Introduction to the McGill Illness Narrative Interview (MINI)
D. Groleau

The McGill Illness Narrative Interview is a semi-structure protocol for eliciting听information about illness experience that has been widely used in psychiatry, medicine听and global health research. This workshop will present the theoretical basis of the MINI听as a tool for qualitative health research. We will also cover the potential links with the听concepts and values of Person-Centered Medicine.

Global Mental Health Research
D. Pedersen & Faculty

The seminar provides an introduction to key issues in global mental health (GMH)听research with special reference to low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We will听explore the tensions between a vertical public health approach, grounded in a biomedical听frame and current evidence-based practices, and a horizontal community-based approach,听that emphasizes local taxonomies and priorities, empowerment of local resources and听endogenous solutions. The seminar will build a cultural critique of GMH and raise basic听issues for discussion: (a) current priorities in GMH research have been largely framed by听mental health professionals and their institutional partners based in Northern countries,听reflecting the dominant interests of psychiatry and paying insufficient attention to听Southern partners and local priorities; (b) the assumption in GMH that major psychiatric听disorders are biologically determined and therefore universal; (c) the focus on existing听evidence-based treatments, and the assumption that Western standard treatments can be听readily applied across cultures with minimal adaptation; and (d) the emphasis on GMH听interventions that may marginalize indigenous forms of healing and coping which may听contribute to positive outcomes and recovery. The ultimate goal of this seminar is to听outline a balanced critical perspective on GMH as a new field of enquiry and practice that听acknowledges the importance of the social determinants of mental health and the听interplay between the social and the cultural with the biological dimensions of mental听health. The seminar will include lectures, panel presentations, case studies and plenary听discussions of readings by faculty and students, supplemented by video documentaries听and films.

Begins: May 9, 2014 (18 hours) F 飥� 09:00-12:30
