Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, 1918, Vol. 1 John S thirty-eight years of age; American born; shoe-worker; widower with eight children. This patient had used alcohol to excess for a short time, and this was an important factor in his case. Investi gation revealed the fact that inadequate income and sickness had made it impossible for this patient to supply his family with sufficient food. He frequently went to work without food, substituting a breakfast with a glass of beer. Loneliness, discouragement, inadequate income and sickness were the real needs in this man's case. The house in which he and his family lived was in the midst of a saloon district; the rooms, six in number, were small, meagerly furnished and extremely untidy. Sanitary conditions were far below the standard; five children were sleeping in one small attic room; the eldest, a boy of nineteen years, was tubercular in appearance and complained of ill health. A daughter of sixteen years was acting as housekeeper, had received no training and had left school at fourteen years of age to help at home. This little ock of motherless children, whose father was a patient at the hospital, was supported by the small wages received by the two elder boys, aver ag'ng about $12 a week, of which went to a relative for rent, an exorbitant rent for value received. The inadvisability of returning a patient to these conditions is very obvious. The family was advised to move, and guidance and financial assistance were secured to enable them to do so. A friend promised to see that patient secured work when able to leave the hospital. Urgent appeals are being made for a middle-aged woman to keep house and help in the training and care of the younger children. The family is now living in a new, comfortable tenement in a good neighborhood; they are united and happy. Frequent home visiting will be necessary for some time, for this is an example of recon structive work previously mentioned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases: April, 1918 I would insist, further, that the group headings given are not special enough to constitute sufficient diagnosis for a classification of use in the statistics of institutions for the insane. The plan is not so much an excursion in nosology as an essay in the technique of psychiatric diagnosis for the tyro. The plan gives hints for a method of arriving at an eventual diagnosis; it does not prescribe the names of diseases. Again, the plan is not an etiological plan, although recent advances in psychiatric etiology have been such that many of the practical groups are actually etiological groups.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases, Vol. 2: Published Quarterly; April, 1918 Whereas the ending -osis suitably expresses ordin'al characters, . The ending -ia (as in epilepsia, neurasthenia) suitably indicates generic characters of disease; indeed some dictionaries regard -ia as primarily suggesting disease. The ordinal ending here pre ferred is accordingly -osis; the generic ending - ia. So much re nomenclature may suffice at this time (see below under the separate groups for further remarks). Aside from cer tain novelties in nomenclature the plan has, I believe, merit as an application of a key-principle. Even if one were content with ordinary English group names feeble-minded, still the order of consideration of group-data would remain of commanding importance. Should not a shred remain of the nomenclature just presented, the key-principle in the analysis of clinical psychiatric data would remain of use.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Commission on Mental Diseases Yet the number of actual entities (ih the medical sense of this term as a kind of collection of symptoms) in which delusions do form a central feature makes a formidable list. I may limit myself to the following actual or possible entities: paranoia, the paranoid form of dementia praecox, and the somewhat closely allied paraphrenia of Kraepelin's recent formulation, the ao-called acute alcoholic hallucinosis, or insanity of alcoholic origin, a number of forms of pre-senile psychoses, some forms of senile psychoses, to say nothing of various forms of syphilitic mental disease, as also manic-depressive psychosis, various mild or severe psychopathic conditions not ordinarily considered to amount to frank mental disease, and even such apparently remote entities, or groups of entities, as are found under the caption of epilepsy and feeble-mindedness.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Massachusetts Department of Mental Diseases, Vol. 14: Published Quarterly; April, 1930 Among the names which bulk large in the history of psychiatry one of the most conspicuous is that of Walter E. Fernald. Taking up as he did the problem of mental deficiency at a time when the care of the feeble-minded was essentially custodial, he developed the concept of training his charges with a view to fitting them for life in the community. This attitude, then new and almost revolutionary, has now become the accepted princi ple in the field of mental defect. Not only Massachusetts, but the entire civilized world, owes a debt of gratitude to the sagacity, humanity and foresight of this great man. It is as a token of this gratitude, and with pride in the accomplishment of a loyal servant of the Commonwealth, that the Department of Mental Diseases dedicates this issue of its Bulletin to the memory of Walter E. Fernald. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: The classic work on the evaluation of city form. What does the city's form actually mean to the people who live there? What can the city planner do to make the city's image more vivid and memorable to the city dweller? To answer these questions, Mr. Lynch, supported by studies of Los Angeles, Boston, and Jersey City, formulates a new criterion—imageability—and shows its potential value as a guide for the building and rebuilding of cities. The wide scope of this study leads to an original and vital method for the evaluation of city form. The architect, the planner, and certainly the city dweller will all want to read this book.

Leahy, Ph.D., LPC, CRC Office of Rehabilitation and Disability Studies Michigan State University "This is an excellent book, but the best parts are the stories of the disabled, which give readers insights into their struggles and triumphs." Score: 94, 4 Stars--Doody's Medical Reviews What are the differences between individuals with disabilities who flourish as opposed to those who never really adjust after a trauma? How are those born with a disability different from individuals who acquire one later in life? This is the first textbook about the psychosocial aspects of disability to provide students and practitioners of rehabilitation counseling with vivid insight into the experience of living with a disability. It features the first-person narratives of 16 people living with a variety of disabling conditions, which are integrated with sociological and societal perspectives toward disability, and strategies for counseling persons with disabilities. Using a minority model perspective to address disability, the book focuses on historical perspectives, cultural variants regarding disability, myths and misconceptions, the attitudes of special interest and occupational groups, the psychology of disability with a focus on positive psychology, and adjustments to disability by the individual and family. A wealth of counseling guidelines and useful strategies are geared specifically to individual disabilities. Key Features: Contains narratives of people living with blindness, hearing impairments, spinal cord injuries, muscular dystrophy, polio, mental illness, and other disabilities Provides counseling guidelines and strategies specifically geared toward specific disabilities, including "dos and don'ts" Includes psychological and sociological research relating to individual disabilities Discusses ongoing treatment issues and ethical dilemmas for rehabilitation counselors Presents thought-provoking discussion questions in each chapter Authored by prominent professor and researcher who became disabled as a young adult

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the dawn of the twenty-first century, Americans enjoyed better overall health than at any other time in the nation's history. Rapid advancements in medical technologies, breakthroughs in understanding the genetic underpinnings of health and ill health, improvements in the effectiveness and variety of pharmaceuticals, and other developments in biomedical research have helped develop cures for many illnesses and improve the lives of those with chronic diseases. By itself, however, biomedical research cannot address the most significant challenges to improving public health. Approximately half of all causes of mortality in the United States are linked to social and behavioral factors such as smoking, diet, alcohol use, sedentary lifestyle, and accidents. Yet less than five percent of the money spent annually on U.S. health care is devoted to reducing the risks of these preventable conditions. Behavioral and social interventions offer great promise, but as yet their potential has been relatively poorly tapped. Promoting Health identifies those promising areas of social science and behavioral research that may address public health needs. It includes 12 papersâ€"commissioned from some of the nation's leading expertsâ€"that review these issues in detail, and serves to assess whether the knowledge base of social and behavioral interventions has been useful, or could be useful, in the development of broader public health interventions.
