“…On the contrary, the overcrowded services, in poor repair, with their meaningless routines, led to more damage than rehabilitation. Movements of "social psychiatry" started to envision care outside asylums, turning attention to the social condition of patients outside their walls (Lie and Green 2021). From the 1950s, antipsychotic medications started to be widely marketed and facilitated discharge of patients into their communities.…”

While the disciplinary architecture of hospitals has long prevailed in psychiatry, many care teams now work in smaller structures, within communities. Ariane d'Hoop explores one of these places: Drawing on fieldwork in a psychiatric day center for teenagers, she traces how spatial arrangements matter in the care practice. From a corner in which one can withdraw, to a kitchen inviting to hang around, or displayed artworks that pique one's curiosity, caregivers use the material environment to stir up the slightest affinity from teenagers. This study thus expands our idea of what attachment is, and makes us more able to recognize the subtle dynamics between care, things, and spaces. With a preface by Jeannette Pols.

“…This has been partly attributed to the 'decade of the brain' during the latter part of the 20th century. With the hope of triumphalism and optimism over the psychiatric manage ment of mental disorders through advances in neuro science, biological psychiatry has predominated the psychiatric discipline in many places across the globe (Lie & Greene, 2021;Morgan & Bhugra, 2010). Pilgrim and Rogers (2005) also posited that the decline of social psy chiatry is linked to its 'recent failure, compared to earlier days, to draw on insights from the social science'.…”

Background: While mental disorder is an ‘intrinsically social phenomenon’, social psychiatry has been reportedly declining. Addressing public interests in social psychiatry was among the suggestions to address this decline. In recent years, public interest in social psychiatry can be explored using Google Trends, an increasingly important infodemiological tool. Objective: This study determined changes in global online public interest in social psychiatry from January 2004 to December 2021 using Google search volumes. Methods: Search query using this keyword, ‘Social Psychiatry (Topic)’, was made using the Explore feature of Google Trends. The Region and Time Filters were set to ‘Worldwide’ and January 2004 to December 2021, respectively. Afterward, the search volumes, country ranking, queries, and topics returned by the Google Trends system was described and compared. Results: There was a generally decreasing trend in search volumes for social psychiatry where it decreased almost 10 times between 2004 and 2021. Only 11 countries were listed in Google Trends’ ranking with the top countries including Austria, Germany, and Switzerland. Search-related topics and queries were about social psychiatry related concepts, related academic discipline, human resources, social interventions, and education activities Conclusions: The findings suggest that there is a decreasing public interest in social psychiatry. To improve this, social psychiatry can address public expectation through improving its connection with allied social sciences, increasing its educational activities, and expanding its social intervention services.

The introduction of mental health collaborative care (MHCC) is one of the strategies to scale up access to mental health care in primary health care in Brazil. This article investigates an experience of mental health collaborative care in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. It is a qualitative study involving interviews with physicians and mental health professionals working in primary health care units located in the northern part of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The aim is to examine the various strategies and negotiations that primary health care professionals deploy to identify mental distress and plan health care interventions. We discuss the results within the economy of attention framework. We argue that divergences in diagnostic design and therapeutic planning carried out by professionals and users or observed in MHCC meetings illustrate the health-disease-care seeking phenomenon as a negotiated process, entangled in complex interactions. Our results evince that those interactions are not always evident and configure 'what is at stake' in mental suffering. The incorporation of cultural and structural determinants in collaborative care may enable the expansion of mental health initiatives sensitive to local needs and realities.
