A new frontier in teaching for me ... After university students, psychiatrists (podcasts), tourists, prisoners and (hardest of all) young children I am now involved in instructing my own demographic in the active meditation of Tai Chi.
Always had trouble explaining madness in ancient medicine (humours, hysteria etc) to students in medical terms. Dawned on me reading Robin Fox, Invention of Medicine that the model was framed by philosophers of 5th century BCE, not medics.
Interesting that some SPS and privately run prisons have a mental health occupational therapist because I can't remember encountering one in the 5 where I have lectured to prisoners on the history of psychiatry. #occupationaltherapy @scottishprisons bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…
This should be a valuable project that will provide some hard evidence about the lived experience of early asylum patients which will flesh out the more generalised (and sometimes sensationalist) accounts.

The use of activities to promote good mental health and assist recovery originated in some 'lunatic asylums' of the later c18 and was fully developed in most during the c19. It was an integral therapy for tractable patients rather than a niche add-on.

This is a fantastic initiative with which everyone interested in #mentalhealth should be involved.

Most women in the Criminal Lunatic Department of Perth Prison in Victorian times were filicides. I'll look forward to reading this. Have a listen to the free resources around 'Prisoners or Patients?' arts.st-andrews.ac.uk/psychhist/

This is Betty Dillon, later Craik, Cadet Nurse at Ladyfield East in the late '50s. May Houliston, later Boyle, introduced the Cadet model to Crichton, for young women of 15/16, working with young people. Many continued careers in nursing. Photo credit: Michael Dillon #HistNursing
I'm the geezer in the trews getting a gong from HM King Charles III. This will be the last photo I'll post about this. Promise.
Delighted to receive my MBE from King Charles III today at sunny Holyrood House, Edinburgh. He was chatty and the whole event well-organised by charming people. Shame we were rained out at the garden party the day before (but the grub was good)!
Midges love me, alas. What is your favourite repellent? Is it true that the manufacturers of SkinSoSoft have reintroduced the ingredient that used to make it so effective? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

Understanding the interpersonal and cultural context of mental health is vital because 'All psychiatry is social.' (Ventriglio et al) The context provided not only by personal case 'histories', but also by (social) history more broadly is a part of that understanding.

Last year we published our report, 'Racial inequality and mental health in Scotland: a call to action'. This closure report shows what actions we have taken since then: bit.ly/3AxCpPk
Today we published our mental health act monitoring report for 2021-22. It shows a slight drop in numbers of times people were detained in hospital against their will for mental health treatment, but we have concerns. Read more here: bit.ly/3FBDF7r
Yes, so-called useless subjects tell us who we are. They provide the vital context that we need to make the best use of the opportunities so-called useful subjects present to us. History, for example, is a form of art that shapes us as much as our DNA.

#MHM50 week 16: #WestRidingAsylum fire brigade. Started in 1871 the WRA fire brigade was originally run by staff & patients (who would have a bed on the ground floor to quickly help in an emergency). The brigade fit the hospital’s ethos of self-sufficiency & work to aid recovery.
The Crichton has a long tradition of therapeutic creativity. More recently, we have hosted a number of artists. In 1997 Rachel Mimiec engaged in workshops with patients and staff at the hospital, producing this thoughtful work in response (with apologies for the image quality)
