ABSTRACT This study examined the cross-cultural comparability of the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI: Morey, 1991) in Vietnam, employing a sample of 128 nonclinical Vietnamese native speakers and 53 bilingual Vietnamese/English speakers. The Vietnamese version demonstrated comparable internal consistency to that obtained in the original PAI US standardization sample, with Cronbach's αs ranging from .41 to .94 and similar trends in reliability across scales. Exploratory factor analysis yielded factors replicating components commonly obtained in prior studies of the PAI. Vietnamese-English bilingual subjects who completed both the Vietnamese adaption and the original PAI showed few differences in their responses across versions. The Vietnamese sample generally scored higher than the US standardization sample on the majority of PAI scales; however, none of these mean scores were elevated to levels of clinical significance. Covariance analyses suggested that a negative response style drove many of these differences, potentially indicating cultural differences in approaches to self-reporting emotional distress. Methodological limitations, potential mediating factors, and future research directions are discussed.

ABSTRACT A sense of hopelessness is common but under-identified among poor children in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Given the concomitant inadequate screening, assessment, and a lack of culturally and developmentally appropriate measures in much of SSA, identifying reliable and valid measures of hopelessness is needed. One promising candidate, the Beck Hopelessness Scale (BHS), has undergone limited evaluation in the region and none with non-adult populations. The present study assesses the psychometric properties of the BHS using data from a diverse sample of 3965 school-going youth (M = 12.2, SD = 1.1) in Kenya. Given inconclusive results from model comparisons of previously established factor structures, we used parallel analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis to ascertain the factor structure of the BHS in this sample. We also evaluated measurement invariance of the scale across two key developmental ages (9–12 and 13–18), given distinct cognitive and emotional differences. Models supported a one-factor 20-item structure with partial invariance across child and adolescent samples. Concurrent criterion validity correlations were in the small to medium range. Findings provide evidence of the utility of the BHS as a psychometrically sound measure that possesses cultural relevance to Kenyan youth.

ABSTRACT Psychiatry is evolving rapidly. Psychopathology needs a fundamentally new understanding of the accumulated facts. Information technologies are an extremely promising tool in this respect. Their implementation in the near future will not only radically change the organizational foundations of psychiatric care, but also enable the creation of new tools for diagnosing and correcting mental disorders. Analysis of existing theoretical controversies in the field of diagnostics, therapy and prevention of mental disorders provides evidence that the key scientific paradigms of psychiatry are changing. Development of scientific methodology is moving from the classical phenomenology of Jaspers to evidence-based medicine and criteria-based diagnostics, implemented in DSM-III and ICD-10. Further progress will, in all likelihood, be associated with the development of new methods based on information science which will be supplemented by the principles of system-based and functional analysis. This will make it possible to implement integrated bio-psycho-social programmes in the prevention and treatment of mental disorders.

ABSTRACT This study examines negative consequences of promotion of unhealthy beauty standards for the mental health of young people. The article provides the review of literature on the effects of promotion of unhealthy beauty standards in cyberspace on eating disorders and narcissistic attitudes, the role of fashion dolls in the formation of unhealthy physical beauty standards, as well as the research into dissatisfaction with appearance and physical perfectionism at a young age. Vygotsky’s cultural-historical theory of cognitive development serves as a framework to describe the mechanisms by which young people form perceptions of physical attractiveness and attitudes toward their body. The article presents results of two studies conducted by authors. The first study demonstrates internalization of unhealthy beauty standards among preschool-aged Russian girls using the original experimental method ‘Choose a doll’. The other shows significantly higher levels of dissatisfaction with own body and physical perfectionism in young men and women living in big cities compared to their peers from large provincial towns and identifies high level of parental criticism and other communication dysfunction in families as a significant predictor of physical perfectionism in children. The authors conclude that social factors play an important role in the formation of unhealthy standards of physical attractiveness among children and young people.

ABSTRACT The history of Russian psychiatry goes back many centuries. Since time immemorial, insane people in Russia lived in monasteries. In 1760, two special asylums were opened. The year 1824 saw the opening of the psychiatric department in St. Petersburg. The first written work appeared in 1825 (Solntsev’s thesis on hypochondria). European psychiatry has influenced the development of Russian psychiatry. Magnan visited Russia repeatedly; Korsakov, Bekhterev, Serbsky were regularly published in foreign psychiatric journals. The names of Kandinsky and Clerambault were joined forever in the syndrome title for mental automatism [Morozov, P. V. (2014b). From psychopathology – To biological correlates (Kandinsky-Clerambault Syndrome). Dynamic Psychiatry, 47(2–3), 182–194.]. Prior to the 1917 revolution, psychiatric legislation in Russia closely followed French law. A new law focusing on the development of outpatient service networks and free medical care, including free medication, was established. Later the influence of German and Swiss psychiatry increased. The Gannushkin school paid more attention to borderline psychiatry; the Snezhnevsky school focused on the study of schizophrenia. The last years are characterized by the consequences of the new law, the restructuring of mental health services, deinstitutionalization and the transition to a bio-psychosocial model; the formation of multi-disciplinary teams helps the growing numbers of outpatient psychiatric and psychological services at general hospitals. Underfunding of psychiatry is the main problem today.
俄罗斯精神病学的历史可以追溯到许多世纪以前。自古以来,俄罗斯的疯子就住在修道院里。1760年,开设了两所特殊收容所。1824年,圣彼得堡开设了精神科。第一部书面作品出现在1825年(索尔采夫关于疑病症的论文)。欧洲精神病学影响了俄罗斯精神病学的发展。马格南多次访问俄罗斯;Korsakov, Bekhterev, Serbsky定期在国外精神病学期刊上发表文章。康定斯基和克莱兰博特的名字永远地结合在心理自动性的综合征名称中[Morozov, P. V. (2014b)]。从精神病理学到生物学相关性(Kandinsky-Clerambault综合征)。精神病学杂志,47(2-3),182-194。在1917年革命之前,俄国的精神病学立法紧跟法国法律。制定了一项新的法律,重点是发展门诊服务网络和免费医疗,包括免费药品。后来,德国和瑞士精神病学的影响增加了。甘努什金学派更关注边缘精神病学;斯涅日涅夫斯基学派专注于精神分裂症的研究。过去几年的特点是新法律的实施、精神保健服务的重组、非机构化和向生物-社会心理模式过渡;组建多学科小组有助于综合医院提供越来越多的门诊精神病和心理服务。精神病学的资金不足是当今的主要问题。

ABSTRACT The practice of psychosocial intervention for schizophrenia patients is dominated by cognitive–behavioural techniques. There is good justification for this on the basis of the empirical evidence, which speaks in favour of the efficacy of these approaches. Deficits in neurocognition and poor social skills in patients are considered the main targets of psychiatric rehabilitation programmes. However, there are research findings that suggest that distorted social motivation in the form of social anhedonia affects social cognition in schizophrenia patients. The authors describe a compound model of social cognition that includes its motivational component. The model rests on methodological assumptions of the Vygotskian Cultural-Historical Theory of Development, including that of the unity of intellectual and affective processes. The authors review the history of research into cognitive deficits in schizophrenia based on this assumption, and also the most recent empirical evidence confirming that social anhedonia contributes significantly to the impaired social cognition in schizophrenia. The authors conclude that rehabilitation programmes for schizophrenia patients must include psychosocial interventions focused on the remediation of social cognition impairment by means of techniques targeting the remediation of social motivation deficits.

ABSTRACT Models obtained at the population level evaluate the impact of socio-economic, medical and demographic factors on the dynamics of the main indicators (prevalence, incidence, level of suicides) of mental health among the Russian population in the period 1992–2014. The article provides a qualitative interpretation of the dynamics of indicators of mental health among the Russian population. The models developed can be used for the planning of health and social programmes in the field of mental health.
