This paper is written in support of the ten-minute film Glad You’re Here, a visually stunning personal film, told through the eyes of an artist. Engaging themes of love and betrayal, hope, belonging and place, Glad You’re Here documents my nineteen--year journey through building a family life, seeing it suffer the damage of mental illness, grief and separation, and then rebuilding with empathy.

The story is summarized, and context is provided. Ethical issues in autobiographical film are discussed with regard to motive, consent, and disclosure. Issues specific to filming family, treatment of archival material, and use of place and landscape are considered.

The Right

With the increasing use of neuroimaging research in psychiatry and the role imaging plays in society more generally in how mental illness is understood, it is important to consider the myriad ethical issues raised by imaging technologies, for example, for medicine, for law, and for patients. This chapter provides an overview of major ethical questions concerning: imaging of ethical reasoning in psychiatric disorder; forensic psychiatry, criminality, and responsibility; mindblindness and empathy in autism; the use of neuroimaging for screening, prediction, and diagnosis; “mind reading” and the right to privacy of thoughts; and the implications of imaging for the ethics and politics of biological psychiatry.

Adolescents And Adults

Court-ordered outpatient psychotherapy (COT) has been used in the criminal justice system for treatment of adolescents and adults for a number of problems such as mental illness, substance use, and sex offenses, and the number and frequency of such orders has grown at a dramatic rate. Practitioners are being asked to treat someone even though they are not free to exercise the normal duties they would have toward their voluntary patients. This circumstance creates a number of potential ethical dilemmas regarding informed consent, potential loyalty conflicts, violations of confidentiality, and the risk of therapeutic ruptures that clinicians typically do not encounter on daily basis. This chapter will explore these ethical issues and provide examples of questions practitioners should take into account when working with this population.

Anne Moody

Abstract Anne Moody is best known for her 1968 autobiography, Coming of Age in Mississippi, which documented her first twenty-two years growing up in the Magnolia State, and her activism as part of the mass movement for civil rights before she fled the South. While the book was an instant success, assigned for decades in schools, colleges, and universities, we know little about Moody’s life thereafter. This essay tackles some of that history, and delves into the ethics of finding someone who did not want to be found and left nothing for researchers—yet a few legally obtained boxes containing sensitive personal information that highlighted trauma and mental illness became available for a couple of years in a university archive. The essay discusses some of the ethical issues historians must navigate as they follow research leads, and implicitly underscores the importance of personal and professional integrity in the method and product historians utilize and create.

People With Mental Illness

This article summarises current knowledge about two aspects of family care for people with mental illness: potentially pressurising or coercive aspects of family life; and family carers' experiences of being involved in coercive service interventions. There is a paucity of studies on these topics, especially outside Europe, North America and Australasia, and further research is recommended.

Ethical Challenges

Abstract: This study addresses the practical, methodological and ethical challenges that were found in three studies that used focus groups with people with severe mental illness, in the context of community mental health services in Brazil. Focus groups are a powerful tool in health research that need to be better discussed in research with people with severe mental illness, in the context of community mental health facilities. This study is based on the authors’ experience of conducting and analyzing focus groups in three different cities - Campinas, Rio de Janeiro and Salvador - between 2006-2010. The implementation of focus groups with people with severe mental illness is discussed in the following categories; planning, group design, sampling, recruitment, group interview guides, and conduction. The importance of connecting mental healthcare providers as part of the research context is emphasized. Ethical issues and challenges are highlighted, as well as the establishment of a sensitive and empathic group atmosphere, wherein mutual respect can facilitate interpersonal relations and enable people diagnosed with severe mental illness to make sense of the experience. We emphasize the relevance of the interaction between clinical and research teams in order to create collaborative work, achieve inquiry aims, and elicit narratives of mental health users and professionals.
