Background: Due to the high disease burden, the early onset and often long-term trajectories mental disorders are among the most widespread diseases with growing significance. The German Center for Mental Health (DZPG) was established to enhance research conditions and expedite the translation of clinically relevant findings into practice. Objective: The aim of the DZPG is to optimize mental healthcare in Germany, influence modifiable social causes and to develop best practice models of care for vulnerable groups. It seeks to promote mental health and resilience, combat the stigmatization associated with mental disorders, and contribute to the enhancement of treatment across all age groups. Material and methods: The DZPG employs a translational research program that accelerates the translation of basic research findings into clinical studies and general practice. University hospitals and outpatient departments, other university disciplines, and extramural research institutions are working together to establish a collaboratively coordinated infrastructure for accelerated translation and innovation. Research priorities: The research areas encompass 1) the interaction of somatic and mental risk and resilience factors and disorders across the lifespan, 2) influencing relevant modifiable environmental factors and 3) based on this personalized prevention and intervention. Conclusion: The DZPG aims to develop innovative preventive and therapeutic tools that enable an improvement in care for individuals with mental disorders. It involves a comprehensive integration of experts with experience at all levels of decision-making and employs trilogue and participatory approaches in all research projects. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aim: Stigmatization by healthcare workers poses a challenge to providing care to the mentally ill. Bedside teaching during undergraduate medical education offers students an opportunity to directly interact with patients with a range of psychiatric disorders and thereby gather reflective experience. The present study investigates if this supervised contact with mentally ill patients during a one-week clinical course on psychosomatic medicine leads to stigma reduction in medical students. The factors influencing stigmatization were also investigated. Method: This was a prospective, non-randomized, controlled interventional study done in the 2019/20 winter semester involving fourth-year medical students who attended a week-long practical block on psychosomatic medicine (intervention group). This group was compared to students who had attended a week-long practical block with a somatic focus during the same time period (control group). Stigmatization was measured before and immediately upon completion of the week using the MICA-4 scale. Data on age, sex, experience with the mentally ill, interest in psychiatry/psychosomatics, and sense of self-worth were also gathered prior to starting the practical block. Analysis of the sample of 143 students with a complete basic data set was carried out using mixed ANOVA, multiple linear regression and moderator analysis. Results: In the context of clinical teaching with psychiatric patients, the stigmatization of the mentally ill among medical students decreased significantly more in the intervention group compared to the students in the control group who received instruction on somatic topics (p=.019, η2 p =.04). In addition, being female, having previous experience with the mentally ill and general interest in the subjects of psychiatry or psychosomatics at T 0 associated with lower stigma. In contrast, stigmatization was increased at the beginning of the study in males and those with low self-esteem. A moderating effect of the factors on stigma reduction was not seen. Conclusion: Undergraduate clinical instruction that enables direct contact and reflective experiences with the mentally ill leads to a reduction in the stigmatizing attitudes held by medical students toward the mentally ill. This underscores the need to have practical clinical instruction using patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In social discourse, schizophrenia (ies) are still strongly associated with prejudices and stigmas that are characterized by irrationality and emotionality. Affected persons are confronted – besides their symptomatic burdens – with social dynamics of devaluation and isolation. These processes, which lead to stigmatization, do not only take place in the contact between the environment and the person with the diagnosis, but can also have effects on the individual self-reference of the person concerned. This article therefore focuses on mechanisms of self-stigmatization and examines the extent to which public stigmatization and attributions can be reflected in the self-reference of individuals. With the help of interviews, it was possible, on the one hand, to identify the social sphere of responsibility with regard to (self-)stigmatization. (Self-)stigmatization represents a profound social injustice towards those affected. On the other hand, the view emerged that self-stigmatization can be understood as a continuum rather than a clearly delimitable phenomenon with categorizable reactions [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Christiane Reineckes herausragende Monografie Die Ungleichheit der Städte analysiert, wie in Frankreich und Deutschland in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts mit urbanen Problemzonen umgegangen wurde. Entstanden ist eine beeindruckende kritische Stadtgeschichte, die man auch als Plädoyer an die Stadtforschungsdisziplin zu mehr Selbstreflexion lesen kann. So sind es neben Kommunalpolitiker_innen und Aktivist_innen ausgerechnet Sozialwissenschaftler_innen, die im Zentrum von Reineckes vergleichender Analyse stehen – und deren Rolle sich als weit mehr als nur die des_der außenstehenden Beobachter_in herausstellt.

Das Quartier am Mehringlatz in Berlin-Kreuzberg ist seit vielen Jahren einer immensen Stigmatisierung ausgesetzt. Die Diskurse rund um den Stadtteil zeichnen sich durch eine (Re‑)Produktion rassistischer und diskriminierender Bilder aus. Diese ignorieren soziale Ungleichheiten und strukturelle Benachteiligungen infolge gesellschaftlicher Machtverhältnisse. Vor allem die Kinder und Jugendlichen aus dem Stadtteil werden dabei eigenen Repräsentationen beraubt. Daher bleiben ihnen kaum Möglichkeiten, die vorgefertigten Bilder und die ihr innewohnende Gewalt aufzubrechen. Der vorliegende Beitrag geht der Frage nach, welche Strategien die Kinder und Jugendlichen im Umgang mit diesen Darstellungen des Quartiers entwickeln und wie sie diesen für sie so wichtigen Raum selbst wahrnehmen. Der Artikel basiert auf den Ergebnissen einer ethnographischen Studie.

Pedophilia becomes a pedophilic disorder if the person acts upon his/her pedophilic sexual fantasies or feels distressed by these fantasies or urges. The majority of research is focused on the risk of pedophilic persons acting upon their fantasies by having sexual contacts with children or using child sexual exploitation materials. There is, however, a group of pedophilic individuals who present a low risk for sexual transgressions but but contact the prevention project Dunkelfeld (PPD) because of feelings of distress due to their pedophilia. The present article aims to shed light on this specific non-offending group by addressing the associated factors that lead to psychological distress in pedophilic individuals. In addition, a man in this subgroup describes the distress associated with his pedophilia. Lastly, the article describes the therapeutic approach used with this group and provides data on their quality of life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article describes the theoretical and conceptional background and the objectives of patient recruitment and health communication strategies applied in the prevention network Kein Täter werden (don't offend), which aims to reach people with pedophilia/hebephilia who are unknown to the justice system. The methodology, contents, and channels for influencing the participation in the preventive-therapeutic program are explained through practical examples. Furthermore, results are presented, and opportunities for further development are discussed against the background of the characteristics of the patient population reached. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
