Unpacking disclosure: interrupting unquestioned practices.

Issues Ment Health Nurs

School of Nursing, University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Published: June 2008

Disclosure, the social practice of sharing the details, the "truths" of one's life, is embedded in our social world, and in the assumptions that drive the provision of mental health and psychotherapeutic intervention. In this paper the author interrogates the ways in which categories of sexuality and disclosure itself is historically derived and asks: How would care be different if we consider the constructed categories of sexual orientation as an exemplar of an unstable truth? In addition, the author suggests approaches to practice that unseat the valorization of disclosure.

Focusing on five case studies, this article delves into the lived experience of families who deemed coral objects an essential childhood accessory in the period from 1590 to 1775.

Background: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a challenge affecting one in three women in their lifetime, and gender-transformative interventions have been identified as a promising prevention strategy. We systematically reviewed and meta-analysed randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of community-level or group-based interventions to prevent IPV in lower- and middle-income countries, seeking to answer the following research question: do community- or group-based gender-transformative interventions reduce IPV, compared to a control arm of status-quo programming?

Methods: We conducted a systematic search from the inception of all databases employed until 20 July 2021. Eligible study outcomes included past-year experience of physical, sexual, emotional or economic IPV self-reported by women and perpetration of physical or sexual IPV self-reported by men.
