Future Work

Concern among black and ethnic minorities with current research in ‘transcultural psychiatry’ entails future work taking into account their collaboration to minimise the possibility that it is prejudicial to their interests. An instance is given of a project initiated by black community groups which looks at psychiatric conceptualisations of a diagnosis commonly used locally in inner-city Birmingham: cannabis psychosis. Responsibility remains with the researcher.

Official Policy

Official policy supports the dispersal of coloured immigrants from inner city areas, but this orthodoxy has been challenged from a number of directions and an alternative strategy of ‘enrichment’ has been proposed. These two policies are discussed in the context of present patterns of dispersal and concentration in Britain, with especial emphasis placed on the factor of choice by members of the coloured minorities. While the majority will opt for the ‘comfortable solution’ in the inner city, official policy will have to maximise the opportunities for those who wish to move away.

Transcultural Psychiatry

The problems of diagnosis in transcultural psychiatry and the ideological and anthropological questions raised have received much attention in the psychiatric literature over the last 15 years. Even when the diagnosis is not in dispute, specific problems are encountered in the delivery of psychiatric care to patients from ethnic minorities (Littlewood & Lipsedge, 1989; Rack, 1982). Different explanatory models of illness and treatment, linguistic and cultural misunderstandings and numerous, apparently minor, practical difficulties bedevil treatment. Contributions to the psychiatric literature of practical use in management and service designs have been sparse.

We study how the local concentration of ethnic minorities relates to natives’ likelihood of out-migration in the capital of Denmark. In US studies, a high or increasing proportion of racial or ethnicminorities in inner city neighborhoods is seen as the prime motivation for ‘white flight;’ Whitemiddle-class families moving towards racially and ethnically homogeneous suburbs. The relativelyegalitarian Scandinavian setting offers a contrasting case, where inner cities are less deprived, andwhere minority groups primarily consist of immigrants and children of immigrants that have arrivedover the past few decades. Using rich, population-wide, longitudinal administrative data over atwelve-year period, linked to exact coordinates on places of residence, we document how thegeographical distribution of minorities within Copenhagen relates to native out-migration. Weobserve increasing out-migration among the native majority population from areas with high andincreasing minority concentrations, largely supporting the hypothesis of a ‘native flight’ mobilitypattern.
