By Trialogue, I mean Trialogue events like the Psychosis Seminar or the Borderline Trialogue in the field of social psychiatry.
How would you theoretically underpin the Trialogue? Which theories would you use?
And specifically, from the perspective of Clinical Social Work: with which theories would you connect the Trialogue?
Thanks a lot!
Relevant answer
Answer
The Trialogue approach in social psychiatry can be theoretically underpinned by various theories that emphasize community engagement, empowerment, and collaborative learning. Social constructionism, participatory action research, and recovery-oriented models are relevant frameworks.
In Clinical Social Work, connect the Trialogue to ecological systems theory, emphasizing the interplay between individuals, communities, and institutions. Incorporate strengths-based perspectives and person-in-environment theories to enhance understanding and intervention.

The issue of success and what is behind it as the very definition of is something that has been debated since the advent of man. If we approach the subject from a monetary view most scholars probably agree that the best predictors of success if we think in terms of hierarchies, whether it is a dominance or competence hierarchy , depending on which perspective you adopt is general cognitive ability and conscientiousness. Something I noted is that most researchers, especially psychologists underestimate the sociocultural aspects.
My question is that if you were to create a model, predicting success, which factors would you include? Can gender be a predictor? Race? Can we also approach the subject from a social constructionist standpoint? Perhaps biology? Would you look at the individual as an idiosyncratic being or would you expand your scope also to encompass culture and institutions?
What are your thoughts?
Best wishes Henrik

I fully agree and to rephrase the question to encompass Russia is perfectly fine. So you think the issue of which structure we are born into matters more than the individual him or her self? Do you believe our reality is socially constructed? Interesting. You touched on the issue of strata and stratification, Perhaps being born into the right family can compensate for the lack of cognitive ability and conscientiousness .

There are two theories that are quite similar in nature, but different in substance, The theory of Mind and the theory of Mentaliz(S)ation, sorry, Im allergic to American spelling...pls dont kill me now :-) My understanding of them is this "Both of these concepts, mentalization and the theory of mind, describes processes that are metacognitive in their nature . Mentalization mainly concerns the reflection of affective or emotional mental states. In contrast however the, theory of mind focuses on things epistemic in nature such as beliefs, intentions and persuasions. My idea is that these two theories by them self are incomplete but combining elements of both, gives us a clearer understanding. Cognition and affect can't in my view be separated, they are both part of us as human beings and also a part of other animals. What are your thoughts? Am I wrong or right? I can stand criticism so bring it on...

Dear Henrik G.S. Arvidsson I dont agree with you that mentalization and the theory of mind are incomplete, I would rather say they are vague and trying to beat about the bush. However, I agree with you that both facets; physical and non-physical go side by side as the two sides of the river, they are two different identities, yet essential and part of the same one entity the river. I think to understand mind we have to answer following questions:-
1. What are numerous non-physical entities, dimensions, constructs & elements.
2. What is the hierarchical / Interrelationship model.
3. How does theses non-physical entities function individually.
4. How does Multiple simultaneous occurrences and their effects occur.
5 What is the trans-formative phenomenon of mind and how it occurs.
6. What can be a perceived Mind Model.

Answer
I agree that there is a social agenda component. One of the goals of effective treatment of severe and persistent mental illness would be to prevent the "downward drift" seen in patients’ socio-economic condition. In a related situation, in advocacy we are often using economic data about days missed at work and lost productivity to try and justify the needed investment in preventing and treating severe and persistent mental illness.

Social Psychiatry has been a key approach in psychiatry for many decades, straddling social aspects of psychiatry, public health and epidemiology, and such fields as medical/health anthropology and sociology. Now we need to update our definition of this important field with a 21st century definition. How is Social Psychiatry different from and unique in comparison to the already well-established Cultural Psychiatry and the new Global Mental Health Movement?

Regarding Ternyik's comments: " Here seems to be a future field of social psychiatry, concerning internal attitudes (choice) and external conditions (chance), i.e. the feeling, mood or emotion of unfreedom seems to trigger mental illness, if we humans cannot mobilize our resistance resources against experienced stress stimuli. " .
i would propose the attachments as a mechanism for support of Stephen's comments. Attachment 1: This illustrates the affect of the human's mental "triggers" which have been investigated and quantified by many other research organizations such as the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy (intro to be found at https://beckinstitute.org).
Attachment 2: The human may be viewed "crudely" as a electro-mechanical composite system exhibiting "motion and emotion" . This journey starts at the
beginning of life when the child is in the womb of the mother. As such all of life's
journey begins at "its" birth. As such it is important to examine the life journey from it's beginning to it's end-- life's journey illustrate via it's internal and external
vibrations.

Does anyone have research on the theory that stigmatizing behaviour towards individuals with schizophrenia has a higher preference when shown by the older generation because of the lack of knowledge and understanding of the condition?
Relevant answer
Dear Louise,
Our papers "Impact of gender and age on attitudes towards mental illness in Sweden. ....." shows that you become more open-minded with increasing age; females are more open-minded than men but they also fear more. There is a qualitative part in our paper where people freely commented on this issue, some persons completely lack any understanding while others - especially those who came in contact with people suffering from mental illness developed a deep understanding of the issue. The importance of contact we also elaborate in our paper: Student nurses and the general population in Sweden: Trends in attitudes towards mental illness. We also elaborated the stigma  in other papers such as: Swedish attitudes towards persons with mental illness. The stigma of suffering from epilepsy and sterilized or castrated is touched upon in the context of vasectomy in a paper of mine. Sorry this was not meant as self-promotion; mental illness along with other less understood illnesses have been mystified  but with more effective drugs and with better education there is hope for a future better understanding of these topics.

Recently I am trying to figure out the cultural differences of children's social interaction, especially at the behavioral level. Among the experimental videos of U.S. and Chinese American child play I have watched, I found it hard to locate those differences. Is there anyone with any ideas or thoughts on this issue? Thanks!

Answer
I lived in Mexico for many years and can say with certainty that Mexican children of middle and more so upper-middle class (and who are not those who move to US) are quiet and reserved even in play, especially the girls, the boys not so when involved in structured sports. With adults, they are extremely polite and do not speak out  of turn or talk back.
With adolescents, there is that "generation gap" to use the common term, because parental relationships are based on a structured, authoritative interaction, unlike the democratic parenting of US parents. For instance, if a parents says be  home at 8, the response is yes, father/mother and not, oh , but ----- back and forth til parent says ok but its 10 pm sharp-- there is always negotiation.
I also have been involved in comparative studies with totally different observations of Mexican children. Lastly, I was a Mexican child before moving to US and my family was alone in this move so I have many many cousins and friends and often go back. 
Mexican children, like children (and all people) in the US exhibit great difference across social class and with all due respect, those conclusions/descriptions of Mexican children "of every social class," are not accurate.

I'm working on research using a secondary data base of an epidemiological survey, and the ethics committee of my institution requires me to have an approval for publishing the final report, in spite of being a co-author of the primary investigation and having the institutional authorization for the use of the above mentioned base. Is this correct?
Relevant answer
Answer
As long as you properly source the database and explain the context of why the database is important and how it would be used. If everything is clearly explained and credited, there should not be an ethical issue, If the database is copyrighted then contacting the copyright holder and explaining how and what will be used plus meeting any reequirements they have for its use then again there should be no ethical issue,

The assessment needs to be applied as part of a multi-center study at baseline and 18-months follow-up; it will be part of a larger battery. Therefore, about 10 minutes of time for assessment are the limit. Thanks for your suggestions.
