Data-driven paper:
Redefining personality disorder: A Jamaican perspective
Frederick Hickling & Vanessa PaisleyCase-control study by a Jamaican psychiatrist 1974 to 2005 in a private Jamaican psychiatric practice assessed whether phenomenological features of personality disorder in Jamaican patients fit conventional DSM-IV personality disorder categories. Patients (n = 351) diagnosed with DSM IV Axis II personality disorder categories were matched for sex, age, and social class with acontrol group of patients without a diagnosis of personality disorder. M:F = 166 (47%):185 (53%); 50 (14%) white Caucasian; 301 (86%) black African-Jamaican; 293 (84%) born and raised in Jamaica; mean age 33.92, SD 10.236, with 202 (58%) from SEC I&II. Disaggregating the phenomenology, the conventional DSM IV personality disorder diagnoses disappeared. Factor analysis of 38 clinical phenomena identified 5 components; two indicated features of psychosis and major depression; three classified as power management; psychosexual issues; and physiological dependency. A t-test revealed patients without personality disorder had significantly higher mean scores for psychosis; both groups scored equally for depression; those with personality disorder had significantly higher mean scores on the remaining factors. The phenomena clustering into 3 major groups suggested an Axis I diagnostic disorder of inter and intra-personal power. The term Shakatani from the Swahili words shaka (problem) and tani (power) is proposed as a possible name for this revealed unitary condition.
Concept-driven paper
Cultural competence in the context of evidence-based medicine
Rob WhitleyCultural competence and evidence-based medicine are two powerful discourses that have become core components of contemporary psychiatry. Evidence-based medicine has particularly influenced psychiatry by spawning the enthusiastic creation and adoption of evidence-based practices. Despite their prominence, these paradigms have stood somewhat in isolation to each other. This paper explores the relationship between these two conceptual paradigms, paying
particular attention to implications for evidence-based practices. I aim to stimulate a greater degree of mutual engagement and integration of these paradigms by examining epistemological, philosophical and methodological overlap and discrepancy. I argue that both paradigms can stretch and enrich each other in a positive manner. This could help achieve a situation where cultural competency becomes more evidence-based and evidence-based medicine more culturally
competent.
