Workshops

Working with Culture: Clinical Methods in Cultural Psychiatry
J. Guzder & C. Rousseau

This workshop for mental health practitioners provides an overview of clinical models and methods in cultural psychiatry. Topics include: working with translators and culture brokers; attending to culture, ethnicity, racism and power in individual and family interventions with migrants and ethnocultural minorities; how cultural work transforms the therapist; ethical issues in intercultural work; strategies for working in different settings including schools, community organizations and refugee immigration boards. Invited lecturers will frame the basic issues of clinical intervention through the paradigms of cultural voices and languages of symptoms, art, and play. The clinical intersection of healer, culture, diagnosis, and therapy will be approached by a review of developmental theories, identity, and life-cycle variations in migrant or minority experience.

The McGill Illness Narrative Interview (MINI)

We will also cover the potential links with the concepts and values of Person-Centered Medicine. The workshop will discuss ways to adapt the MINI to study issues involving health behavior, bodily practices, illness, diseases, somatic and emotional symptoms. Participants will practice the MINI in one-on-one interviews and learn ways to code and analyze qualitative data produced with the MINI.

Global Mental Health Research
M. Ruiz-Casares & Faculty

This workshop provides an introduction to key issues in global mental health (GMH) research with special reference to low and middle-income countries (LMICs). We will explore the tensions between a vertical public health approach, grounded in a biomedical frame and current evidence-based practices, and a horizontal community-based approach, that emphasizes local taxonomies and priorities, empowerment of local resources and endogenous solutions. This seminar will build a cultural critique of GMH and raise basic issues for discussion: (a) current priorities in GMH research have been largely framed by mental health professionals and their institutional partners based in Northern countries, reflecting the dominant interests of psychiatry and paying insufficient attention to Southern partners and local priorities; (b) the assumption in GMH that major psychiatric disorders are biologically determined and therefore universal; (c) the focus on existing evidence-based treatments, and the assumption that Western standard treatments can be readily applied across cultures with minimal adaptation; and (d) the emphasis on GMH interventions that may marginalize indigenous forms of healing and coping which may contribute to positive outcomes and recovery. The workshop aims to provide a balanced critical perspective on GMH as a new field of enquiry and practice that acknowledges the importance of the social determinants of mental health and the interplay between the social and the cultural with the biological dimensions of mental health. The format includes lectures, panel presentations, case studies and plenary discussions of readings by faculty and students, supplemented by video documentaries and films. Sponsored by the McGill Global Mental Health Program.

Trauma Therapy and Intersectionality
Z. Thomas & Guest Faculty

Trauma is highly prevalent, especially in marginalized communities that have faced intergenerational oppression. In this workshop, a group of trauma therapists from the Jewish General Hospital at McGill University and Women’s College Hospital in Toronto will explore the complexities of providing culturally sensitive trauma therapy to individuals from diverse backgrounds. We will outline trauma dynamics and interventions. Using clinical examples, we will then unpack how Western trauma therapy models may not apply to all clients, and examine potential adaptations. We will also discuss strategies to build cohesiveness in group therapy settings through dialogue, while honoring differences. We will present a self-reflexive model that we developed in our program to highlight the interface between trauma and intersectionalities in the group setting. This day-long workshop will combine didactics, clinical vignettes, interactive activities and group discussion.

Critical Neuroscience
S. Choudhury & Faculty

This workshop provides an overview of current controversies surrounding cognitive neuroscience and the implications of recent advances in research for psychiatry, education, bioethics, and health policy. It will present the interdisciplinary project of critical neuroscience as a framework and set of tools with which to critically analyze interpretations of neuroscience data in the academic literature, their representation in popular domains and more broadly, the growth of neurocultures since the Decade of the Brain. This course will problematize and consider alternatives to neurobiological reductionism in psychiatry, neuroethics, cultural neuroscience and neuropolicy, attending to the models, metaphors and political contexts of mainstream brain research. It will also explore various avenues for engagement between neuroscience, social science and humanities. Sessions will be devoted to: critical methods; methodological problems in neuroscience; cultural neuroscience, social determinants of health; psychiatry, neuroeducation; mindfulness; and neuroethics.

Social and Cultural Neuroscience
L. Kirmayer, S. Kitayama, M. Meaney, C. Worthman & Guest Faculty

Co-sponsored by the Foundation for Psychocultural Research (www.thefpr.org) and the McGill Healthy Brains for Healthy Lives Program (www.mcgill.ca/hbhl). This workshop will provide an overview of core topics and recent developments in social, and cultural neuroscience research in order to promote cross-disciplinary collaboration in global mental health. After an introduction to cognitive, social, and cultural neuroscience, the workshop will focus on the potential and limits of methods that can be used to measure epigenetic, neuroendocrine, and neurocognitive processes in laboratory and field settings. We will discuss the inter-relationships of these processes and how to map them onto phenomenological, ethnographic, and ecological variables through technologies including remote sensing techniques that capture health-relevant aspects of sociocultural contexts in situ. Participants will also have the opportunity to present their own research projects for discussion with faculty.

Art and Healing
J. Guzder & Guest Faculty

This workshop will focus on clinical, theoretical, research, and community engagement issues on the use of art in transcultural psychiatry. Invited faculty will elaborate on clinically relevant theory, practice and experiential learning. Presentations will promote reflection on arts—including theatre, visual arts, music, and dance—as an applied and emerging aspect of healing both historically and in contemporary contexts relevant to clinical practice, global mental health, and research in social and cultural psychiatry. Faculty include an international roster of clinicians working with the arts with people with severe mental illness, youth at risk, as well as indigenous and migrant groups.

Date: June 17 - 20, 2019 (24 hours) M•T•W•Th 09:00-17:00
Location: TBA

Indigenous Mental Health Research
L. Kirmayer & Guest Faculty

This workshop will survey recent work on the social determinants of mental health and discuss issues in the design and implementation of culturally appropriate mixed-methods research with Indigenous communities and populations. The emphasis will be on conceptual issues and the development of research methodology to address both common and severe mental health problems and interventions. Specific topics will include: ethical issues in Indigenous health research; social, historical and transgenerational determinants of mental health; the role of indigenous identity in mental health, resilience and well-being; suicide prevention and mental health promotion; participatory research methods; evaluation of community-based mental health services; culturally-adapted interventions; and indigenous approaches to healing.
