“…Parental SES was assessed in 1975, 1983, and 1985-1986 as a standardized sum of (a) maternal and paternal years of education, (b) maternal and paternal occupational status, and (c) family income (Hollingshead & Reidlich, 1958). In this study, we employed the SES score from 1985-1986, when offspring were an average of 16 years of age.…”

An unselected sample of 543 children was followed over 20 years to test the independent effects of parenting, exposure to domestic violence between parents (ETDV), maltreatment, adolescent disruptive behavior disorders, and emerging adult substance abuse disorders (SUDs) on the risk of violence to and from an adult partner. Conduct disorder (CD) was the strongest risk for perpetrating partner violence for both sexes, followed by ETDV, and power assertive punishment. The effect of child abuse was attributable to these 3 risks. ETDV conferred the greatest risk of receiving partner violence; CD increased the odds of receiving partner violence but did not mediate this effect. Child physical abuse and CD in adolescence were strong independent risks for injury to a partner. SUD mediated the effect of adolescent CD on injury to a partner but not on injury by a partner. Prevention implications are highlighted.

“…Both Gurin et al (1960) and Hollingshead and Redlich (1958) found that the psychiatric professions were disproportionately preferred by those of higher education and income, whereas clergy were used about evenly by all income groups as well as all educational groups. Perhaps through the effective use of clergy, community mental health programs will be more able to serve the mental health needs of all socioeconomic levels as well as the "various difficult groups that are likely to fall between the stools of current programs" (Smith & Hobbs, 1966, p. 505).…”

“…Pastors (as well as other community caregivers) refer relatively few of the individuals whom they could refer (Cumming & Harrington, 1963;Gurin, et al, 1960;Hollingshead & Redlich, 1958). Bentz (1967) studied the relationship between the educational background of ministers and their role in counseling, prevention, and referral.…”

“…These patterns -of concentration of particular types of disorder in particular parts of towns and cities -have long been recognised, and are often relatively stable over many years (Faris & Dunham, 1939;Hollingshead & Redlich, 1958;Srole et al 1962;Boydell et al 2001;March et al 2008;Hatch et al 2011). Initially understood as arising from the exigencies of metropolitan life itself, in the second half of the 20th century, the high levels of particular psychiatric diagnoses in certain areas of cities came to be understood in terms of 'urban drift' -those with propensities to mental illness found their way into the less salubrious urban areas.…”

Psychiatry is in one of its regular crises. It is a crisis of its diagnostic systems despite -perhaps because -of the recurrent claims about the extent of diagnosable 'brain disorders'. It is a crisis of its explanatory systems despite -perhaps because -of its current wager on the brain as the ultimate locus for explanations of mental disorders. It is a crisis of its therapeutic capacities despite -perhaps because -more and more people are making use of its primary mode of intervention focussed on the brain -psychiatric drugs. In this editorial, I will suggest that this triple crisis of diagnosis, explanation and therapeutics arises from the dominant reductionist approaches to the role of neurobiology in psychiatry that priorities the analysis of brain mechanisms, at the expense of an understanding of the whole living organism in its milieu, and the processes which social experience shapes neurobiology from the moment of conception if not before. I shall suggest a different approach that starts from the experience of persons coping with adversity in their forms of life. This approach does not require giving up on our search for plausible explanations of mental health problems that engage neurobiological mechanisms, but it begins from a commitment to understanding, and hence intervening in, the ways in which social adversity shapes and blights the lives of so many of our fellow citizens.
