model alternative to long-term institutionalization. In A Disability of the Soul, Karen Nakamura explores how the members of this unique community struggle with their lives, their illnesses, and the meaning of community. Told through engaging historical narrative, insightful ethnographic vignettes, and compelling life stories, her account of Bethel House depicts its achievements and setbacks, its promises and limitations. A Disability of the Soul is a sensitive and multidimensional portrait of what it means to live with mental illness in contemporary Japan.

Download or read book Mental Health Challenges Facing Contemporary Japanese Society written by Yuko Kawanishi and published by Global Oriental. This book was released on 2009-07-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the profound question of mental malaise in its many forms in contemporary Japanese society, focusing on three main areas: work, family and youth. The purpose is to provide an analytical, critical account of the social psychological state of the Japanese today, as well as to present possible measures that could contribute to positive outcomes. Following the boom and bust years of the Japanese economy in the 1980s and 1990s, Japanese society was faced with the burden of rapid change and adjustment resulting in a significant increase in psychological and personality disorders at a level unknown in the past. These include karo-jisatsu (suicide by overwork), sekkusu-resu (sexless marriage), kateinairikon (in house divorce) and hikikomori (complete social withdrawal). This study will be widely welcomed by sociologists, psychologists and mental health professionals interested in the interconnectedness of culture and social structure, personality and psychopathology, and the historical development of these issues. It also offers valuable insight into questions relating to cross-cultural understanding.

Download or read book Unmet Need in Psychiatry written by Gavin Andrews and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-06-22 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few countries can provide adequate health services for all the mentally ill, yet none have developed a rational system to decide who should be treated. This innovative book considers ways to resolve this dilemma. The questions are clear: What should the criteria be for deployment of scarce treatment resources? How do we determine and apply such criteria? What are the ethical implications? In this pioneering work, an international team of eminent psychiatrists, epidemiologists, health administrators, economists and health planners examine these questions. This volume is divided into four parts: Part I. Unmet Need: Defining the Problem; Part II. Unmet Need: General Problems and Solutions; Part III. Unmet Need in People with Specific Disorders; and Part IV. Unmet Need: Specific Issues.

Download or read book Principles of Social Psychiatry written by Craig Morgan and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social psychiatry is concerned with the effects of the social environment on the mental health of the individual, and with the effects of the person with a mental disorder on his/her social environment. The field encompasses social interventions, prevention and the promotion of mental health. This new edition of Principles of Social Psychiatry provides a broad overview of current thinking in this expanding field and will be a source of ideas both in research and for the management of mental disorder. It opens by putting social psychiatry in perspective, within both psychiatry and the social sciences. From the patient's perspective, the outermost influence is the culture in which they live, followed by their neighbourhoods, workmates, and friends and family. The next section considers how we conceptualize the social world, from families through cultural identify and ethnicity to the wider social environment. The book reviews the social determinants and consequences of the major mental disorders before considering interventions and service delivery at various levels to mitigate these. It closes with a review of the social impact of mental illness around the world and a thoughtful essay by the editors on the current state of social psychiatry and where it is heading.
