Cancer, Culture and Communication

Cancer, Culture and Communication by Rhonda J. Moore, David Spiegel
English | PDF | 2004 | 330 Pages | ISBN : 0306478854 | 4.4 MB

The ability to communicate effectively with cancer patients and their family members has been linked to patient satisfaction, reduced psychological morbidity, enhanced health and reduced clinician "burn-out". Yet, despite what we know about the benefits of effective communication, cancer clinicians have only recently begun to receive routine training in the psychosocial and emotional aspects of cancer patient care.

Culture, Madness and Wellbeing: Beyond the Sociology of Insanity

Culture, Madness and Wellbeing: Beyond the Sociology of Insanity by Jason Lee
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 293 Pages | ISBN : 3031375297 | 9.3 MB

This book is a unique study of the historical, theoretical, and cultural interpretations of ‘madness’ including interviews with those who have experiences of ‘madness’. It takes a transdisciplinary approach, employing historical, psychological, and sociological perspectives through an intersectional lens. This work explains how the prioritization of thinking over feeling in Western thought means the transrational imagination has frequently been negated in tackling mental health with detrimental results. This book, therefore, examines creative media, especially film, as a transrational form of human expression for healing and wellbeing, along with television, theatre, social media, music, and computer games. ‘Madness’ with regards to gender, sexuality, adolescence, and class in media and film is interrogated, as well as ‘madness’ and race through a focus on colonialism, post-colonialism, and psychiatry. It analyses group psychosis, including celebrity culture, and the ‘madness’ of leaders and gurus. This book challenges the lasting influence of the Age of Reason by furthering our understanding of the value of transrationality and the diverse ways of being human.

A Social Dreaming Experience at the Time of COVID 19

A Social Dreaming Experience at the Time of COVID 19

A Social Dreaming Experience at the Time of COVID 19 by Elisabetta Pasini , Cinzia Trimboli
English | PDF (True) | 2023 | 134 Pages | ISBN : 3031424972 | 5 MB

The book describes the experience of four Social Dreaming Matrices held online between March and May 2020, during the first lockdown caused by the Covid 19 emergency. The pandemic isolated us and imposed prolonged contact with ourselves and our solitary thoughts. Against this backdrop, there was hope for change, a desire for a different kind of sociability and different forms of intimacy. On the basis of this evidence, our research supports the shift "from experiencing trauma to reacting to trauma", looking at a collective traumatic experience not only as something to be overcome but as an opportunity for a transformation that changes our mental schemes in relation to the external context.

Challenging Assumptions Around Dementia: User-led Research and Untold Stories by Rosalie Ashworth , Sue Fyvel , Alyson Hill , Chris Maddocks , Masood Qureshi , David Ross , Stuart Hay , Martin Robertson , Willy Gilder , Winnie Henry , Myra Lamont , Agnes Houston , Fred S. Wilson
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 154 Pages | ISBN : 3031272226 | 10.3 MB

This book explores the expectations surrounding dementia, what it ‘looks like’ and how people have been treated by others. It aims to raise awareness of the different types of dementia, and how they impact the brain, body, and lived experience, including experience of Alzheimer’s disease, Vascular Dementia, Posterior Cortical Atrophy, Frontotemporal Dementia, Semantic Dementia, and Lewy Body Dementia. The co-authors reflect on their experience with informal and formal care, before finishing with a focus on the spectrum of dementia research from clinical trials to user-led research. Throughout the book, co-authors have shared personal stories of how dementia has affected them and people with lived experience of dementia share what they wish people knew about living with the disease.

Co-produced by people with lived experience of dementia, academics and health care professionals, this book is an accessible resource about dementia from the perspective of people actively involved in the field and essential reading for healthcare professionals wishing to learn more about the experience of this neuroprogressive condition, as well as policymakers, and members of the public.

Age into Race: The Coronization of the Old

Age into Race: The Coronization of the Old by Haim Hazan
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2023 | 103 Pages | ISBN : 3031406680 | 4.9 MB

Age into Race is a socio-anthropological essay on the repercussions of the Covid-19 pandemic on the cultural status of the old. As the worldwide horrors of the Corona era have since been publicly repressed, the text is geared to revisit and relive the tenor of that time while considering its latent revolutionary aftermath. There was wide agreement that Covid-19 policies targeted older people as a risk group in need of protection, setting it apart from the rest of society. Yet, paradoxically, long-term facilities for older people effectively became Covid-19 death traps. What kind of abandonment propelled this apparent contradiction? This book provides an answer by looking at ageist practices regarding Covid-19 triaging, lockdowns and distancing that affected older people around the world, devising Covid-19 as an inevitable "problem of the elderly" and, by implication, instating and categorizing "the elderly" as a public problem to be bio-politically managed and wrought.

Aufgrund unterschiedlicher Vorgangsweisen und Gestaltungsvarianten der verschiedenen Psychotherapiemethoden ist bisher eine einheitliche und konsistente Diagnostik entweder unbeachtet geblieben oder war Streitpunkt wissenschaftlicher Auseinandersetzungen.

Trotz der individuellen Gestaltung der Psychotherapien ist diese psychotherapeutische Diagnostik von allen Psychotherapeuten anwendbar.

Das Buch enthält Leitlinien für die tägliche Praxis, in der die relevanten Standard-Fragen aufgelistet sind. Die Diagnostik wurde schulenübergreifend erarbeitet und vom österreichischen Bundesministeriums für Gesundheit und Frauen beschlossen, und wird bei der WHO eingereicht werden.

Interprofessional Care and Mental Health: A Discursive Exploration of Team Meeting Practices by Cordet Smart, Timothy Auburn
English | PDF | 2018 | 375 Pages | ISBN : 3319982273 | 12.3 MB

This book utilises conversation analysis (CA) and discursive psychology (DP) methodologies to examine the internal workings of multi-disciplinary teams which are concerned with the care, treatment and diagnosis of clients with complex mental health needs. Bringing together practitioners, service users and researchers who were part of the MDTsInAction research project, the authors offer a unique and systematic investigation into the ways members of multidisciplinary teams collaboratively manage their shared goals. A particular focus is on the language used in team meetings, and how examination of meeting talk can help us better understand the practice of inter-professional working. The authors also describe how a range of institutional barriers and concerns needed to be tackled in implementing the study in a healthcare setting.

Consciousness in Flesh: An Unapologetic Phenomenological Study

Consciousness in Flesh: An Unapologetic Phenomenological Study by Yochai Ataria
English | EPUB | 2022 | 168 Pages | ISBN : 3030868338 | 1.8 MB

This book offers an uncompromising and unapologetic phenomenological study of altered states of consciousness in an attempt to understand the structure of human consciousness. Drawing on the philosophy of Merleau-Ponty, it sets out to decipher the inextricable link between consciousness, body, and world. This link will be established through the presentation of in-depth phenomenological research conducted with former prisoners of war (POWs) and senior meditators. Focusing on two such disparate groups improves our understanding of the nature of the subjective experience in extreme situations – when our sense of boundary is rigid and we are disconnected both from the body and the world (POWs); and when our sense of boundary is fluid and we feel unified with the world (meditators). Based on empirical-phenomenological research, this book will explain how the body that is from the outset thrown into the intersubjective world shapes the structure of consciousness.

The Economics of Addictive Behaviours Volume I: The Private and Social Costs of Smoking and Their Remedies by John Joshua
English | PDF | 2017 | 136 Pages | ISBN : 3319469592 | 3.2 MB

This title discusses the phenomenon of smoking as a behavioural disease and the associated costs. The author details the consequences of smoking, in addition to the detrimental effects caused by second-hand tobacco smoke exposure as a health risk to children as well as to the general public. The central contribution of Joshua’s work is to address these concerns in terms of the issues of free choice and the market. Considering the various restrictive policies designed to reduce smoking’s prevalence, including the banning of smoking in public places, and the inclusion of warning labels on cigarette packets, Joshua carefully analyses potential economic remedies to the problem of smoking, notably the Pigovian tax. Finally, the book concludes with a highly relevant discussion of corporate social responsibility, and the role that this might play in anti-smoking projects.
