The academic department of psychiatry at Maastricht University is situated not only in the university hospital, but crucially also in nearly all the affiliated mental health institutions in a region with a source population of 650 000. This set-up is funded by a central government grant, allowing academic personnel to work in affiliated mental health institutions. Research projects are carried out on the basis of 4-year PhD contracts, or, in the case of doctors with specialist training, through research psychiatrist appointments in the regional academic psychiatric network. Strong links exist with the Institute of Psychiatry in London.

The Impact

A review is made of the anti-psychiatric movement through its major protagonists, Lacan, Laing, Cooper and Szasz. The ideology was set to challenge the concept of mental illness and question the authority of the psychiatrist and the need for mental health institutions. The anti-psychiatric movement received a lot of attention in the 1970s but is now considered to be of the past and of likely interest to the psychiatric historian. However, the impact of the movement on current psychiatric practice requires further re-examination and appraisal.

Tackling radicalization and terrorism in Dutch mental health institutions: Outcomes of a Dutch population survey

Virtually no data are available on mental health institutions working on radicalization and terrorism. In the Netherlands we conducted a survey of all mental health institutions (n = 65) in 2016. Fifty-seven per cent responded. The result is that mental health institutions in the Netherlands have started to take small steps towards tacking radicalization and terrorism. These small steps, even by 2016, are a contrast to the reality of radicalization and terrorist incidents and attacks in the Netherlands since 2000. This outcome may have been caused by the resistance of Dutch psychiatrists in the mental health sector (often heard in the Greater Amsterdam region) to the idea that radicalisation and terrorist incidents and attacks are not their work either. For their view is, it is not our job if there is no DSM disorder.
