“…Social inequality results in intentional rejection with demotion to a powerless position in society: which severely restricts survivability (Albrecht, Devlieger, & Van Hove, 2009; Betts & Hinsz, 2013; Gerlach, 2015; Lynam & Cowley, 2007; Priebe et al, 2012; Stevens, Hall, & Meleis, 1992). This act of rejection is perpetuated through ideologies such as racism, classism, colonialism, and constrictive gender role norms perpetuated through mechanisms such as implicit bias, bullying, stigmatization (Van Den Tillaart, Kurtz, & Cash, 2009), scapegoating, residential segregation, mass incarceration, inequity in pay rates, disparities in unemployment rates, and lack of access to affordable healthcare services (Betts & Hinsz, 2013; Eliassen, Melhus, Hansen, & Broderstad, 2013). Thus, resulting in the restriction of participation in the use of social and health care services (Lous, Friis, Vinding, & Fonager, 2012; Priebe et al, 2012; Sanders & Munford, 2007).…”

Marginalization: Conceptualizing patient vulnerabilities in the framework of social determinants of health—An integrative review

Scientific advances in healthcare have been disproportionately distributed across social strata. Disease burden is also disproportionately distributed, with marginalized groups having the highest risk of poor health outcomes. Social determinants are thought to influence healthcare delivery and the management of chronic diseases among marginalized groups, but the current conceptualization of social determinants lacks a critical focus on the experiences of people within their environment. The purpose of this article is to integrate the literature on marginalization and situate the concept in the framework of social determinants of health. We demonstrate that social position links marginalization and social determinants of health. This perspective provides a critical lens to assess the societal power dynamics that influence the construction of the socio-environmental factors affecting health. Linking marginalization with social determinants of health can improve our understanding of the inequities in health care delivery and the disparities in chronic disease burden among vulnerable groups.

“…Treatment approaches have to bear in mind this identity pathology that has to be addressed in order to arrive at a long-lasting change of the disorder. The new psychotherapeutic approach Adolescent Identity Treatment (AIT); [15,39] has been developed to place identity pathology in the focus of treatment.…”

In the revised Diagnostic and Statistical Manual DSM-5 the definition of personality disorder diagnoses has not been changed from that in the DSM-IV-TR. However, an alternative model for diagnosing personality disorders where the construct “identity” has been integrated as a central diagnostic criterion for personality disorders has been placed in section III of the manual. The alternative model’s hybrid nature leads to the simultaneous use of diagnoses and the newly developed “Level of Personality Functioning-Scale” (a dimensional tool to define the severity of the disorder). Pathological personality traits are assessed in five broad domains which are divided into 25 trait facets. With this dimensional approach, the new classification system gives, both clinicians and researchers, the opportunity to describe the patient in much more detail than previously possible. The relevance of identity problems in assessing and understanding personality pathology is illustrated using the new classification system applied in two case examples of adolescents with a severe personality disorder.

“…Groups also often provide individuals with a sense of safety and invulnerability (Janis, 1982; Park & Hinsz, 2006), and if a “safety in numbers” belief is prevalent (Park & Hinsz, 2006), then belonging to a group should be related to feelings of security and reductions in distress. And since groups provide opportunities to satisfy various psychological needs (e.g., belongingness; Baumeister & Leary, 1995; Betts & Hinsz, 2013), reductions in negative mood are expected through need fulfillment.…”

The social interactions of task groups were investigated for their influences on member moods. Initially, participants’ received an induction of positive, negative, or neutral moods via listening to music that continued throughout the experimental session. Moods were measured after the induction. Students then made decisions on four choice dilemmas alone or as members of a four-person group. Subsequently, positive and negative moods were again measured. Positive moods of participants who worked with other group members on the task were sustained, but diminished for those working alone. Negative moods of participants working in groups diminished over time, but were sustained for those working individually. These results were interpreted in the context of motivational systems theory of group involvement (Park & Hinsz, 2006). Additionally, although there was a tendency for member moods to homogenize over assessments, this did not reach significance. Results document the affective benefits that often accompany task group interaction suggesting that group interaction has features of positive mood induction. This report highlights the need to consider social influences on affect in task settings so that group dynamics, processes, and behaviors can be better understood.
