The Relationship

In today's world of globalization and immigration, mental health workers are required to adapt their practice and develop new skills in order to treat immigrant populations. Ethnopsychiatry is a field created by Georges Devereux at the beginning of the 20th century. Devereux's unique psychoanalytic approach resides in reference to the relationship existing between psychic troubles and social norms in a given cultural context. During his multiple stays predominantly among North American Mohave Indians, Devereux structured knowledge and created concepts including anxiety observer counter-transference, schizophrenia as an “ethnic disorder”, the ethnic personality etc. Since the early 80's, the French psychologist and psychoanalyst Tobie Nathan, Devereux's student and follower, further developed his master's theories. He conceptualized a methodology with implementation in the French immigrant population. He thus shaped contemporary Ethnopsychiatry, as currently practiced in the Georges Devereux center, (Paris 8 University) in France and in many other clinics internationally. The ethnopsychiatric setting conceived by Tobie Nathan imparts a crucial and authentic role to cultural diversity. Tobie Nathan proposes to study with equal respect and seriousness theories and practices related to unhappiness and disease, irrespective of culture or civilization. Ethnopsychiatric setting helps to overcome the deleterious consequences of the split existing between the two cultural referents (host and origin) in which our patients live. During the presentation, principles of Ethnopsychiatric practice will be introduced accompanied by a case report of an Ethiopian patient from the Beer-Yaacov Mental Health Center Ethnopsychiatric clinic for illustrative purposes.

The Relationship

The purpose of this article is to reflect on aspects that guide the work world today, more specifically on the high competitiveness between enterprises, affecting the internal environment of the organization, causing disturbances in behavior and mental health workers. These disorders that can range from a simple lack of motivation to depressive disorders, which affect the various spheres of their existence. By prioritizing technology and relationships geared solely to the achievement of performance goals, always unattainable, the companies put aside the worker, while human being. It is necessary to rethink these issues in light of the dialogical relationship and the alternation of the relationship I-Thou and I-it, championed by Martin Buber, in order to promote a more harmonious coexistence and balanced in that context.

Background: Mental health service providers are frequently exposed to stress and violence in the line of duty. There is a dearth of data concerning the psychological sequelae of the frequent exposure to stress and violence, especially among those who work in resource-limited countries such as Botswana.Aim: To determine the prevalence and predictors of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among mental health workers in a tertiary mental health institute in Botswana.Setting: The study was conducted in Sbrana Psychiatric Hospital, which is the only referral psychiatric hospital in Botswana.Methods: The study used a descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 201 mental health workers completed a researcher-designed psycho-socio-demographic questionnaire, which included one neuroticism item of the Big Five Inventory, and a PTSD Checklist-Civilian Version (PCL-C), which was used to assess symptoms of PTSD.Results: Majority of the study participants were general nurses (n = 121, 60.5%) and females (n = 122, 60.7%). Thirty-seven (18.4%) of the participants met the criteria for PTSD. Exposure to violence in the past 12 months (AOR = 3.26; 95% CI: 1.49–7.16) and high neuroticism score (AOR = 2.72; 95% CI: 1.19–6.24) were significantly associated with the diagnosis of PTSD among the participants.Conclusion: Post-traumatic stress disorder could result from stressful events encountered in the course of managing patients in mental health institutes and departments. Pre-placement personality evaluation of health workers to be assigned to work in psychiatric units and post-incident trauma counselling of those exposed to violence may be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of PTSD in mental hospital health care workers.
