“…A total of 6609 records were excluded through title and abstract screening. Excluded studies focused on medical stigma (Al-Hazmi, 2015 ; Cacioppo & Gardner, 1993 ; Collins, 2006 ), topics only loosely related to mental health and illness, like well-being (Aggarwal & Sriram, 2018 ), classification issues (Casey et al, 2013 ) or the continuum within categories of specific mental disorders (Andrulonis, Glueck, Stroebel, & Vogel, 1982 ). A total of 117 full text articles were retrieved for further consideration, of which 84 records were discarded ( Fig.…”

Background Promulgating a continuum model of mental health and mental illness has been proposed as a way to reduce stigma by decreasing notions of differentness. This systematic review and meta-analysis examines whether continuum beliefs are associated with lower stigma, and whether continuum interventions reduce stigma. Methods Following a pre-defined protocol (PROSPERO: CRD42019123606), we searched three electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO) yielding 6726 studies. After screening, we included 33 studies covering continuum beliefs, mental illness, and stigma. Of these, 13 studies were included in meta-analysis. Results Continuum beliefs are consistently associated with lower stigma. Interventions were effective at manipulating continuum beliefs but differ in their effects on stigmatising attitudes. Conclusions We discuss whether and to what extent attitudes towards people with mental illness can be improved by providing information on a mental health-mental illness continuum. It appeared to be relevant whether interventions promoted a feeling of ‘us’ and a process of identification with the person with mental illness. We discuss implications for the design of future interventions.

“…Thus, Keyes' model of complete mental health consists of both hedonic and eudaimonic components of well-being encompassing emotional, psychological and social wellbeing (Keyes, 2002). In India, the model has been used to examine the mediating role of gratitude on well-being (Sharma & Singh, 2019) and to study the mental health and well-being of adolescents , school-going children , mental health professionals (Aggarwal & Sriram, 2018) and among the caregivers of orphan and separated children (Keyes et al, 2021). The authors have not come across any study that uses the complete model of mental health to examine wellbeing in the capacity of caste, gender and their interactions.…”

Psychological research has a paucity of studies on caste and well-being. Existing literature on caste has extensively focused on pathological conditions in rural areas. In contrast, individuals who experience vulnerabilities in urban areas at the intersections of caste and gender identities are still underrepresented in the research literature on the psychology of well-being. The present study recognises this gap in research and explores the interaction of caste and gender on life satisfaction and well-being in urban areas. On administering the Satisfaction with Life Scale and Mental Health Continuum-short form to a sample of 465 young adults, the results revealed significant caste differences in both life satisfaction and well-being. The findings highlight that general caste individuals have higher life satisfaction and well-being than scheduled caste individuals. The findings also indicate significant gender differences in life satisfaction, with women having higher life satisfaction than men across caste groups. Results revealed no interaction effect between caste and gender. Consistent with earlier studies, the results on caste suggest that despite its discourses of diminishing importance, especially in urban areas, caste does play a significant role in an individual's well-being and life satisfaction. Hence, the findings have implications for policy-making, education, and training to understand caste-based experiences better.

The present paper draws from the authors' experiences while working on an interdisciplinary research project that examined the mental health of prisoners sentenced to death in India. In this paper, the authors share a few narratives to illustrate the positive and negative impacts of clinical supervision that they received during their association with this project. Specifically, the authors discuss the impact of a range of resources such as supervisors' theoretical orientation, prior work experience, use of culturally sensitive tools on the skill development, and the mental health of trainees, especially in an Indian organizational context. This paper also highlights the role of clinical supervisors in guiding mental health trainees through various ethical dilemmas, with particular emphasis on the research related to incarcerated populations. Lastly, the authors draw attention to the problems of conducting multidisciplinary clinical research in developing nations such as India and discuss the means to overcome them. The paper concludes with implications for clinical supervisors in the field of forensic mental health who want to undertake research and clinical work on a similar topic in the future.
