Key Questions 1. What are the identities and core missions of Cultural Psychiatry (CP) and Social Psychiatry (SP)? Are they distinct or do they still overlap? 2. What are the impacts of each approach (CP, SP) in the domains of theory, practice, education, and policy-making? 3. Are the differences in assumptions, theory, and practice between CP and SP still convergent enough to make a synthesis possible or have they diverged so far as to create two clearly demarcated and differentiated fields of practice? 4. How can SP promote belonging and unity in a time of conflicts and polarization? Responding to the IASP Conference theme of "Conflicts, Culture and Social Wellness," the author proposes Social Psychiatry's role in promoting belonging and unity (Di Nicola

In particular, those with religious beliefs may additionally suffer from religious discordance due to their sexual preferences. This exploratory research investigates how Buddhists perceive homosexuality and how Buddhist lesbians, gays and bisexuals (LGBs) accept their sexual orientation. It adopts semi-structured Internet-based text and voice interviews with 11 participants, including homosexual Buddhists, Buddhist masters, and heterosexual Buddhists. The findings are analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis, with the aid of a computerised qualitative data-analysis package. Results reveal a compassionate culture towards this marginalised group, for which Buddhist LGBs cultivate self-acceptance through Buddhist teachings, such as the clarification of nature and manifestation, Buddhist equality, and proper interpretation of precepts. These teachings also encourage inclusiveness.
