Private Psychiatry in France
Fifty percent of French psychiatrists are private practitioners, and one-third of them treat inpatients. We first examine the birth of private psychiatric practice during the nineteenth century. We then examine some of the changes in recent decades that account for the current situation. Finally, we present the results of a survey that allow us to compare patients hospitalized in private and public facilities.

Nonsectorized Psychiatry in France
Increasing and new demands on sectorized general public mental health services together with an age of restricted funding gave rise to national reorganizations of health care for specific populations. These changes primarily affected persons suffering from addictive disorders, homeless persons, and victims of acute major stressful events.

The Sectorization System in France
Since the 1960s, French public mental health services have been organized in sectors, with each sector team providing mental health care for a mean population of 54,000 inhabitants. This organization is aimed at providing continuity of care for patients from an identified area. The reduction in the number of hospital beds has been more progressive in France than in the United States and other European countries. In 2000, there were 9.4 beds for 10,000 inhabitants over 20 years old. The sectorization system has shown its efficacy in terms of acc [...]

Viewing Violence, Mental Illness and Addiction Through a Wise Practices Lens
Abstract The progressive approaches First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities use to address health and wellness concerns are rarely
written about or acknowledged in a positive manner. This paper speaks to a concept introduced through the Canadian Aboriginal
Aids Network (CAAN) entitled “wise practices”. CAAN saw a wise practices model as more useful and inclusive of Aboriginal community practice and knowledge exchange than the current “best practice”
model. In addition, wise practices acknowledge and express the notion [...]

project that examined the challenges, accomplishments and support needs of adults with FASD in relation to parenting, employment
and the legal system. Using theoretical sampling techniques, in-depth, face-to-face interviews were conducted with a total
of 59 people from 5 diverse communities in British Columbia; of these, 15 were adults with (suspected) FASD. Findings presented
in this article [...]

Youth Gambling Prevention: Can Public Service Announcements Featuring Celebrity Spokespersons be Effective?
Abstract Children and adolescents are at increased risk of developing gambling problems compared to adults. A review of successful
prevention campaigns targeting drinking and driving, smoking, unprotected sex, and drug use suggests that public service announcements
(PSAs) featuring celebrity spokespersons have strong potential for raising awareness of the risks associated with excessive
underage gambling. In developing these PSAs, the psychological processes underlying persuasion should be considered along
with the source charact [...]
