  • Soteria – a Treatment Model and a Reform Movement in Psychiatry
    1 Soteria – a treatment model and a reform movement in psychiatry By Volkmar Aderhold - Translated by Peter Stastny - September 2006 In honour of Loren Mosher “Everyone is much more simply human than otherwise” H.S.Sullivan - The interpersonal theory of psychiatry Introduction The Soteria treatment model was originated by the American Psychiatrist Loren Mosher during the early 1970s. As director of the Schizophrenia Branch at the National Institute Mental Health (1968-1980) he developed two federally-funded research demonstration projects: “Soteria” (1971-1983) and “Emanon” (1974-1980). The aim was to investigate the effects of a supportive milieu therapy (“being with”) for individuals diagnosed with “schizophrenia” (DSM-II), who were experiencing acute psychotic episodes for the first or second time in their lives. In these programs neuroleptics were either completely avoided, or given in low dosages only. Since the founding of Soteria Bern by Luc Ciompi in 1984, similar programs have been developed in Europe, mostly in the form of residential facilities situated in proximity to psychiatric hospitals. Initiatives to promote such programs are currently active around the world. Due to the expectation that neuroleptics would be used selectively, in acute as well as long-term situations, the program’s challenge to the medical model of “schizophrenia,” and the wide acceptance of inpatient treatment provided by mental health professionals (Mosher & Hendrix 2004, p. 282), the Soteria model has been consistently marginalized in psychiatric discourse and largely ignored in the scientific literature. On the other hand, during the past twenty years the Soteria approach has become quite influential within the debate about the optimal therapeutic methods and the development of state-of-the-art acute inpatient services.

Reviewing literature on the paradigms of expressive arts therapy, critical race feminism, and the medical model of mental health, the author argues how systemic oppression in such forms as racism, classism and ableism contribute to the issues of mental health accessibility for individuals who possess historically marginalized identities in the United States.

  • Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness
    ABOLISHING THE CONCEPT OF MENTAL ILLNESS In Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness: Rethinking the Nature of Our Woes, Richard Hallam takes aim at the very concept of mental illness, and explores new ways of thinking about and responding to psychological distress. Though the concept of mental illness has infiltrated everyday language, academic research, and public policy-making, there is very little evidence that woes are caused by somatic dysfunction. This timely book rebuts arguments put forward to defend the illness myth and traces historical sources of the mind/body debate. The author presents a balanced overview of the past utility and current disadvantages of employing a medical illness metaphor against the backdrop of current UK clinical practice. Insightful and easy to read, Abolishing the Concept of Mental Illness will appeal to all professionals and academics working in clinical psychology, as well as psychotherapists and other mental health practitioners. Richard Hallam worked as a clinical psychologist, researcher, and lecturer until 2006, mainly in the National Health Service and at University College London and the University of East London. Since then he has worked independently as a writer, researcher, and therapist.

  • COVID-19 and HIV: 1 MOMENT 2 EPIDEMICS 3 OPPORTUNITIES How to Seize the Moment to Learn, Leverage and Build a New Way Forward for Everyone’S Health and Rights
    UNAIDS | 2020 COVID-19 AND HIV: 1 MOMENT 2 EPIDEMICS 3 OPPORTUNITIES How to seize the moment to learn, leverage and build a new way forward for everyone’s health and rights Contents 2 Foreword 3 Key messages 4 Introduction 6 Learning from the HIV response to effectively address COVID-19 14 Leveraging the HIV infrastructure to strengthen, accelerate and sustain responses to COVID-19 19 Reimagining systems for health 25 Key recommendations for the COVID-19 response 27 References Foreword The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the inadequacy of investments in public health, the persistence of profound economic and social inequalities and the fragility of many key global systems and approaches. Given the epic dimensions of the emergency, the world needs unity and solidarity—led by a large-scale, coordinated and comprehensive health response, and a focus on the needs of developing countries. Our decades-long fight against HIV offers essential lessons. This new report by UNAIDS examines how the experience of tackling HIV can help inform and guide effective, efficient, people-centred and sustainable COVID-19 responses. In fighting HIV, the world was confronted with a new, serious and multifaceted health crisis. Successful international efforts were rooted in a focus on innovation, respect for human rights and gender equality, community-based solutions and a commitment to leave no one behind. Decades of investment in the HIV response have created platforms that are proving useful in battling COVID-19—just as they were in responding to the 2014–2015 Ebola outbreak in western and central Africa. By being smart and strategic, we can leverage the HIV infrastructure to accelerate COVID-19 responses.

  • Mark Ragins, M.D
    Recovery: Changing From A Medical Model To A Psychosocial Rehabilitation Mode by Mark Ragins, M.D. Ever since Kraeplin defined schizophrenia, or dementia praecox, 100 vears ago, as a chronic, unremitting, gradually deteriorating condition, it has been difficult to talk credibly about or work towards recovery with severe mental illness. The relationship between treatment professionals, patients and their families has frequently been frustrating, unsatisfying, and noncollaborative often to the point of coercion. Clients and families are often waiting for their illnesses to go away, or be cured, in order to go on with their lives and are angry at professionals for not helping them, or doing anything for them, since their lives are not improving at all. At present, most people on all sides have abandoned the process entirely out of despair. Very few psychiatrists treat the chronically mentally ill and increasing numbers of patients are described as "treatment resistant" and families are "burned out" and disengaged. The result is the abandonment, neglect and deterioration we see all around us. All this hopelessness exists despite clear evidence of the growing efficacy of our treatments, and more benign outcomes than traditionally thought. I would argue that the problem may be as much in our conceptual model of treatment and recovery as in the inherent nature of the conditions. Schizophrenics in third world countries are regularly reported to have better outcomes than here. Also people with schizophrenia who explain their conditions spiritually, instead of medically, apparently fare better. The medical model tends to define recovery in negative terms. Symptoms and complaints need to be eliminated.

  • Victor Barbetti University of Pittsburgh
    Classification and the Treatment of the Patient Victor Barbetti University of Pittsburgh If one thinks about what is the case and what is not the case seriously, intensely, and long enough, one seems either to drive oneself insane or to come to the conclusion that almost everyone else is or that we all are. R.D. Laing, The Facts of Life We are all born mad. Some remain so. Estragon in Samuel Beckett's Waiting for Godot The Rise of the DSM In today's therapeutic settings the terms "diagnosis" and "treatment" are virtually inseparable. In clinical settings it has become quite popular to speak of the diagnosis as "driving the treatment plan," or of the caregiver "providing a proven treatment pathway" for the patient who suffers from a mental illness. But the link between diagnosis and clinical treatment has not always enjoyed such a prominent position. Our own classification system, or nosology, emerged separately from the work of clinicians within the therapeutic framework, and it even predated Freud's publications which first outlined the methods of psychoanalysis by over a half a century. In the United States the need to collect statistical information for the census was the impetus behind gathering information on the prevalence of mental disorders. Obviously a facile task in its beginning, for the 1840 census consisted of exactly one category of mental illness: insanity. The number of mental illness categories leaped to seven by the 1880 census. In 1917 the Bureau of the Census began employing the efforts of the American Medico-Psychological Association (whose name changed to the American Psychiatric Association shortly thereafter) and charged the Association with the task of developing a nationally acceptable psychiatric nomenclature which would be included in the American Medical Association system of classification (DSM-IV, p.

Describe briefly the specific aims of your project, indicating major changes in direction from the original aims: The basic long term aims of the Soteria Project were formulated in 1969-70 during the writing of the original grant proposal that was funded beginning early in 1971. We set out to establish an experimental non-hospital residential setting to treat persons recently diagnosed as schizophrenic. Only young unmarried schizophrenics were selected because the clinical literature indicated that this group was at high risk for the development of chronicity. We were particularly interested in preventing the development of long term disability. In order to provide a larger sample and more valid and reliable information as to the robustness of the experimental treatment program, a second residential treatment program (Emanon) modelled after the first (Soteria) was established in another community.

  • The Return of the Medical Model: Disease and the Meaning of Imprisonment from John Howard to Brown V
    \\jciprod01\productn\H\HLC\48-1\HLC108.txt unknown Seq: 1 1-MAR-13 15:09 The Return of the Medical Model: Disease and the Meaning of Imprisonment from John Howard to Brown v. Plata Jonathan Simon1 INTRODUCTION: MEDICAL MODELS OF THE PRISON Forty years after “the medical model” — as the rehabilitative-oriented penology that dominated American correctional systems from World War II until the 1970s was widely known — began to be abandoned, Brown v. Plata2 suggests the imminent return of medicine and the problem of disease to our public imagination of the prison and our constitutional understanding of humane punishment. With its shocking portraits of prisoners afflicted with complex chronic mental and physical illnesses largely abandoned by the modern state to a chaos more reminiscent of medieval jails than modern prisons, Plata depicts a correctional system that has drifted far indeed from the old correctional medical model with its aspiration to scientifically tested penal treatments. But in Plata’s mandate that California significantly reduce its prison population in order to implement sweeping reforms in its delivery of health care, along with its exposure of the deep hold that chronic illness (both mental and physical) has on prison populations, we can forecast the emergence of a new medical model. Indeed, the historical analysis offered in this Article suggests that Plata signals the rejoining of a constitutional link (in both senses of the term) between corrections and medicine that was forged more than two centuries ago over the problem of “jail disease” — assumed to be what we now know as typhus — that regularly killed prisoners at the end of the eighteenth cen- tury.
