Dimensions and Implications of Cultural Identity
Authors: Fogel Barry S. , Jiang Xiaoling 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Cultural identity is intersectional: It includes not only race and nationality but also socioeconomic class, occupation, religion, gender, age/generation, and life stage. Culture is usefully characterized dimensionally. Hofstede identified dimensions of individualism/collectivism, power distance, uncertainty avoidance, gender role differentiation, short-term/long-term orientation, and indulgence/restraint. Trust in individuals and institutions, as well as social capital—structural, relational, instrumental, and cognitive—moderate the emotional effects of stress and adversity. Trust in clinicians enables effective treatment. The expression of depression is mediated by cultural communication styles, with their dimensions of high-context/low-context, direct/indirect, self-enhancing/self-effacing, and elaborate/understated. Word choices and metaphors—which vary by culture—help identify depression, indicate its severity, and reveal suicide risk. Details critical for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment can be “lost in cultural translation.”
Japan: Invisible Double-Edged Swords
Authors: Fogel Barry S. , Jiang Xiaoling 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Traditional Japanese culture uniquely combines elements of Buddhism, Daoism, and Shintō. It is more collectivistic than Western culture and more individualistic than Chinese culture. Aesthetics and organizational culture are highly developed, with survival value and external appeal but with underlying negative or risky implications. Communication is high-context, understated, and often non-verbal or paralinguistic. Self-construal is highly interdependent. Shūdan ishiki (group consciousness) is universal, and ba no kuuki wo yomu (“reading the air”) is an essential social skill. Melancholy is normalized, and suicide often is rationalized or romanticized. Haji (shame) is a common reaction to error or failure, sometimes unbearable to the point of suicide. Distinctive presentations of depression and self-harm arise from this cultural context, including kodokushi (lonely death), karōshi (death from overwork), and shin-gata utsubyo ("new type depression” or “modern type depression”). Depression can be obscured by normalization of melancholy and bipolarity by culturally sanctioned overwork or pleasure-seeking.
Depression and Suicide in the “World’s Happiest Countries”
Authors: Fogel Barry S. , Jiang Xiaoling 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The Nordic nations—Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden—and Switzerland are consistently among the world’s 10 “happiest countries.” Their residents enjoy excellent education and healthcare, relatively high upward mobility, a relatively small gender gap, and natural beauty. However, their positive social determinants of health do not prevent depression or suicide. Compared with Western Europe overall, Finland and Sweden have a higher prevalence of major depressive disorder. Suicide rates are relatively high for both genders in Finland, Sweden, and Switzerland; for men in Iceland; and for women in Denmark and Norway. Cultural differences help explain the epidemiology. Finland has historical trauma, a tradition of stoicism, and widespread binge drinking. Sweden has highly prevalent sexual harassment, leading to depression in working women. Denmark’s hedonistic culture underlies lifestyle-related chronic medical conditions. Norway’s athletic, outdoor culture is antidepressant. French, Italian, and German regions of Switzerland differ in their prevalence and expressions of depression.
General concept of somatization
Authors: Grover Sandeep , Naskar Chandrima 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The phenomenon of expression of psychological or emotional distress in the form of bodily symptoms is termed somatization. The concept has come a long way from the Hippocratic ‘hysteria’ to the diagnostic category of disorders of bodily distress and bodily experience in the International Classification of Diseases, eleventh revision (ICD-11). Various models have been proposed to explain these apparently ‘unexplainable’ physical complaints, which account for a significant burden on healthcare services. This chapter tries to provide an overview of the concept of somatization, from its psychodynamic origins, cognitive models, and neurobiological correlates. An attempt is also made to synthesize these seemingly disparate concepts into an understandable correlated mechanism, underlying the phenomenon of somatization.

Somatization in North America
Authors: El Halabi Sarah , Fiskin Anna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Mind–body dualism is at the core of Western philosophy and has found its way to modern sciences, including psychiatry. Somatization is a term that is used to describe bodily symptoms that may or may not be attributed to a medical condition and, according to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, fifth edition (DSM-5), are related to mental distress. This chapter, with the help of a constructed vignette, explores the relationship between mind–body dualism and somatization. Furthermore, the chapter explores the diagnostic premise of somatization in modern medicine, screening and treatment approaches, and psychotherapeutic techniques.

Self-management approaches
Authors: Quarshie Emmanuel Nii-Boye , House Allan 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Self-management can start with basic self-care focusing on eating habits and diet, sleep hygiene and the use of alcohol and recreational drugs. A basic crisis plan can involve a list of coping strategies the individual can try, and of external sources of support. It is worth looking not just at short-term tactics but at longer-term goals and plans—thinking about personal goals and values, key people in longer-term relationships both helpful and harmful, reviewing barriers to change. External resources in all these endeavours can include friends and family, third-sector organizations, and (despite their poor reputation) judicious use of social media. When and how to seek professional help should form part of a self-management plan.
Interpersonal communication: Heron’s Six Category Intervention Analysis
Authors: Morrissey Jean 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter presents John Heron’s Six Category Intervention communication and outlines how mental health nurses can use the different interventions in their clinical practice. For the developing practitioner, this communication framework provides a flexible and user-friendly tool to learn, acquire, and develop a range of interpersonal skills that can be used in various clinical encounters. However, it is not enough simply to learn the specific interventions; they must be applied in practice, whereby real learning takes place. Examples of each intervention are presented together with some of the factors that might influence their use in practice. The chapter concludes with a summary of the key points discussed.
Understanding therapeutic relationships in mental health nursing
Authors: Rooney Greg , McKenna Lawson Stephen , Coffey Michael 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter provides a discussion on relationship skills for mental health nurses. These skills are seen as fundamental to the profession and arise in the context of supporting policy, education, and research on and about practice, and in relation to places and types of work that mental health nurses are engaged in. High-quality relationships are valued by people using services and predict positive outcomes for them. Mental health nurses value therapeutic relationships as an important part of their work too. The chapter sets out a framework for establishing and maintaining relationships as a fundamental basis for intervening to help people. This recognizes that skilful and sensitive handling are required to enable people to trust nurses so that together the nurse and service user can find ways to help the person and keep them safe.
Key skills for delivering psychosocial interventions in dementia care
Authors: Hoe Juanita , Thompson Rachel 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
The number of people living with dementia is increasing and caring for people effectively can be difficult. Dementia is a complex and multifaceted disorder and nurses should be able to provide evidence-based, culturally sensitive interventions appropriately tailored to the needs of this population. Evidence supporting the use of psychosocial interventions in dementia care has increased significantly over recent years and focuses on improving cognitive, psychological, and social aspects of well-being. This chapter examines three well-established therapeutic psychosocial interventions: cognitive stimulation therapy, reminiscence therapy, and life story work. These interventions are nationally and globally recommended for use with people living with dementia.

The discussion focuses on the principles and provisions of part 2 of the Mental Health Act 1983 and the nurse’s role when providing care and treatment within that legal framework. The chapter begins by defining a mental disorder and the considers the principles of compulsory confinement then discusses the civil detention provisions of the 1983 Act. Consent to treatment and the safeguards underpinning compulsory treatment are discussed. The role of the Mental Health Act 1983 in supporting rehabilitation and aftercare is considered.
How Do I Manage My New Patient Who Has Been Erratically Managed with Opioids?
Authors: Smith Wally R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter offers advice for managing sickle cell disease patients periodically in pain who, with each episode, have been repeatedly given a cycle of opioid therapy, often by different caregivers, without a thoughtful, comprehensive pain management plan or a thoughtful plan for safe opioid prescribing long-term. They may have developed opioid tolerance and possibly have also developed physical dependence. What name should be given to their pain and opioid utilization patterns—acute pain or chronic pain? Is their pattern of use considered overuse, misuse, or addiction? How then should they be counseled regarding their current habits of opioid, emergency, and hospital utilization? What are some approaches that will best serve these patients, in terms of both pain management efficacy and safe opioid use?
Does My Adult Patient on De Facto Chronic Opioid Therapy Need It?
Authors: Smith Wally R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter makes recommendations for comprehensively managing patients who are effectively on constant, long-term opioids for sickle cell disease pain, without intention. They likely have developed both opioid tolerance and physical dependence. The risks and benefits of long-term opioids have not been explicitly weighed by their many, often episodic, providers. Guidelines all strongly recommend that job one is to phenotype the patient’s pain, as part of an assessment of whether they have chronic pain. What name should be given to their pain and opioid utilization patterns? How should their opioid risks and benefits be weighed? How then should their pain be comprehensively assessed and managed long-term?
How Do I Manage My Adult Patient at Home in a Vaso-occlusive Crisis?
Authors: Smith Wally R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Acute sickle cell disease (SCD) pain, mostly in the form of vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), may present suddenly with no warning. VOCs can occur atop ongoing acute or chronic pain. Most SCD pain, including acute pain, is treated at home. This chapter offers an approach to the management of acute SCD pain treated at home. It offers tools and approaches to prevent emergency department and hospital use, to shorten the length of a home-managed VOC, and to monitor patients in a VOC at home for resolution or further intervention. Specific medications and combinations of medications are suggested. Behavioral and social elements influencing place of treatment are also listed and discussed.
How Do I Reduce My Patient’s Psychic Trauma and Social Disruption?
Authors: Walls Rachel , Smith Wally R. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter focuses on management of the often-encountered behavioral health comorbidities which can trigger frequent, problematic healthcare utilization in patients with sickle cell disease. The chapter urges clinicians to adopt the biopsychosocial model of pain, and understand the bilateral relationships between the psychosocial and biomedical aspects of the pain experience. The chapter reviews findings that, in both children and adults, psychological interventions improve pain, and recommends these findings be applied to patients with SCD. Terms are defined that illustrate various problematic utilization behaviors. Behavioral theories underlying suggested specific management tools are offered. Explanations are given of how to use these management tools to change patient utilization behavior. Precautions are offered about the use and misuse of these tools. Patient autonomy is emphasized.
How Do I Manage My Patient Using Cannabis for Pain?
Authors: Liu Angela , Slawek Deepika , Curtis Susanna 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This chapter guides clinicians on how to work in partnership with people living with sickle cell disease (SCD) to make decisions about using cannabis for their pain. Humans have used phytocannabinoids (cannabinoids derived from plants) for their activity on the human endocannabinoid system for thousands of years. This use has been recreational or medicinal and has been common in people living with chronic pain, including those with SCD. Pharmaceutical-grade cannabis has been effective for treating chronic pain, nausea, and poor appetite (tetrahydrocannabinol [THC]), anxiety, cravings from substance use disorders, seizures (cannabidiol [CBD]), and neuropathic pain and spasticity (THC/CBD). Cannabis use in people with SCD has been associated with a reduction in hospital admissions or improvements in mood. However, phytocannabinoids have slowed reaction time, caused lung toxicity if inhaled, and carried risks of contamination and legal toxicity from use of unregulated formulations. This chapter emphasizes that cannabis use in SCD patients should be oral, to avoid lung toxicity, and should be medically prescribed, to avoid risks of contamination and legal toxicity in states with medical cannabis laws.
How Do I Manage My Patient with a Painful Leg Ulcer?
Authors: Minniti Caterina , Crouch Andrew , Zinder Roman 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Leg ulcers are a common complication of sickle cell disease (SCD). Ulcers start in the second decade of life and tend to recur. They are slow to heal. They are very painful even without manipulation, especially at night and when exposed to air. This chapter addresses acute and chronic leg ulcers as causes of pain in individuals with SCD. It offers insights into the etiology of leg ulcer, its significance for the overall health of patients and clinical course, and tips for ulcer management, which necessitates a holistic approach. It provides a special focus on leg ulcer pain management. It offers clinical insights on how to predict the course of leg ulcers and how to counsel patients accordingly.
Cancer Survivors in Later Life
Authors: Deimling Gary T. 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
This book examines a broad range of topics concerning cancer survivorship in later life. Most cancers and half of all malignancies occur in individuals older than 65. As the population ages, it is estimated that this will increase to 70% by 2030. With the recent advances in medical care, people are living longer after cancer treatments, and the number of cancer survivors is projected to reach 19 million in 2024. This book realistically portrays life after cancer among older adults in terms of continuing health and the emotional challenges they face, and the strength, resources, and growth of those who have survived cancer. This book is organized into eight chapters that reflect some of the key themes in psychosocial and medical oncology as well as in geriatric and social gerontology literatures: physical and mental health, stress appraisal, coping and adaptation, survivor, and illness identity, and altered life perspectives. Within each chapter, a conceptual framework identifies its core themes. These are then examined in terms of prominent foundational and recent research published by others other working in cancer survivorship and aging. Our own research at the Cancer Survivors Research Program (CSRP) at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland Ohio is featured as well. In addition to the quantitative findings, each chapter provides a narrative that draws on the lived experiences of older adult survivors who participated in our research in their own words. We hope that these “lived experiences” of survivors illuminate the statistics we report.
The purpose of psychodynamic psychotherapy
Authors: Rinaldi Matthew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps patients in many ways. In this chapter, the main effects of psychodynamic psychotherapy are explained by the various techniques that will be outlined in the remainder of the book. This will justify why the new therapist is learning these skills which include providing a space for people to tell their story, being trustworthy, listening without judgement, empathy, focusing on emotions, reflecting during absences, the working alliance, linking, working with difference, defences, countertransference, transference interpretations, dream work, working through, and ending. Psychoanalytic, neuroscientific, and observational studies are used to evidence the claims made for psychodynamic psychotherapy as an effective intervention for complex patients. The case is also made that training in psychodynamic psychotherapy is a resilience-promoting exercise for the trainee.
Personal therapy
Authors: Rinaldi Matthew 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Personal therapy is a very helpful tool to build one’s resilience, understand the inner world, and learn how to embody a helpful way of being with other people. It can also offset the demands of the training and profession. By exploring why one chose to be a therapist, one can also ensure that the pathological drives are minimized. Suggestions are given for how to find a suitable therapist, what to consider, and the reader is encouraged to make a start.
Dual DNA replication modes: varying fork speeds and initiation rates within the spatial replication program in Xenopus
Authors: Ciardo Diletta , Haccard Olivier , de Carli Francesco , Hyrien Olivier , Goldar Arach , Marheineke Kathrin 
Published: January 2025

Abstract
Large vertebrate genomes duplicate by activating tens of thousands of DNA replication origins, irregularly spaced along the genome. The spatial and temporal regulation of the replication process is not yet fully understood. To investigate the DNA replication dynamics, we developed a methodology called RepliCorr, which uses the spatial correlation between replication patterns observed on stretched single-molecule DNA obtained by either DNA combing or high-throughput optical mapping. The analysis revealed two independent spatiotemporal processes that regulate the replication dynamics in the Xenopus model system. These mechanisms are referred to as a fast and a slow replication mode, differing by their opposite replication fork speed and rate of origin firing. We found that Polo-like kinase 1 (Plk1) depletion abolished the spatial separation of these two replication modes. In contrast, neither replication checkpoint inhibition nor Rap1-interacting factor (Rif1) depletion affected the distribution of these replication patterns. These results suggest that Plk1 plays an essential role in the local coordination of the spatial replication program and the initiation–elongation coupling along the chromosomes in Xenopus, ensuring the timely completion of the S phase.
