Development Analysis

The article examines the current state of mental healthcare systems in countries of Eastern Europe and derives implications for future research and service development. Analysis of available statistics from the World Health Organization's Mental Health Atlas suggests the need for better-quality data collection. Nonetheless, there appear to be insufficient resources allocated to mental health, lack of involvement of service users in policy-making and, to a large extent, systems continue to rely on mental hospitals. Based on the data presented, a set of directions for future reforms was drafted.

Climate Crisis

Summary The climate crisis poses the greatest threat to human health this century. Mental health services will be called on to address the psychological consequences of its effects on peoples’ lives, particularly the socially disadvantaged and those on low incomes. However, healthcare systems are also contributors to the climate crisis. This editorial discusses how services can continue to provide care while contributing less to climate change. Specifically, it suggests what services such as forensic mental healthcare, which is constrained by legal, political and resourcing concerns, can do differently.

Recent Developments

Abstract The development of social robots has been notably increasing and gaining popularity in recent times. These are also being integrated into healthcare systems, as a means to accompany patients, provide mental health therapy, and entertainment in place of direct human intervention. This paper discusses the recent developments on imitation learning for robot therapy in the field of social robotics to gain knowledge about the importance of this approach as an alternative solution to mental health therapy. The integration of robots to the mental healthcare system is known as robot therapy, which is used as a substitute for animal assisted therapy. Therapy that makes use of animals has been proven to be effective in dealing with mental disorders. However, there are risks such as allergic reactions, bites, and scratches that come with animal assisted therapy, but not robot therapy. The goal for developing robots for this is to make them seem almost life-like--has a way of thinking and emotions. For this to happen, humanoids are being programmed to appear human-like. A solution for this is imitation learning, which is a way for machines to learn, not only tasks, but responses in certain situations, only by observing and imitating humans in an environment.

Culturally Appropriate Care

The personal recovery movement is beginning to gain traction within Singapore’s mental healthcare systems. We believe it is timely to give a broad overview of how it developed and provide suggestions on how it can evolve further. From the early custodial care in the 1800s to the community-centric programmes of the 1900s and early 2000s, we now find ourselves at the forefront of yet another paradigm shift towards a more consumer-centric model of care. The following decades will allow personal recovery practitioners and researchers to innovate and identify unique but culturally appropriate care frameworks. We also discuss how the movement can continue to complement existing mental healthcare systems and efforts. Keywords: Asia, legislation, lived experience, mental health services, personal recovery
