Psychological Therapies and Non-Suicidal Self Injury in LGBTIQ in Accident and Emergency Departments in the UK: A scoping review

This is an Accepted Manuscript of an article published by Taylor & Francis in International Review of Psychiatry on 25/08/2022, available online: https://doi.org/10.1080/09540261.2022.2108313Background: To identify psychological interventions that improve outcomes for those who overdose, especially amongst Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex and Questioning populations. Objective: To recognise and assess the results from all studies including randomised control trials that have studied the efficiency of psychiatric and psychological assessment of people who have depression that undergo Non-Suicidal Self Injury (NSSI) by self-poisoning, presenting to UK A & E Departments Method: A scoping review of all studies including randomised controlled trials of psychiatric and psychological therapy treatments. Studies were selected according to types of engagement and intervention received. All studies including Randomised Controlled Trials (RCTs) available in databases since 1998 in the Willey version of the Cochrane controlled trials register in 1998 till 2021, Psych INFO, Medline, Google Scholar and from manually searching of journals were included. Studies which included information on repetition of NSSI behaviour were also included. Altogether this amounts to 3,900 randomised study participants with outcome data. Results: 7 trials reported repetition of NSSI as an outcome measure which were classified into 4 categories. Problem solving therapy (PST) is indicated as a promising therapy and has shown to significantly reduce repetition in participants who NSSI by overdosing than patients in the control treatment groups consisting of standard after care. Conclusion: The data shows that Manualised Cognitive Therapy (MACT) psychological intervention was more effective than TAU after care. However, these differences are not statistically significant with p = 0.15; CI 0.61, 1.0 which crosses the line of no effect. And Psychodynamic Interpersonal Therapy (PIT) is more effective than standard treatment. Despite being only one study in this subgroup the analysis shows a statistically Significance with p = 0.009, CI0.08; 0.

"Otherness", otherism, discrimination, and health inequalities: entrenched challenges for modern psychiatric disciplines

Identity is a complex concept that can be informed by various factors, involving biological, psychological, experiential, and social influences. Specifically, one’s social identity refers to the ways in which individuals can adopt attributes from established collective categories, like cultural identities, ethnic identities, gender identities, and class identities, amongst others. Social identity can encompass unique and diverse interactions at an individual level, known as micro-identities, that may be selectively expressed, hidden, or downplayed, contingent on distinct sociocultural settings. However, the formation of social identity is recurrently defined in opposition to perceptions of the Other, which can entail adverse paradigms of marginalisation, stigma, and discrimination. Although this theory of Otherness has been developed across different fields, particularly sociology, it may be important in psychiatric contexts as it can engender inherent risk factors and mental health inequalities. Consequently, this paper seeks to bring attention towards these issues, exploring the construction of Otherness and its detrimental outcomes for psychiatry, such as systemic discrimination and disparities in therapeutic support, alongside recommended initiatives to mitigate against the effects of Otherness. This may require multifactorial approaches that include cultural competency training, interventions informed by micro-identities and intersectionality, patient advocacy, and structural changes to mental health policy

Lord Northcliffe : a memoir

This memoir of Lord Northcliffe (Alfred Harmsworth) was written by his friend Max Pemberton, and so reveals quite a lot about Northcliffe's personal life in addition to his professional life. Northcliffe became interested in journalism as a young man, and later bought several newspapers, not the least of which were the Daily Mail and The Times. So successful was Northcliffe that he earned himself the reputation of "The Father of Modern Journalism". (Business Hall of Fame - Newfoundland & Labrador. Junior Achievement Canada, n.d. Web. 19 Jul. 2011.) Chapter nine (p. 118-124) explains how Lords Northcliffe and Rothmere recognized the necessity for a reliable source of paper, and so in 1907 the two men established a paper mill called the Anglo-Newfoundland Development Company at Grand Falls, Newfoundland
