The first decade of Intervention
Intervention, 2013
Over this 10 year period, Intervention has published 139 peer reviewed articles, 73 ¢eld reports, 36 book reviews and 33 debate papers.The articles cover academic expertise, practical experience and debates on mental health and psychosocial interventions in the aftermath of both natural, and manmade, disasters.The authors of most papers (61%) originated from developed countries, versus 28% from low and middle income countries.Thematic analysis of the content of peer reviewed articles reveals shifting consensus and emerging new debates on mental health and psychosocial interventions. In the ¢rst years of Intervention, individual therapeutic approaches were more prominent than in later years, which saw more attention given to community based approaches. Another emerging theme is the trend to involve 'bene¢ciaries' in planning and evaluation of programmes, through participatory approaches. A signi¢cant number of peer reviewed papers (28%) describe policy development issues, such as guidelines (IASC) and processes of integration of mental health into general health care systems in post con£ict settings. Recommendations are that the editorial priorities for the next years should continue strategies for increasing submissions from authors originating from areas a¡ected by con£ict, and increasing inclusion of perspectives of those who have experienced extreme events.
