African Personhood, Humanism, and Critical Sankofaism: The Case of Male Suicide in Ghana
Authors: Kong Camillia 
Published: December 2020

AbstractSuicide in Ghana is criminalised and those who survive suicide attempts are subject to significant social condemnation. Paradoxically, studies show that male suicide is often driven by individuals’ strong sense of responsibility to meet social norms and expectations around gender as well as the internalisation of societal views that death would be preferable to shame and disgrace. This contradiction prompts a critical re-examination of the communitarian tradition of African personhood which posits an intimate link between the individual attainment of socially affirmed roles and the status of personhood. Through an analysis of the Akan concept of critical sankofaism I suggest that African approaches to suicide may draw upon important adaptive, critical resources internal to African cultural values, thus highlighting the progressive potential of the African tradition. I show specifically how male gender norms and societal responses to suicide attempts distort core humanistic values at the heart of African communitarian personhood.
Spiritual, Religious and Ethical Values in a Suicidal Individual
Authors: Lopes Ana Cristina , Correia Diogo Telles 
Published: December 2020

AbstractReligious and spiritual experiences can appear in mental health practice as far as they often structure what aspects of psychopathological phenomena are present, sometimes making it difficult to determine whether some experiences should be classified as symptoms of a psychiatric disorder or crises within spiritual life.We present a clinical vignette of a 62-year-old sacristan who was admitted to the Psychiatric Emergency Room for suicidal thoughts in the context of physical sequelae of a cardiac episode. He confessed that, in the process of coping with his illness, he had a distressing experience of guilt and of losing his religious faith and shared the intention to take his own life by hanging himself.Themes that emerge in the discussion include issues related to the boundaries of psychiatric diagnosis, the spiritual dimension of mental health and the values that underlie clinical decision-making regarding a suicidal individual.Incorporating religious and spiritual perspectives in the clinical assessment of patients is essential to understand individual’s framework of cultural values and social attitudes on disease.
Cultural Values, Religion and Psychosis: Five Short Stories
Authors: Wong Michael TH , Wilson Fiona , Davidson Dennisa , Hick Caitlin , Howie Andrew 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe impact of cultural values and religion on the experience, expression and perception of psychosis and serious mental illness is examined through five case narratives that involve patients of diverse illness experience and personal, cultural, religious and spiritual backgrounds. A recurrent theme among these five case narratives is that in all these respects, there is a complex interplay of values between Anglo-European religion, Māori spirituality and secular psychiatry. Within this clinical context, the health and well-being of patients living with psychosis and serious mental illness are more than the control of symptoms and behaviour and instead involves a perspective of meaning and significance which impacts on how patients recover their identity, roles, capacity and relationships.
Linking Science with People: An Introduction to Part IV, Science
Authors: Fulford Bill 
Published: December 2020

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.
Non-traditional Religion, Hyper-Religiosity and Psychopathology: The Story of Ivan from Bulgaria
Authors: Mitrev I. , Mantarkov M. Y. 
Published: December 2020

AbstractWe present the story of a young Bulgarian man, who converted to Orthodox Judaism, a religious denomination highly unusual in his country of birth. He has adhered rigorously to religious rules; he has spent most of his time reading religious texts and watching religious videos on the internet. He has not socialized with anyone other than his parents outside his religion. He refuses to study and work, and his only wish is to go to Israel and study Judaism there living on donations. The diagnostic judgments of a number of psychiatrists and a clinical psychologist ranged from “an absence of mental disorder” to “Paranoid schizophrenia.” Diagnostic differences could be attributed to cultural factors and the influence of value judgments in diagnostic assessments.
Antonella: ‘A Stranger in the Family’—A Case Study of Eating Disorders Across Cultures
Authors: Di Nicola Vincenzo 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe story of Antonella illustrates the way in which cultural and other values impact on the presentation and treatment of eating disorders. Displaced from her European home culture to live in Canada, Antonella presents with an eating disorder and a fluctuating tableau of anxiety and mood symptoms linked to her lack of a sense of identity. These arose against a background of her adoption as a foundling child in Italy and her attachment problems with her adoptive family generating chronically unfixed and unstable identities, resulting in her cross-cultural marriage as both flight and refuge followed by intense conflicts. Her predicament is resolved only when after an extended period in cultural family therapy she establishes a deep cross-species identification by becoming a breeder of husky dogs. The wider implications of Antonella’s story for understanding the relationship between cultural values and mental health are briefly considered.
Values-Based Practice When Engaging with Voice-Hearers
Authors: Austin Rosalind 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis chapter explores the values issues arising in voice-hearing through the resources of a new skills-based approach to working with values called values-based practice. The chapter is focused on the experiences of two voice-hearers, Paul and Mary, so as to highlight the diversity of ways that people experience voice-hearing, and how a correspondingly nuanced way of supporting voice-hearers is needed. It employs an inclusive definition of values covering anything that matters or is important to the person concerned. The chapter demonstrates that values-based practice in voice-hearing supports shared decision-making when working with values challenges in health care. Both Paul’s and Mary’s stories offer illustrations of the complex and sometimes conflicting values associated with voice-hearing.
Dharma Therapy: A Buddhist Counselling Approach to Acknowledging and Enhancing Perspectives, Attitudes and Values
Authors: Hung Sik Hin , Wa Jennifer Yim Shui 
Published: December 2020

AbstractIn the modern world, psychological problems like anxiety and depression are common phenomena in society. Dharma therapy is a Buddhist teaching-based therapeutic intervention which utilizes the Buddhist model of ending suffering to help clients to deal with psychological issues. In many cases, it has been shown to be effective. The present case study illustrates how the client, Mr. Peter Chan, who was suffering from anxiety, benefited from going through the intervention of Dharma Therapy. The article will describe what is Dharma Therapy, Mr. Chan’s psychological issues and how the seven steps of Dharma Therapy helped Mr. Chan to deal with his sufferings. Psychological tests administered before and after the therapeutic intervention showed improvement in all aspects of anxiety.
Know Thyself: Jane Discovers the Value of Her Depression
Authors: Browne Tamara Kayali 
Published: December 2020

AbstractWestern culture tends to view depression more often than not as something to be avoided and eradicated. Yet there are individuals who have been through the journey of depression, diagnosis and treatment who challenge this view. In what follows, Jane recounts her story in which depression becomes a catalyst for understanding herself and her past. The insight she gained, in turn, led to self-growth—all of which she would not have gained had she not become depressed. Jane’s story also emphasises the importance of looking to the context of one’s depression—a view which presents a challenge to the current focus on the symptomatology of depression in medical manuals such as the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Jane felt that understanding the context in which her depression arose, which she achieved through talking therapy, was key to her recovery. Jane shows us what we potentially lose with our current focus, and the value that may actually be gained from the journey into and out of depression.
The Role of Culture, Values and Trauma in Shaping Abnormal Bodily Experience in Migrants
Authors: Aragona Massimiliano 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe way somatization is expressed—including the actual somatoform symptoms experienced—varies in different persons and in different cultures. Traumatic experiences are intertwined with cultural and social values in shaping the resulting psychopathological phenomena, including bodily experiences. Four ideal-typical cases are presented to show the different levels involved. The effects of trauma, culture and values may be pathofacilitating (creating a social context which is necessary for the experience to take place), pathogenetic (taking a causal role in the onset of the psychopathological reaction), pathoplastic (shaping the form such a psychopathological reaction takes) or pathointerpretive (different interpretation of the same symptoms depending on the patient’s beliefs). While the roles of trauma and culture were already well recognized in previous accounts, this chapter adds an exploration of the importance of values, including cultural values, in the aetiology, presentation and management of somatization disorders. As a consequence, the therapeutic approach has to be adjusted depending on the way these factors intervene in the patient’s construction of mental distress.

Published: December 2020

AbstractThe online platform is a platform of the future, both in the world and in Bosnia and Herzegovina. “The World Without a Label” is the first counseling center of this kind in BiH, because it brings together experts from behavioral, psychological, and psychiatric problems in one place. As a special problem of sociopolitical context is victims of sexual violence, war rape crimes. A case study shows a young boy is accompanied by a parent due to behavioral problems manifested by extremely bad social interaction with peers and for spending most of his free time on his computer playing video games. The boy’s mother had previously been treated in a psychiatric clinic’s day hospital, where she shared her own trauma of rape in group psychotherapy and the painful problems she faced in her early 20s, where Republika Srpska Army soldiers systematically raped captured Bosniaks. The father is a former member of the Bosnian army, and he himself had lot of war traumas. Experience in working in the Counseling Centers like this one, as well as with all the scientific and technological achievements, we have enabled the development of procedures for solving mental health problems through online platforms and standardization of those procedures.
The Realpolitik of Values-Based Practice: An Introduction to Part VI, Reflections
Authors: Fulford Bill 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe three chapters in this Part reflect on their authors’ respective experiences of the challenges presented by the realpolitik of implementing projects in values-based practice. The challenges reflect the ‘3 Rs’ of values-based practice by which (as described in our concluding chapter 47, “Co-writing Values: What We Did and Why We Did It”) we have been guided in developing this book: Raising awareness, chapter 44, “Reflections on the Impact of Mental Health Ward Staff Training in Race Equality and Values-Based Practice”, a project combining race equality training and values-based practice for ward staff; Recognition, chapter 45, “Connecting Patients, Practitioners and Regulators in Supporting Positive Experiences and Processes of Shared Decision-Making in Osteopathy: A Case Study in Co-production”, a project in positive practice bringing together regulators, clinicians and patients; and Respect, chapter 46, “Beyond the Colour Bar: Sharing Narratives in Order to Promote a Clearer Understanding of Mental Health Issues Across Cultural and Racial Boundaries”, a project aimed at getting beyond the colour bar between white and black in mental health diagnosis. The chapter concludes with a note on the significance of the resources available from a culturally enriched form of values-based mental health practice for meeting the challenges of implementation.
Connecting Patients, Practitioners and Regulators in Supporting Positive Experiences and Processes of Shared Decision-Making: A Case Study in Co-production
Authors: Browne Fiona , Bettles Steven , Clift Stacey , Walker Tim 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThis chapter describes a project in osteopathy exploring how regulators can support shared decision-making by positively promoting good practice rather than by way of traditionally adopted methods based on fitness to practice and disciplinary action. The project is built in part on a background development programme in values-based osteopathy. The regulator (the General Osteopathic Council), osteopaths and patients worked together co-productively in a series of workshops to develop support resources for shared decision-making based on what is important to the individual patient in question. Central to the project was an emerging understanding of the cultural values of osteopathy as a profession and how these impact on their practice. A summary of and links to the resources produced by the project are included. The chapter starts with a case narrative (the story of ‘Jennifer’) adapted from one used in the background development programme.
Anorexia as Religion: Ocularcentrism as a Cultural Value and a Compensation Strategy in Persons with Eating Disorders
Authors: Stanghellini Giovanni , Mancini Milena 
Published: December 2020

AbstractBuilding on a view of Feeding and Eating Disorders (FEDs) as passions, this chapter illustrates through personal testimony and materials from publicly accessible (Pro-Ana) websites the nature of anorexia as a kind of religion. The explicit values of this ‘religion’ are shown to have their origins in a cultural value we call ‘ocularcentrism’. Some of the limitations and further developments of this model are indicated. The model though we conclude may be helpful in developing more effective approaches to therapy.
Behold! The Voices of Angels: Narrative, Audience and Affect in Eadmer of Canterbury’s Breviloquium Vita Sancti Wilfridi
Authors: Powell Hilary 
Published: December 2020

AbstractTwo new, lengthy and highly detailed miracle stories appear at the end of Eadmer of Canterbury’s ‘Brief Life of St. Wilfrid’. The first involves an invisible angelic choir, while the second comprises a vision of angels worshipping Wilfrid’s relics in a church suffused with golden, heavenly light. As neither story features in the earlier, full-lengthVita, Powell examines what sets these narratives apart, focusing on their cognitive and affective impact upon their audience. In foregrounding Eadmer’s declared desire to inspire veneration, Powell distances herself from traditional historicist interpretations of hagiography. She proposes that hagiography should be seen as a cultural artefact, and demonstrates how thetopoiof visions and voice-hearing offered particularly effective vehicles for the provocation of wonder and veneration.
Thinking Fantasies: Visions and Voices in Medieval English Secular Writing
Authors: Saunders Corinne 
Published: December 2020

AbstractThe creative engagement with visions and voices in medieval secular writing is the subject of this essay. Visionary experience is a prominent trope in late medieval imaginative fiction, rooted in long-standing literary conventions of dream vision, supernatural encounter and revelation, as well as in medical, theological and philosophical preoccupations of the period. Literary texts repeatedly depict supernatural experience of different kinds—dreams and prophecies, voices and visions, marvels and miracles, otherworldly and ghostly visitants. In part, such narratives respond to an impulse towards escapism and interest in the fantastic, and they have typically been seen as non-mimetic. Yet they also engage with serious ideas concerning visionary experience and the ways in which individual lives may open onto the supernatural—taking up the possibilities suggested both by dream theory and by the theological and psychological models of the period. Examples drawn from a range of Middle English romances and from Chaucer’s romance writing demonstrate the powerful creative potential of voices and visions. Such experiences open onto fearful and fascinating questions concerning forces beyond the self and their intersections with the processes of individual thinking, feeling and being in the world, from trauma to revelation to romantic love.
Holographic integral geometry with time dependence
Authors: Czech Bartłomiej , Olivas Yaithd D. , Wang Zi-zhi 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We write down Crofton formulas — expressions that compute lengths of space- like curves in asymptotically AdS3 geometries as integrals over kinematic space — which apply when the curve and/or the background spacetime is time-dependent. Relative to their static predecessor, the time-dependent Crofton formulas display several new features, whose origin is the local null rotation symmetry of the bulk geometry. In pure AdS3 where null rotations are global symmetries, the Crofton formulas simplify and become integrals over the null planes, which intersect the bulk curve.
Worldline theories with towers of internal states
Authors: Abel Steven , Lewis Daniel 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
We study particle theories that have a tower of worldline internal degrees of freedom. Such a theory can arise when the worldsheet of closed strings is dimensionally reduced to a worldline, in which case the tower is infinite with regularly spaced masses. But our discussion is significantly more general than this, and there is scope to consider all kinds of internal degrees of freedom carried by the propagating particle. For example it is possible to consider towers corresponding to other geometries, or towers with no obvious geometric interpretation that still yield a modular invariant theory. Truncated towers generate non-local particle theories that share with string theory the property of having a Gross-Mende-like saddle point in their amplitudes. This provides a novel framework for constructing exotic theories which may have desirable properties such as finiteness and modular invariance.
Cosmic ray boosted sub-GeV gravitationally interacting dark matter in direct detection
Authors: Wang Wenyu , Wu Lei , Yang Jin Min , Zhou Hang , Zhu Bin 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
Detections of non-gravitational interactions of massive dark matter (DM) with visible sector so far have given null results. The DM may communicate with the ordinary matter only through gravitational interaction. Besides, the majority of traditional direct detections have poor sensitivities for light DM because of the small recoil energy. Thanks to the high energy cosmic rays (CRs), the light DM can be boosted by scattering with CRs and thus may be detected in the ongoing experiments. In this work, we derive the exclusion limits on the cosmic ray boosted sub-GeV DM with gravitational mediator from the Xenon1T data. It turns out that a sizable region of such a cosmic ray boosted DM can be excluded by the current data.
Massive celestial fermions
Authors: Narayanan Sruthi A. 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
In an effort to further the study of amplitudes in the celestial CFT (CCFT), we construct conformal primary wavefunctions for massive fermions. Upon explicitly calculating the wavefunctions for Dirac fermions, we deduce the corresponding transformation of momentum space amplitudes to celestial amplitudes. The shadow wavefunctions are shown to have opposite spin and conformal dimension 2 − ∆. The Dirac conformal primary wave- functions are delta function normalizable with respect to the Dirac inner product provided they lie on the principal series with conformal dimension ∆ = 1 + iλ for λ ∈ ℝ. It is shown that there are two choices of a complete basis: single spin $$ J=\frac{1}{2} $$

and λ ∈ ℝ+∪0. The massless limit of the Dirac conformal primary wavefunctions is shown to agree with previous literature. The momentum generators on the celestial sphere are derived and, along with the Lorentz generators, form a representation of the Poincaré algebra. Finally, we show that the massive spin-1 conformal primary wavefunctions can be constructed from the Dirac conformal primary wavefunctions using the standard Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. We use this procedure to write the massive spin-$$ \frac{3}{2} $$

Defects in the 3-dimensional toric code model form a braided fusion 2-category
Authors: Kong Liang , Tian Yin , Zhang Zhi-Hao 
Published: December 2020

Abstract
It was well known that there are e-particles and m-strings in the 3-dimensional (spatial dimension) toric code model, which realizes the 3-dimensional ℤ2 topological order. Recent mathematical result, however, shows that there are additional string-like topological defects in the 3-dimensional ℤ2 topological order. In this work, we construct all topological defects of codimension 2 and higher, and show that they form a braided fusion 2-category satisfying a braiding non-degeneracy condition.
