Abstract
AbstractThis chapter outlines how the contributions to this Part illustrate the role of a culturally enriched model of values-based practice in linking science with people. Chapters 25, “A Cross-Cultural Values-Based Approach to the Diagnosis and Treatment of Dissociative (Conversion) Disorders,” 26, “Treatment of Social Anxiety Disorder or Neuroenhancement of Socially Accepted Modesty? The Case of Ms. Suzuki,” 27, “Nontraditional Religion, Hyper-religiosity, and Psychopathology: The Story of Ivan from Bulgaria,” and 28, “Journey into Genes: Cultural Values and the (Near) Future of Genetic Counselling in Mental Health” explore the three principles of values-based practice defining its relationship with evidence-based practice. Chapters 29, “Policy-Making Indabas to Prevent “Not Listening”: An Added Recommendation from the Life Esidimeni Tragedy,” 30, “Covert Treatment in a Cross-Cultural Setting,” and 31, “Discouragement Towards Seeking Health Care of Older People in Rural China: The Influence of Culture and Structural Constraints” then give examples of the rich resources of the wider values tool kit for linking science with people (the African indaba, transcultural ethics, and anthropology). The concluding chapter, the autobiographical chapter 32, “Discovering Myself, a Journey of Rediscovery,” illustrates the role of cultural values (particularly of the positive StAR values) in recovery. A cross-cutting theme of the contributions to this Part is the importance of the cultural and other values impacting on psychiatric diagnostic assessment in supporting best practice in person-centered mental health care.
Highlights
That values-based practice links science with people is said, but as the chapters in this Part illustrate, it is often far from easy to put into practice
We find that consistent with the Science Driven Principle, such answers as are provided by these advances come at the cost of a whole series of further questions arising from the new choices for patients that come with them
28, “Journey into Genes: Cultural Values and the (Near) Future of Genetic Counselling in Mental Health”), in the resources of the values tool kit, and, above all, in the importance of looking at strengths (StAR values) as well as problems in any approach to diagnostic assessment that is pertinent to the demands of recovery practice
Summary
The first four chapters in this Part between them explore the three principles of values-based practice defining its partnership with evidence-based practice in linking science with people. The editors with input from the contributors to Part IV
