Denise
St-Arnault - the Clinical Ethnographic Interview
Opening up
diagnoses to cultural difference
"Depression questionnaires were never set up for the world's population. They were set up in the West," says Denise Saint Arnault, professor in the the University of Michigan School of Nursing. For decades researchers have shown the degree to which there is cultural variation in the experience of mental illness, and yet clinicians continue to mostly ignore this fact in their practice. With a background in psychiatric nursing, Saint Arnault has developed what she hopes will be a pragmatic solution, the Clinical Ethnographic Interview. It encourages the opening up the diagnostic process so that patients can introduce the clinician to their own cultural frames and understandings. She talks us through the steps of the interview, which includes exercises to draw the patient's social networks, map out their body and sensations, and construct a lifeline.

Interpreters in Mental Health
"Working with interpreters has
enriched all my clinical work. What it has made me do is make me think about how
I construct my language, how I construct explanatory models of mental
health."
Rachel Tribe, Professor at the
School of Psychology at the University of East London talks about the benefits
and challenges involved in working with interpreters in mental health care. Dr.
Tribe's Guidelines for Working with Interpreters in Health Settings, published
