C Dupré, The Age of Dignity (Hart 2015)

Bob Dylan famously searched high and low for it and left us wondering ‘what it’s gonna take’ to find it. These days, the elusive dignity – and her equally, if not more, elusive cousin human dignity – has captured the imagination of not just the poet and philosopher, but also, in light of its increasing prominence in an array of legal contexts, the legal scholar. Catherine Dupré’s The Age of Dignity comes at a high point in (human) dignity scholarship, with the publication of numerous texts in the English language emerging on the subject, and with interest in it looking unlikely to dissipate any time soon. In this review, I consider (human) dignity’s promise and pitfalls as it transpires in Dupré’s wide-ranging and ambitious monograph.

Acesso aos Cuidados de Saúde: um direito em risco?. Relatório Primavera 2015

Em Portugal a saúde tem a dignidade de ser considerada na Constituição da República (CR), no capítulo dos direitos e deveres sociais (Capítulo II). Aí se afirma que “todos têm direito à proteção da saúde e o dever de a defender e promover” (CR, artº 64, nº 1), balanceando-se assim as responsabilidades do Estado, através do dever de proteção, com as responsabilidades individuais, através do dever de defender e promover a saúde. O Estado assume o seu dever garantindo “o acesso de todos os cidadãos, independentemente da sua condição económica” (CR, artº 64, nº3, al. a). O acesso aos cuidados de saúde constitui-se assim como a forma de o Estado garantir aos cidadãos o direito à saúde.

A critical analysis of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services policy in England, 2000‐2015

Policy in Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) in England has undergone radical changes in the last 15 years, with far reaching implications for funding models, access to services and service delivery. Using corpus analysis and critical discourse analysis, we explore how childhood, mental health, and CAMHS are constituted in 15 policy documents, 9 pre‐2010, and 6 post 2010. We trace how these constructions have changed over time, and consider the practice implications of these changes. We identify how children’s distress is individualised, through medicalising discourses and shifting understandings of the relationship between socioeconomic context and mental health. This is evidenced in a shift from seeing children’s mental health challenges as produced by social and economic inequities, to a view that children’s mental health must be addressed early to prevent future socio‐economic burden. We consider the implications CAMHS policies for the relationship between children, families, mental health services and the state. The paper concludes by exploring how concepts of ‘parity of esteem’ and ‘stigma reduction’ may inadvertently exacerbate the individualisation of children’s mental health.
