Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Religion is central to the theory and practice of cultural psychiatry because it is an important determinant of health, wellness and resilience, and it shapes illness experience, coping and recovery. Religious identity and practice can also result in stressful situations and predicaments that lead to mental health problems. This editorial essay introduces a thematic issue of Transcultural Psychiatry on religion and spirituality and outlines key components of religious competency in clinical care. Articles in this issue present new research on the role of religion and spirituality in mental health, clinical approaches to working with religious patients, the development of religious interventions, the negative effects of religious practice, and the complex interplay between religion, culture and context. Given its central role in people's lives, religion is a key consideration in psychiatric assessment and treatment and can be an important resource for mental health promotion.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
