Aggrey Washington Burke FRCPsych (born 1943) is a British retired psychiatrist and academic, born in Jamaica, who spent the majority of his medical career at St George's Hospital in London, UK, specialising in transcultural psychiatry and writing literature on changing attitudes towards black people and mental health. He has carried out extensive research on racism and mental illness and is the first black consultant psychiatrist appointed by Britain's National Health Service (NHS).

Contents

During his early career, Burke conducted studies on the mental health of repatriates at Bellevue Hospital, Jamaica, and concluded that repatriation caused significant psychological harm. While in Jamaica, he authored the earliest epidemiological report on schizophrenia in the Caribbean. In 1976, having returned to the UK, Burke published works on attempted suicide in immigrant Irish, West Indian and Asian people in Birmingham. In the early 1980s he carried out psychotherapeutic work with bereaved families following the fire at a house in New Cross in which 13 young black people died.

Burke's work throughout the 1980s demonstrated how deprivation is associated with mental illness in some black communities, and revealed prejudices that affect mental health care in these groups. He questioned the significant number in some locked secure hospital wards of young black males, many of whom he said require treatment rather than restraint, and he looked at the role of the families of black and Asian people with mental illness. He later gave evidence in the early 1990s inquiry into the death of Orville Blackwood at Broadmoor Hospital.

In 1986, together with Joe Collier, Burke wrote a "groundbreaking" paper for the journal Medical Education , which concluded that "racial and sexual discrimination operate when students are selected for medical education at London colleges". [1] It was followed by an enquiry by the Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) and the publication of its report in 1988, which led to changes in admissions processes.

Early life and education

Aggrey Burke was born in 1943 in Saint Elizabeth, Jamaica, [2] [3] where he had his early education. [4] His father was Revd Eddie Burke [5] and his grandmother was Emily Watts, who ran a kindergarten. [2] He is one of six siblings, the eldest of which was Syd Burke, who became a renowned photographer and journalist. [2] [6] In 1959, while still a teenager, Burke moved to Britain with his parents Edmund and Pansy, who had migrated there with three of their sons. [7] The family settled in Kew, west London, where Burke was schooled and, as the only black child in his class, experienced feelings of isolation. [7] Subsequently he gained admission to study medicine in 1962 at the University of Birmingham – one of a very few Caribbean students [7] – where he was captain of athletics, and from where he graduated in 1968. [3] [4]

In 1968 Burke returned to Jamaica to complete his early clinical training. [4] That year, the political activist and academic Walter Rodney noted in his memoirs, that Burke was posted at the University Hospital, Mona, Jamaica. [8] After one year he moved to Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, as part of a psychiatry training programme. [4] In 1971, he was noted to be back at the University Hospital in Mona as a registrar and elected member of the Psychotherapy and Social Psychiatry Section. [9]

During his time in Jamaica, Burke conducted studies on the mental health of repatriates at the psychiatric hospital Bellevue Hospital, noting that a significant number of admissions were repatriates from England. [10] [11] He reported that 20 per cent had been sent from the high-security psychiatric unit Broadmoor Hospital, the majority had not wished to return to Jamaica and most were diagnosed with paranoia, despite Burke noting that they lacked any delusions with regards to discrimination based on skin colour. He described the stigma of failed migration and the "feelings of persecution and negative behaviours" associated with repatriation as a specific psychological event, and as a result coined the term "repatriate syndrome". [11] [12] Burke calculated that one in four would die, and concluded that repatriation was a "gross social insult", caused significant psychological harm and had no therapeutic benefit. [11] He wrote about suicide in Trinidad and authored the earliest epidemiological report on schizophrenia in the Caribbean. [13] One of his studies looked at venereal disease at the Bellevue Hospital, with particular concern for those people with previous inadequate treatment with penicillin. [14]

Psychiatry in the UK

In 1976, having returned to the UK to complete his psychotherapy and psychiatry training as a research fellow in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Birmingham, he wrote a series of papers on attempted suicide in immigrant Irish, West Indian and Asian people in Birmingham, comparing the rates to the local population and to that in the countries of origin of these groups. [4] [15] [16] Subsequently, he presented his findings at the 6th World Congress of Social Psychiatry. [17] In 1977, he was appointed senior lecturer in psychiatry at St George's Medical School in Tooting, London. [4] He later became the first black British person to be appointed by the NHS as a consultant psychiatrist. [3] In 1985, he was noted to be Britain's only "leading" black psychiatrist. [18] By 1988, there were two Caribbean psychiatrists in the NHS. [19] He is a Fellow of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. [4]

Burke's work has included writing on changing attitudes towards black people and mental health, [20] research on the role of racial discrimination in psychiatric disorders, [21] and how racism can lead to mental illness. [21] [22] [23] At an oral history seminar in 1981, organised by Lambeth Community Relations Council, Burke stated: "If you are black, and working class, there are much greater chances of being compulsorily admitted to hospital under a section of the Mental Health Act, going to a special hospital and sometimes being repatriated." [24] In April of that year, following the Brixton riots, [25] he co-founded "The Ethnic Study Group", which dismissed diagnoses of "Balham psychosis, New Cross psychosis, West Indian psychosis and Migration psychosis". [26]

His work has shown how deprivation is associated with mental illness in some black communities, and revealed prejudices that affect mental health care in these groups. [27] Later, he addressed the notion that psychiatric reports for courts show an "obsession with blacks being bad, big blacks somewhat worse, and big black males – particularly those that have had any contact with the police – as the most dangerous of all cases". [28] He simultaneously questioned the significant number of young black males in some locked secure hospital wards, a number who he says require treatment rather than restraint, stating in one interview that "this is partly due to seeing blacks as dangerous. There is this mind-set that the black population is tricky, difficult to deal with. The Government has not attempted to understand the root issues which are poverty and deprivation." [29]

In the early 1980s Burke carried out psychotherapeutic work with bereaved families following the January 1981 New Cross house fire [30] [31] that killed 13 young black people on 18 January 1981, with one survivor committing suicide two years later. [32] Burke has also looked at the role of families of black and Asian people with mental illness, and advocated the importance of treatment within a family context. [33] When treating West Indian people with mental illness, he used his familiarity with key Jamaican role models including Marcus Garvey, Bob Marley and the Rastafarian movement. [27] In one study concerning black people in Birmingham, he reported a 100 per cent response rate once it was made aware that the research team were also black. [28] He wrote on the limitations of one-to-one counselling in Afro-Caribbean people with mental illness when a significant contributory factor to their condition was family stress, and that a positive outcome was strongly influenced by the family-patient interaction. [33]

His 1984 study of West Indians in Aston, Birmingham, showed they experienced a high percentage of psychosomatic symptoms and an underdiagnosis of depression. [34] In the same year, he demonstrated that African Americans who experienced racism also reported feelings of "intrusion and avoidance". [35] In the 1980s he coined the terms "under-reaction" and "over-reaction" to illustrate how services respond to some ethnic groups. [36]

Medical school admissions

In 1986, together with clinical pharmacologist Joe Collier, when both were senior lecturers at St George's, Burke wrote a "groundbreaking" paper for the journal Medical Education , entitled "Racial and sexual discrimination in the selection of students for London medical schools". [37] [38] [39] After examining the female to male ratio and the names of students taking final examinations at 11 London medical schools, they concluded that "the results of this survey suggest that racial and sexual discrimination operate when students are selected for medical education at London colleges". [1] [40]

The Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) was subsequently made aware that software used for medical-school admissions selection at St George's was creating a lower score for women and those with non-European names, so reducing their chance of being called for interview. [39] [41] Following an enquiry, the official CRE report (1988) confirmed Burke and Collier's findings and also questioned what might be happening in other London medical schools; St. George's already had a higher than average intake of students with non-European names. [1] [38] [39] As a result of their work, both Burke and Collier were initially shunned within their institution, but changes were subsequently made to admissions policies. [37] [39] [42]

1990s Prins inquiry

Burke gave evidence in the Herschel Prins-led inquiry into the death of Orville Blackwood at Broadmoor Hospital, [43] [44] published in 1994. [45] In the Prins Inquiry, Burke suggested that Orville Blackwood "was a man with profound insight" and termed his illness as "acute stress-related psychotic disorder". [43] [44]

Later life

Unlike others of his experience Burke never received a professorship. [37] He remained at St George's until his retirement, following which he continues with work in psychiatry, writing on black mental health issues and assisting the General Medical Council. [3] [37] He also continues to speak and lecture in the UK and abroad.

In 1994, he gave the Martin Luther King Memorial Lecture entitled "In Search of Freedom". [4]

In February 2010 he was the keynote speaker at the 5th Annual Huntley Conference, which was on the theme "Young, Black and British: Identity and Community through the generations" and was held at London Metropolitan Archives, where he explained how the supplementary school movement gave new immigrants a sense of being Caribbean. [46] [47]

In April 2016 Burke looked back at some of his own work at a public meeting at London's Learie Constantine Centre (sponsored by Brent Patient Voice and Brent MIND) on the topic "Race and Mental Health: are black communities getting a fair deal?" and, in the context of race, ethnicity, class and trauma, reflected on the statistics that show that young black men may be five times more likely than young men from other groups to be diagnosed with severe schizophrenia. In light of his figures on the wide differences between the various Caribbean islanders, collectively referred to as Afro-Caribbean, he has questioned this categorisation. [48]

Other roles, awards and honours

Burke's other roles have included being the president of the Transcultural Psychiatry Society (TCPS), which focused on issues of culture and race in British mental health services. [3] The society expanded under his leadership and that of Suman Fernando. [49] [50] In 1984 Burke chaired a symposium organised by the TCPS on the theme "Mental Health and Apartheid". [51]

He was also appointed the vice-chair and a trustee of the George Padmore Institute, [52] [53] an archive, educational, research and information centre that was founded in 1991 by John La Rose together with a group of political and cultural activists connected to New Beacon Books. [54] Burke became an active member of the International Association for Suicide Prevention and teaches on suicide awareness programmes. [4]

In October 2019, he was one of three psychiatrists to appear on a Royal College of Psychiatrists poster for Black History Month. [37] In 2020, he was named in the list of 100 Great Black Britons. [55] [56] [57] In the same year, he was one of the seven recipients of the President's Medal from the Royal College of Psychiatrists, [58] [59] awarded at a virtual ceremony in November 2020. [60]

On 6 April 2022, Burke delivered the annual Lord Pitt Memorial Lecture, organised by the British Caribbean Association and held at the UCL Institute of Education. [61] In July 2022, St George's awarded Burke an honorary degree of Doctor of Science. [62] [63]

Family

Burke's eldest brother was the pioneering photographer, broadcaster and journalist Syd Burke (1938–2010). [6] Their father Revd Eddie Burke, who died on 3 July 2000 at the age of 91, was described in the Newsletter of the George Padmore Institute as a "a leading figure in the modern history of Jamaica".

<i>Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders</i> American psychiatric classification

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is a publication by the American Psychiatric Association (APA) for the classification of mental disorders using a common language and standard criteria. It is the main book for the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders in the United States and is considered one of the principal guides of psychiatry, along with the International Classification of Diseases ICD, CCMD, and the Psychodynamic Diagnostic Manual. However, not all providers rely on the DSM-5 as a guide, since the ICD's mental disorder diagnoses are used around the world and scientific studies often measure changes in symptom scale scores rather than changes in DSM-5 criteria to determine the real-world effects of mental health interventions.

A mental disorder, also referred to as a mental illness or psychiatric disorder, is a behavioral or mental pattern that causes significant distress or impairment of personal functioning. A mental disorder is also characterized by a clinically significant disturbance in an individual's cognition, emotional regulation, or behavior. It is usually associated with distress or impairment in important areas of functioning. There are many different types of mental disorders. Mental disorders may also be referred to as mental health conditions. Such features may be persistent, relapsing and remitting, or occur as single episodes. Many disorders have been described, with signs and symptoms that vary widely between specific disorders. Such disorders may be diagnosed by a mental health professional, usually a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist.

Anti-psychiatry, sometimes spelled antipsychiatry, is a movement based on the view that psychiatric treatment is often more damaging than helpful to patients, highlighting controversies about psychiatry. Objections include the reliability of psychiatric diagnosis, the questionable effectiveness and harm associated with psychiatric medications, the failure of psychiatry to demonstrate any disease treatment mechanism for psychiatric medication effects, and legal concerns about equal human rights and civil freedom being nullified by the presence of diagnosis. Historically critiques of psychiatry came to light after focus on the extreme harms associated with electroconvulsive treatment or insulin shock therapy. The term "anti-psychiatry" is in dispute and often used to dismiss all critics of psychiatry, many of whom agree that a specialized role of helper for people in emotional distress may at times be appropriate, and allow for individual choice around treatment decisions.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Electroconvulsive therapy</span> Medical procedure in which electrical current is passed through the brain

Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) or electroshock therapy (EST) is a psychiatric treatment where a generalized seizure is electrically induced to manage refractory mental disorders. Typically, 70 to 120 volts are applied externally to the patient's head, resulting in approximately 800 milliamperes of direct current passing between the electrodes, for a duration of 100 milliseconds to 6 seconds, either from temple to temple or from front to back of one side of the head. However, only about 1% of the electrical current crosses the bony skull into the brain because skull impedance is about 100 times higher than skin impedance.

The Rosenhan experiment or Thud experiment was an experiment conducted to determine the validity of psychiatric diagnosis.

The study was conducted by psychologist David Rosenhan, a Stanford University professor, and published by the journal Science in 1973 under the title "On Being Sane in Insane Places".

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Deinstitutionalisation</span> Replacement of psychiatric hospitals

Deinstitutionalisation is the process of replacing long-stay psychiatric hospitals with less isolated community mental health services for those diagnosed with a mental disorder or developmental disability. In the late 20th century, it led to the closure of many psychiatric hospitals, as patients were increasingly cared for at home, in halfway houses and clinics, in regular hospitals, or not at all.

The Chinese Society of Psychiatry is the largest organization for psychiatrists in China. It publishes the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders ("CCMD"), first published in 1985. The CSP also publishes clinical practice guidelines; promotes psychiatric practice, research and communication; trains new professionals; and holds academic conferences.

Loren Richard Mosher was an American psychiatrist, clinical professor of psychiatry, expert on schizophrenia and the chief of the Center for Studies of Schizophrenia in the National Institute of Mental Health (1968–1980). Mosher spent his professional career advocating for humane and effective treatment for people diagnosed as having schizophrenia and was instrumental in developing an innovative, residential, home-like, non-hospital, non-drug treatment model for newly identified acutely psychotic persons.

Child and adolescent psychiatry is a branch of psychiatry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of mental disorders in children, adolescents, and their families. It investigates the biopsychosocial factors that influence the development and course of psychiatric disorders and treatment responses to various interventions. Child and adolescent psychiatrists primarily use psychotherapy and/or medication to treat mental disorders in the pediatric population.

Psychiatry is the medical specialty devoted to the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of deleterious mental conditions. These include various matters related to mood, behaviour, cognition, and perceptions.

The Critical Psychiatry Network (CPN) is a psychiatric organization based in the United Kingdom. It was created by a group of British psychiatrists who met in Bradford, England in January 1999 in response to proposals by the British government to amend the Mental Health Act 1983. They expressed concern about the implications of the proposed changes for human rights and the civil liberties of people with mental health illness. Most people associated with the group are practicing consultant psychiatrists in the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS), among them Dr Joanna Moncrieff. A number of non-consultant grade and trainee psychiatrists are also involved in the network.

Political abuse of psychiatry, also commonly referred to as punitive psychiatry, is the misuse of psychiatry, including diagnosis, detention, and treatment, for the purposes of obstructing the human rights of individuals and/or groups in a society. In other words, abuse of psychiatry is the deliberate action of having citizens psychiatrically diagnosed who need neither psychiatric restraint nor psychiatric treatment. Psychiatrists have been involved in human rights abuses in states across the world when the definitions of mental disease were expanded to include political disobedience. As scholars have long argued, governmental and medical institutions code menaces to authority as mental diseases during political disturbances. Nowadays, in many countries, political prisoners are sometimes confined and abused in psychiatric hospitals.

Dinesh Kumar Makhan Lal Bhugra is a professor of mental health and diversity at the Institute of Psychiatry at King's College London.

Psychiatry is, and has historically been, viewed as controversial by those under its care, as well as sociologists and psychiatrists themselves. There are a variety of reasons cited for this controversy, including the subjectivity of diagnosis, the use of diagnosis and treatment for social and political control including detaining citizens and treating them without consent, the side effects of treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy, antipsychotics and historical procedures like the lobotomy and other forms of psychosurgery or insulin shock therapy, and the history of racism within the profession in the United States.
