The objective of this article is to critically reflect on the participation in community of people with a diagnosis of mental disorder from a human rights and community health perspective. Firstly, we review basic concepts such as community mental health and the meaning of participation, which is understood as an end and not as a mean. It is important to increase the participation of people with a diagnosis in community spaces beyond the classic circuit of mental health care. This implies to create and share knowledge in a collective, horizontal and consensual way among all the people involved, especially the diagnosed people themselves. Secondly, the experience of the group of women of Radio Nikosia is narrated in first person by the participants themselves. The main highlights of the group are its horizontality, flexibility, and that is a self-organized space outside the health system where it is possible to express oneself without fear of being judged. Processes of trust, recognition, joy, social support and health are generated. Members of the group meet fortnightly and discuss on different topics chosen by them, and take part in political actions for women's own rights such as participation in the media, in feminist calls, in training and talks. 2-MeOE2 chemical structure We exemplify that other ways of doing community mental health are possible. The challenges are to make them visible, to systemize them and to be able to assess the impact they have on the health not only of the participants, but also the community.

The Tunisian medical student population is very heterogeneous. This heterogeneity is based among other things on temperamental differences between different students and their behavior and strategies to cope with the requirements and constraints of medical studies. We conducted this study aiming to determine the prevalence of alcohol use in a student population at Sfax Medical School and to evaluate the factors associated with this use; to study the relationship between affective temperament and alcohol consumption among medical students.

We conducted a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study in the form of a survey between July 2018 and January 2019 among students (aged between 19 and 30) recruited from the University of Medicine of Sfax during their internship in the psychiatric department "A" at CHU HédiChaker of Sfax. We used a pre-established survey sheet based on data from the substance use and affective temperament literature in medical students that was completed by the participants afterance and an interesting impact both in the screening and in the care of these students.

The implementation of preventive measures is an obvious emergency. In the same way, taking into account the difference in affective temperaments in this very particular population could have a grandiose importance and an interesting impact both in the screening and in the care of these students.

Training in clinical hypnosis leads to important transformations in healthcare professionals, in their professional practices as well as in their personal lives. The objective of this study was to explore how health professionals experience the transformations that result from such a training.

Semi-structured interviews with health professionals from France and Europe were conducted. The qualitative method used was Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Purposive sampling required to include participants from different professions, experience and regions of origin. They had already completed training in clinical hypnosis at different teaching institutions.

Ten participants were included. The analysis showed four meta-themes of experience. First, it revealed participants' motivations for training in clinical hypnosis as one's desire to improve one's practice, leading to extraordinary discoveries, at a particular timing in their life. Second, participants described that hypnosis sometimes set the grounl-powerful relationship of their therapist as well as destabilization of therapists by the reduction of power asymmetry during hypnotic work with their patients.

The level of personal change experienced by the participants is similar to some changes induced by personal psychotherapy. For several participants, issues of power and vulnerability in the relationship using hypnosis were associated with a feeling of instability during the training. In hypnosis, the management of an asymmetrical relationship involves a two-way risk vulnerability of the hypnotized person to the all-powerful relationship of their therapist as well as destabilization of therapists by the reduction of power asymmetry during hypnotic work with their patients.PTSD is frequent in prison, with a lifetime prevalence of 17.8% among male inmates, and of 40.1% among female inmates. Despite those high rates, only a limited number of studies have been published about this disorder in the prison population, and PTSD is still widely underdiagnosed in jail. We conducted a review of the literature to identify the PTSD sociodemographic characteristics and specificities among incarcerated populations. Some epidemiological characteristics of PTSD are identical in both the general and the prison populations, with a higher prevalence among women than men, high rates of comorbidity with depression and anxiety disorders, and high suicide rates. PTSD after committing a violent crime seems to be common but is greatly underdiagnosed, mostly because of a lack of knowledge about this entity. The occurrence is especially high when the offender suffers from a severe mental illness at the time of the offence. Homicidal crimes are the most at risk to lead to PTSD. Every inmate should be screened for this diagnosis by psychiatrists practicing in prisons. Inmates are exposed to many traumatic events during their time in detention. Yet, little is known about the mental health consequences of imprisonment. PTSD after exposure to a traumatic event while in detention should be systematically explored, and future studies need to consider this matter. The high levels of PTSD among imprisoned people could be explained by the exposition of prisoners to repetitive traumatic events, especially during childhood, and by the multiple risk factors for PTSD found in this population. In France, screening for and treatment of PTSD in prison are insufficient. Strategies must be elaborated by the institutions created in 2019 (Centre National de Ressource et de Résilience et Centre Régionaux de Psychotraumatismes) to improve the health of inmates suffering from PTSD. Complex PTSD should also be studied in the prison population.
