This presentation will introduce the development of the Clinical Ethnographic Narrative Interview, which was developed in the early 2000s to understand the cultural aspects of distress for Japanese women sojourners in Detroit. Since then, I have done studies comparing these sojourners with Japanese women in Japan, as well as a series of studies in Japan talking with survivors of domestic and sexual violence. This presentation will show drawings produced by interview participants and highlight what we have learned about the cultural aspects of social, physical, and mental distress for our participants.
Denise Saint Arnault, Ph.D., RN, FAAN is a Professor of Nursing at the University of Michigan. Her work addresses culture, illness, and help seeking. She developed, refined, and adapted her Cultural Determinants of Help Seeking and Trauma Recovery to advance culture and mental health theory. She is the founder and director of the Multicultural Study of Trauma Recovery (MiStory). MiStory is an international research collaboration that aims to understand barriers and facilitators of mental health help seeking and trauma recovery after Gender-Based Violence (GBV) from a cultural perspective. She uses mixed methods to understand internal variables that influence symptom experience and self-management, including beliefs about cause, stigma, and social network dimensions. Her qualitative work includes ethnographically informed methods such as photo-elicitation, card sorts, lifelines, body maps, fieldwork, grounded theory, and clinical ethnography. She has worked with Japanese women in the U.S., Japan, and Brazil since 1993.
This lecture is made possible with the generous support of the U.S. Department of Education Title VI grant.
