Purpose of review 

This review will discuss the current development of ethical dilemmas in psychiatry in the care of migrants and refugees. The world is in times of increasing conflicts and disasters, which are leading to increased migration and flight. In dealing with patients, psychiatrists have their own codes of ethics. The purpose of developing codes of ethics is to serve educational and regulatory functions and to provide explicit and visible standards for the professional conduct of psychiatrists.

Recent findings 

Objective
This study evaluated a digital intervention program with aging Holocaust survivors. Participants received a tablet device and were coupled with a volunteer who assisted them to use the tablet. The study aimed to assess which characteristics of the Holocaust survivors are linked with more frequent use of digital communication at the end of the program.

Neuropsychiatric disorders pose a high societal cost, but their treatment is hindered by lack of objective outcomes and fidelity metrics. AI technologies and specifically Natural Language Processing (NLP) have emerged as tools to study mental health interventions (MHI) at the level of their constituent conversations. However, NLP’s potential to address clinical and research challenges remains unclear.

In 2018, Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD) was officially recognized as a distinct syndrome in the International Classification of Diseases, 11th Revision (ICD-11). This recognition aimed to differentiate between neurotic disorders secondary to stressful situations and somatoform disorders, and disorders specifically associated with stress. The inclusion of CPTSD in the ICD-11 marked the culmination of two decades of research focused on understanding its symptoms, treatments, and risk factors.

Psychische problemen en burnout ontstaan nooit door iemands werkomstandigheden alleen. Mentale problemen en het gedrag dat professionals op het werk vertonen, hangen altijd samen met de omstandigheden waarin iemand opgroeide. Daar zouden HR-adviseurs ook rekening mee moeten houden.

Tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog werden honderdduizenden Nederlanders tewerkgesteld in Duitsland. Deze dwangarbeid staat bekend als de Arbeitseinsatz (arbeidsinzet). Na de oorlog was het opsporen van tewerkgestelden een van de taken van het Informatiebureau van het Nederlandse Rode Kruis (NRK). Om die reden verzamelde het Rode Kruis gegevens over tewerkgestelden (en andere Nederlanders die in Duitsland waren) bij bedrijven, ziekenhuizen en gemeenten. Zo ontstond de Collectie Arbeidsinzet van het NRK (archiefnummer 2.19.323).
