The finance department at Lancashire Care has always delivered financial training to support budget holders, clinicians and managers. The COVID–19 pandemic threatened to curtail these important interactions.  Understandably financial training wasn’t a priority as the pandemic manifested but as the months progressed and a sense of routine developed, clinicians reached out to the finance department to request some financial awareness training.  It demonstrated that whilst the NHS has had to cope and manage with the ‘greatest threat to mental health since the second world war’ (Guardian, Dec 2020), clinical and finance colleagues decided that the show must go on! This article describes the training that was delivered and how finance departments can still interact and engage with non-finance colleagues during these challenging times.

Modern mental healthcare in Poland has its foundations in the 19th century, when the country was subject to three different organisational and legal systems — of the Austrian, Prussian and Russian Empires. These differences prevailed even after the First World War. Professionals lobbying for a mental health act had no success. The Second World War left mental healthcare with significant losses among its professional groups. More than half of all Polish psychiatrists lost their lives; some of them were exterminated as Jews, some as prisoners of the Soviets. The Nazi occupation in Poland had dramatic consequences for people with a mental disturbance, as Action T4 turned into genocide on the Polish territory. The majority of psychiatric in-patients were killed. After the Second World War, the mental health system had to be rebuilt, almost from scratch. Major political changes in the country across the second part of the 20th century and revolutionary changes in mental healthcare around the world influenced psychiatric services. The purpose of this paper is to describe mental healthcare in Poland today.

This essay breaks new ground in exploring the tensions in female nursing during the Second World War as the mental health needs of the injured were increasingly acknowledged. Advances in weaponry and transportation meant that the Second World War was a truly global war with mobile troops and enhanced capacity to maim and kill. A critical mass of female nursing sisters was posted to provide care for physical trauma, yet the nature of this uniquely modern war also required nurses to provide psychological support for troops readying for return to action. Most nursing sisters of the British Army had little or no mental health training, but there were trained male mental health nurses available. Publications of broadcasts by the Matron-in-Chief of the British Army Nursing Service detail the belief that the female nurse was the officer in charge of the ward when the patients had physical needs. However, that the nursing sister held this position when the patients’ requirements were of a psychological nature was at times tested and contested. Through personal testimony and contemporary accounts in the nursing and medical press, this essay investigates how female nursing staff negotiated their position as the expert by the psychologically damaged combatants’ bedside. The essay identifies the resourcefulness of nurses to ensure access to all patient groups and also their determination to move the boundaries of their professional work to support soldiers in need.

The subject of this analysis is the protection of homestead (farmer's minimum), from when it was introduced into Serbian law until the Second World War. The regulation about prohibiting debt collection of the peasant cover the essential part of his homestead, was introduced into Serbian law in the year 1836. It was necessary to prescribe the protection of the homestead, because the peasants borrowed from the usurers and thus lost their house and the last piece of land. That protection of the farmer's house and a few days of land became an integral part of Serbia's legal identity. The regulation about prohibiting debt collection of the peasant cover the essential part of his homestead did not exist in all parts of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes. Because of that, when the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes was founded, the unification of laws became a priority task of the government. In this regard, a rich debate developed, which lasted until the Second World War.

Despite the extreme stress faced by submariners on patrol during the Second World War, the incidence of mental breakdown appears to have been very low. Contemporary researchers identified a number of factors that contributed to the mental health of crew members, including their selection, training, rest between patrols and confidence in their leaders. Based largely on the reminiscences of submarine veterans, this article argues that men’s attitudes also played a significant role in coping with danger on patrols. Many submariners adopted a fatalistic attitude that allowed them to accept or deny the likelihood of their deaths. At the same time, they often practiced beliefs and rituals in an attempt to balance the odds of survival in their favour.

The Republic of Croatia is in central Europe, on the Mediterranean. A large majority of its 4 440 000 inhabitants are Croats (89.6%). The main religion is Roman Catholicism (88%). Sixteen per cent of the population is aged over 65 years. Croatia was a part of Yugoslavia after the Second World War until 1991, when Croatia declared independence. Following the declaration, Croatia was attacked by the Yugoslav army and by Serbia and suffered a devastating war (1991–95). The transition had consequences for mental health, for example a dramatic rise in the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder, especially among soldiers. The majority of soldiers received appropriate psychiatric treatment; there has, however, been an increase in claims motivated by secondary gain, as a result of government policy.

Abstract This article offers a transnational account of the historical origins and development of the concept of ‘global psyche’ and transcultural psychiatry. It argues that the concept of universal, global psyche emerged in the aftermath of the Second World War and during decolonization, when West European psychiatry strove to leave behind its colonial legacies and lay the foundation for a more inclusive conversation between Western and non-Western mental health communities. In the second half of the twentieth century, leading ‘psy’ professionals across the globe set about identifying and defining the universal psychological mechanisms supposedly shared among all cultures (and ‘civilizations’). The article explores this far-reaching psychiatric, social and cultural search for a new definition of ‘common humanity’, relating it to the social and political history of decolonization, and to the post-war reconstruction and search for stable peace. It provides a transnational account of a series of interlinked developments and trends around the world in order to arrive at a global history of the decolonization of mental health science.

The Syrian crisis is entering its seventh year, and civilians continue to suffer and bear intolerable unique social consequences resulted of the most aggressive violent phenomena after the Second World War. The Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) for 2017 estimates that 6.3 million people are displaced within Syria and more than 6 million are outside the country. The assumptions of the humanitarian response have concluded a total number of 13.5 million people require humanitarian assistance and protection (UN OCHA, 2016).
