Anxiety Disorders and Phobias: A Cognitive Perspective

The problem of which cues, internal or external, permit a person to label and identify his own emotional state has been with us since the days that James (1890) first tendered his doctrine that \"the bodily changes follow directly the perception of the exciting fact, and that our feeling of the same changes as they occur is the emotion\" (p. 449). Since we are aware of a variety of feeling and emotion states, it should follow from James' proposition that the various emotions will be accompanied by a variety of differentiable bodily states. Following James' pronouncement, a formidable number of studies were undertaken in search of the physiological differentiators of the emotions. The results, in these early days, were almost uniformly negative. All of the emotional states experi-

Sensory modulation in Acute Mental Health wards: a qualitative study of staff and service user perspectives

The notion of recovery from mental illness has become a signi cant force in mental health policy, practice and literature. As a process, recovery can been described as the lived experience of personal growth and search for meaning after the onset of mental illness. The following phenomenological... Read more

Recovery As the Re-fabrication of Everyday Life: Exploring the Meaning of Doing for People Recovering From Mental Illness

Background: There is growing evidence that people with serious mental illness have impaired capacity for processing sensory inputs which affects daily occupation. Although this is known, research r...

Experiences of sensory input in daily occupations for people with serious mental illness.

Since the 1990s, New Zealand mental health policy has shifted from a focus on the management of symptoms and risk to the recovery of psychological, social, cultural, and physical well-being. Despite a vision for recovery-oriented services being integrated within national and regional policies, there is growing concern that barriers to recovery-oriented service provision continue to exist. Such barriers include the attitudes, skills, and knowledge of front-line staff, as well as system issues. This study explored the experience and meaning of recovery-oriented practice for 10 nurses working in an acute inpatient mental health service. A phenomenological and hermeneutic lens was used to explore the nurses' experience of working in a recovery-focused manner alongside service users. Stories of practice were collected from participants through open-ended conversational interviews. Transcribed narratives were analysed to explore taken-for-granted aspects of working in acute mental health care and to uncover the meaning of being recovery-oriented in this setting. Findings revealed that although the experience and meaning of recovery-focused care varied among nurses, there were common elements in the practice accounts. The accounts highlighted the nurses' role in creating different therapeutic spaces to promote safety, relational commitment, and healing for service users. However, the nurses faced challenges to recovery-oriented care within the team hierarchical culture and the broader service systems. The nurses were, at times, fearless in advocating for service users and recognized that this was essential for developing recovery-focused services. The findings have implications for nursing practice, as well as training and service development.

The experience and meaning of recovery-oriented practice for nurses working in acute mental health services

In New Zealand, the Intellectual Disability (Compulsory Care and Rehabilitation) Act 2003 provides diversion for persons with an intellectual disability who have been charged with, or convicted of, a criminal offence. This unique Act moves the responsibility for such ‘care recipients’ from the criminal justice system to a disability sector that values a social model of disability and philosophies of autonomy, choice and normalisation. This research identified dilemmas faced by care managers legally responsible for care recipients. Care managers experienced: tension between imperatives of risk management, rehabilitation and human rights; role ambiguity between ‘custodian’ or ‘therapist’; philosophical incongruity within their services; and ethical dilemmas over decisions to lengthen care orders. The changing care recipient population has intensified these dilemmas: services must now adapt to the needs of young, street-wise people with alcohol and drug problems and histories of criminal behaviour. The artic...
