Death and dying: implications for inpatient, psychiatric care.

Under a traditional medical model, discussion of issues related to death and dying are usually avoided with clients who hold a psychiatric diagnosis. Too often the result is that individuals in inpatient, psychiatric facilities are left to face grief without emotional or spiritual support. With its focus on the individual, family, and community involvement, and fostering independence, the psychosocial model affords an opportunity to change how mental health professionals address the topic of death. In this article the authors give practical suggestions for working with clients who are dying or who have experienced the death of a loved one. Two case studies are used to illustrate how these ideas can be translated into action.

Homophobia: a challenge for psychosocial nursing.

1. In 1975, the American Psychological Association stated that homosexuality was not a disorder and that homophobia was a form of prejudice based on stereotypes. 2. Because homophobia, like racism or sexism, is learned, it can be unlearned. 3. People who feel homosexuality is a choice hold more negative attitudes toward individuals who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered. 4. Homophobia not only damages individuals who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered, but also limits heterosexuals by locking them into rigid gender-based roles.

Art therapy. Enhancing psychosocial nursing.

1. The creative process can be a means of reconciling conflicts and increasing awareness. 2. Art provides a permanent representation of clients' internal states and reflects the changes seen in the therapeutic progression. 3. Many psychological states lend themselves to a much greater extent to graphic representation, as opposed to verbalization. 4. Art holds the potential for enhancing the quality of therapy for clients by increasing expression and facilitating insight.
