“…While the similarity of the condition across cultures means that commonalities outweigh differences (O'Driscoll et al, 2019; Sadath et al, 2019), adherent FIp should always be uniquely tailored to the culture of the family and its constituent members, holding this front and centre. Recent drives to develop and evaluate ‘culturally‐adapted’ approaches (Edge et al, 2018), modifying psychoeducation resources, routes to access and emphasising collaboration and a personal recovery focus, while welcome, are a solution to non‐adherent delivery, and again, controlled evaluation of access, retention and outcomes, alongside adherence to the principle of accommodation to the culture of the family, is indicated (Paul et al, 2020).…”

PurposeIt is a half‐century since the coalescence of social psychiatry and systemic family therapy approaches started to inform condition‐specific therapeutic work with families to reduce relapse and hospital readmission for people with schizophrenia. Today, family interventions are a cornerstone of international guidelines for the treatment of psychosis, and of workforce development initiatives. Effect sizes for clinical and economic outcomes are large, and the evidence base is robust and reliable, not only for outcomes but also for the underpinning theoretical models, which are coherent and consistent. Few, if any, psychological therapies, have so powerful a framework to drive widespread implementation. Nevertheless, delivery in clinical services is variable, often lagging behind that of individual cognitive behavioural therapy, notwithstanding its considerably weaker implementation framework. Our aim in this article is to formulate this translation failure and offer potential solutions.MethodWe summarise the model/intervention and supporting evidence, then consider why delivery remains problematic.ResultsWe highlight the inter‐linked issues of conceptual confusion between and conflation of, different approaches to working with families; of addressing diagnostic uncertainty, complex comorbidity and adapting interventions for specific populations; and of translation from gold‐standard research trial practice, through educational curricula and training programmes, to routine delivery in frontline services.ConclusionWe present our view of clinical, research and workforce development priorities to address these issues and continue the collective effort, moving into the next half‐century, to work more effectively with people with psychosis and their families, to further improve outcomes.

“…China, the world's most populous nation, faced significant MH challenges during COVID-19 [ 6 ]. Despite recent efforts to promote MH, the lack of resources continues to pose barriers to effective MH care in the country [ 7 ]. According to a study [ 8 ], students at Chinese higher education institutions had a higher occurrence of common MH problems, such as depression and anxiety.…”

“…Prior research has predominantly investigated adverse MH outcomes, namely examining mental disorders, mental diseases, and behavioral problems [ 14 ]. Nevertheless, the potential of emphasizing positive MH to promote and enhance overall mental well-being remains unexplored [ 7 , 15 ]. This is like not just concentrating on curing a sickness but also making sure to eat healthy and exercise to prevent getting sick in the first place.…”

Emerging consensus among enactivist philosophers and embodied mind theorists suggests that seeking to understand mental illness we need to look out of our skulls at the ecology of the brain. Still, the complex links between materiality (in broadest sense of material objects, habits, practices and environments) and mental health remain little understood. This paper discusses the benefits of adopting a material engagement approach to embodied and enactive psychiatry. We propose that the material engagement approach can change the geography of the debate over the nature of mental disorders and through that help to develop theoretical and practical insights that could improve management and treatment for various psychiatric conditions. We investigate the potential role of Material Engagement Theory (MET) in psychiatry using examples of aetiologically different mental illnesses (schizophrenia and dementia) in respect of their shared phenomenological manifestations, focusing particularly on issues of memory, self-awareness, embodiment and temporality. The effective study of socio-material relations allows better understanding of the semiotic significance and agency of specific materials, environments and technical mediations. There is unrealised potential here for creating new approaches to treatment that can broaden, challenge or complement existing interventions and practices of care.
