Survivors Of Suicide

This study aimed to explore ethical dilemmas and challenges faced by young mental healthcare researchers and professionals working with survivors of suicide (hereinafter suicide survivors). Two focus group discussions (FGDs) Researcher FGD (with those engaged in suicide research) and Clinician FGD (with those providing treatment to suicide survivors) – consisting of open-ended questions and lasting for 70-90 minutes were conducted and analysed using Thematic Analysis. Five themes were identified: i) struggling with the incongruity of harm within benefit, ii) difficulty in delineating boundaries, iii) self-doubt in one’s professional competence, iv) nature of suicide straining the limits of confidentiality, and v) working with structural limitations. The study helps to understand the obstacles and dilemmas encountered in adhering to ethical principles while working with vulnerable individuals.

Mental Health Facilities

Client's rights is an issue which resurfaces periodically in professional journals, but which is ever-present in the minds of consumers of mental-health facilities. While some of the most striking pleas for adherence to rights have centred in the past on inpatient mental-health facilities, similar issues related to client treatment continue to exist in community mental-health centres. This paper reviews the literature on outpatient clients' rights from the perspective of both clients and professionals. The paper provides suggestions for mental-health professionals to more adequately address the rights of their clients in terms of the workplace, the organization of their agencies, and through legal/legislated means.
