An evaluation of child psychiatric services for Bangladeshi parents

Ethnic minority populations and child psychiatry services: An Irish study

“…It reflects the dramatic socio-demographic changes of Blanchardstown: one third of children referred to the service were immigrants.

The present study found out that some ethnic groups were highly over-represented and some were under-represented.…”

Lost in translation: An interpretative phenomenological analysis of mental health professionals' experiences of empathy in clinical work with an interpreter

“…The analytic procedure is then repeated across all interview transcripts and a master table of themes constructed, which captures and describes the shared experiences of the participant group.

The repeated checking of the researchers' analysis against raw interview transcripts further ensures that interpretations made accurately reflect the data (Henwood & Pidgeon, 1992). Three remaining measures of validity proposed within the literature – internal coherence (the consistency and coherence of data interpretations), generativity (the ability of research to generate new areas for investigation), and rhetorical power (the quality of arguments supporting the presented data) – are left to the reader to assess the extent to which they have been fulfilled in the present study (Elliott et al , 1999; Vetere & Dallos, 2005).…”

Treatment of Deaf Clients: Ethical Considerations for Professionals in Psychology

“…Interpreters are not only responsible for transposing between the two languages, but they are also met with the task of bridging the gap between two cultures and backgrounds, which is quite a challenging task (Dean & Pollard, 2005). Previous research has demonstrated that the presence of interpreters increases client willingness to return to therapy (Hillier, Loshak, Rahman, & Marks, 1994). The Ethics Code also supports cooperation with other professionals (Standard 3.09) when indicated and professionally appropriate for the purposes of serving clients effectively and appropriately (APA, 2010).…”
