Beatrice Birch – Inner Fire and Soul Health www.madinamerica.com/2020/03/beatrice-birch-inner-fire-soul-health/James Moore www.letstalkwithdrawal.comJames Moore has experienced the psychiatric system and psychiatric drugs firsthand following a stress-related breakdown. Believing himself to be fundamentally broken, he spent many years on psychiatric drugs before awakening to the reality that psychiatry has few answers for human difficulties. James produces and hosts the Mad in America podcast, in which he interviews experts and those with lived experience to challenge some common misconceptions about psychiatry, psychiatric drugs and the bio medical model. www.madinamerica.com/author/jmoore/

i see a certain aspect of truth in everything - it makes sense that we are effected at biological / psychogenic / sociological & what can be considered to be soul / spiritual levels - mind, body, soul, spirit & environment. It would make sense to me to have a society / system - fully integrated health & social care services that reflect this integral view / model.
In a way all the different disciplines already reflect all these areas - they are just fragmented.

January 30, 2019by Mary Olson, PhD The History of the Open Dialogue Approach in the United States Presented at the World Open Dialogue Conference, Tokyo and Kyoto, Japan, February 2019. www.mentalhealthexcellence.org/the-history-of-the-open-dialogue-approach-in-the-united-states/“Open Dialogue”—a network approach to severe psychiatric crises developed at Keropudas Hospital in Tornio, Finland–first began to attract notable attention in the United States a decade ago, although many ideas and practices that influenced its evolution in Finland actually came from the US. In particular, the Finnish team refined and advanced elements of US family therapy. Among these US linkages are Gregory Bateson’s Palo Alto research on family communication (1952-1962); Ross Speck and Carolyn Attneave’s network therapy for schizophrenia that flourished in the late sixties at the Philadelphia Child Guidance Clinic, and Harry Goolishian and Harlene Anderson’s collaborative-language approach that emerged in the eighties at the Galveston Institute in Texas. While holding in mind that Open Dialogue is indebted to these and other US ancestors, this brief essay will focus on the recent wave of interest in the Finnish approach. Starting in the late 2000s, receptivity to Open Dialogue in the US seemed to appear alongside the emergence of new cultural contexts. They include (1) a growing and widespread disillusionment with a fragmented, overly medicalized, and often ineffective mental health system; (2) rising psychiatric disability rates; (3) theoretical and empirical challenges to biological psychiatry; and (4) the ascendant visibility and voice of the recovery movement that, established and led by ex-patients, has become broadly embraced by clinicians, researchers, funders, and administrators advocating for an entire system overhaul. At the same time, after studying the approach in Finland, I spearheaded two Open Dialogue initiatives in the US: a research study and a training program. The former eventually became the Open Dialogue Approach Implementation Study at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, ”UMMS,”(https://escholarship.umassmed.edu/pib/vol9/iss10/1/), 2012-2017, which, in turn, has germinated offshoots at Emory University in Atlanta, GA and the University of San Diego ,California (https://medschool.ucsd.edu/som/psychiatry/research/open-dialogue/Pages/default.aspx). In addition, I developed a training program, the Institute for Dialogic Practice, “IDP,” (www.dialogicpractice.net), now located in New York City, which has trained virtually all the team leaders (fully training many entire teams) and solo practitioners in the US currently using this approach, becoming now an international certification program for Open Dialogue. Rest in Link.

i wonder if comprehensive healing approaches for 'madness' will ever be standard?

A Disability of the Soul Karen Nakamura "Bethel House, located in a small fishing village in northern Japan, was founded in 1984 as an intentional community for people with schizophrenia and other psychiatric disorders. Using a unique, community approach to psychosocial recovery, Bethel House focuses as much on social integration as on therapeutic work. As a centerpiece of this approach, Bethel House started its own businesses in order to create employment and socialization opportunities for its residents and to change public attitudes toward the mentally ill, but also quite unintentionally provided a significant boost to the distressed local economy. Through its work programs, communal living, and close relationship between hospital and town, Bethel has been remarkably successful in carefully reintegrating its members into Japanese society. It has become known as a model alternative to long-term institutionalization. In A Disability of the Soul, Karen Nakamura explores how the members of this unique community struggle with their lives, their illnesses, and the meaning of community. Told through engaging historical narrative, insightful ethnographic vignettes, and compelling life stories, her account of Bethel House depicts its achievements and setbacks, its promises and limitations. A Disability of the Soul is a sensitive and multidimensional portrait of what it means to live with mental illness in contemporary Japan." disabilitystudies.jp/bethel/A Disability of the Soul An ethnography of schizophrenia and mental illness in Japan www.disability.jp/soul/
