“…Furthermore, we emphasize the importance of using arts-based methods as a tool to collect sensitive data from adolescents and young adults. As described in previous studies [ 54 , 55 ], collecting sensitive data with some populations such as adolescents can be challenging because it requires a long time to deepen into representations that do not arise easily using logic; therefore, the use of arts can be an alternative route to access a wide array of thoughts and experiences. This method also led us to innovative findings on the understanding of depression and anxiety representations, which we did not find in the available literature.…”

Background: Arts-based methodologies can be beneficial to identify different representations of stigmatized topics such as mental health conditions. This study used a theater-based workshop to describe manifestations, representations, and potential causes of depression and anxiety as perceived by adolescents and young adults. Methods: The theater company Teatro La Plaza conducted three online sessions with a group of adolescents and another with a group of young adults from Lima, Peru. The artistic outputs, which included images, similes, monologues, and narrations, were used to describe the experiences of depression and anxiety symptoms following a content analysis using posteriori categories. Results: Seventeen participants joined the sessions. The artistic outputs showed: physical, behavioral, cognitive, and emotional manifestations of depression and anxiety; a perception that both disorders have a cyclical nature; and an awareness that it is often difficult to notice symptom triggers. The mandatory social isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic was highlighted as an important symptom trigger, mostly linked to anxiety. Conclusions: The findings are consistent with the literature, especially with regard to the manifestations, representations, and potential causes that trigger depression and anxiety. Using arts-based methods allowed adolescents and young adults to expand the articulation of their representations of mental disorders.

“…Our overarching methodological framework was phenomenology (Maso 2001;Moustakas 1994;Van Manen 2016). We used qualitative methods that we have used previously in our work on healing (Rahtz et al 2019). These include recorded, in-depth interviews (n=33 people), focus groups (n=10 pairs or groups), and pictorial representations of what people thought was happening to them in Lourdes (n=19 pictures).…”

“…In English, the word can be used variably, as a verb, a noun, or an adjective. As authors, we think of healing as a positive change towards a state of greater integration of mind/body/soul, as a journey, and as a process that leads to more harmony and wellness, as well as to our being able to function more fully, and to flourish (Dieppe et al 2015;Rahtz, Warber and Dieppe 2019;Scott et al 2017). We were interested to see if healing, thought of in this way, was something that might be promoted by visits to Lourdes.…”

This book explores how people draw upon spiritual, religious, or faith-based practices to support their mental wellness amidst forms of chronicity. From diverse global contexts and spiritual perspectives, this volume critically examines several chronic conditions, such as psychosis, diabetes, depression, oppressive forces of colonization and social marginalization, attacks of spirit possession, or other forms of persistent mental duress.As an inter-and transdisciplinary collection, the chapters include innovative ethnographic observations and over 300 in-depth interviews with care providers and individuals living in chronicity, analyzed primarily from the phenomenological and hermeneutic meaningmaking traditions. Overall, this book depicts a modern global era in which spiritualty and religion maintain an important role in many peoples' lives, underscoring a need for increased awareness, intersectoral collaboration, and practical training for varied care providers.This book will be of interest to scholars of religion and health, the sociology and psychology of religion, medical and psychological anthropology, religious studies, and global health studies, as well as applied health and mental health professionals in psychology, social work, physical and occupational therapy, cultural psychiatry, public health, and medicine.

The urbanization process in Namlea village is a consequence of the change in the administrative status of Buru regency into a district. The phenomenon of change affects the social economic life of the community, such as kinship patterns and interaction patterns that shift from homegenous to heterogeneous traits. The research location focuses on the village of Namlea in consideration of changes in community structure and the reduction of agricultural land. The number of informers interviewed were as many as farmers, village apparatus, religious figures, community leaders as well as traders. Analytical techniques used to follow the concept of Miles and Huberman where activities in the analysis of qualitative data are conducted interactively and continuously. The results showed that the urbanization process has brought about the impact of changes in the fulfillment of life needs in which life orientation shifts from agriculture to nonagriculture. Diversification is the basis for increasing the value of land selling and the limitation of agricultural products as a result of the increasing number of needs that are not followed by the improvement of land resources and agricultural products.
