Download or read book Wellbeing in Doctoral Education written by Lynette Pretorius and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2019-09-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a range of personal and engaging stories that highlight the diverse voices of doctoral students as they explore their own learning journeys. Through these stories, doctoral students call for an academic environment in which the discipline-specific knowledge gained during their PhD is developed in concert with the skills needed to maintain personal wellbeing, purposely reflect on experiences, and build intercultural competence. In recent years, wellbeing has been increasingly recognised as an important aspect of doctoral education. Yet, few resources exist to help those who support doctoral students. Wellbeing in Doctoral Education provides a voice for doctoral students to advocate for improvements to their own educational environment. Both the struggles and the strategies for success highlighted by the students are, therefore, invaluable not only for the students themselves, but also their families, their social networks, and academia more broadly. Importantly, the doctoral students’ stories should be a clarion call for those in decision-making positions in academia. These narratives demonstrate that it is imperative that academic institutions invest in providing the skills and support that doctoral students need to succeed academically and flourish emotionally.

Download or read book Psychotherapy written by William Schofield and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Schofield presents a classic analysis of mental illness, of professional psychotherapists and their training, and of the elements of psychotherapy. He asserts the need for more rigorous selection of candidates for therapy and for a properly focused training of a new professional specialist: the psychotherapist. In his new introduction to this important critique, Schofield shows why his pleas for a rational training program are still appropriate. Psychotherapy is a pioneering critique of modern psychiatric practices. Far too many people see psychotherapy as a cure for every ill from tormenting self-doubt to lack of zest of life. Through failure to attend to careful assessment of the presenting problem, and the nature (and neglect) of the applicant's social resources, the psychotherapist can fall unwittingly into the role of moral counselor or morale coach, and can be seduced into the chronic role of "best friend." Schofield argues that today's overburdened expertspsychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and psychiatric social workersare not specifically trained to administer therapy through conversation. This book, first published in 1964, is an urgent call for a new specialist, a psychotherapist trained as a specialist in therapeutic conversation. This book is also a call for a more realistic public attitude toward mental disorderone which distinguishes emotional illness from unhappiness and discontent. Everyone interested in the growth, clarification, and evaluation of psychotherapy and counseling will be challenged by Schofield's arguments.

Book excerpt: A great number of children and adolescents face a world of violence and isolation.

This book offers educators, therapists, and other practitioners in a wide variety of settings the opportunity to learn how to develop a pair therapy program. It will also be an indispensable tool in the libraries of mental health practitioners who counsel youth beyond ordinary clinical treatment.
Download or read book Doctoral Students Mental Health and the Utilization of Services a Review of the Healthy Minds Study written by Erin L. Elkins and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral students are six times more likely to experience mental health concerns, while 12% to 30.9% utilize support services such as counseling and prescription medication. Overall, there is a consistent attrition rate of 50%, where one out of every two students do not complete their academic programming. The contributing factors reported in the literature influencing doctoral students' mental health includes faculty-student relationships, work-life balance, and the fear or stigma of unmasking their struggles. The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the perception of doctoral students' mental health status and the utilization of mental health services using data from the Healthy Minds Study (HMS). This quantitative correlational survey design study utilizes the large previously collected data set from the 2018-2019 Healthy Minds Study resulting in a doctoral student sample of n = 5,568. A relational analysis was utilized to explore the mental health variables of anxiety, depression, positive mental health, eating and body image disorders, suicide, abuse, assault and substance abuse. The service utilization variables include counseling and prescription medications. Demographic variables included degree type, enrollment status, gender, age, race, relationship status, GPA, and sense of belonging. The findings from the study included statistically significant relationships between doctoral students' sense of belonging, GPA, relationship status and gender to an associated increase in mental health concerns and the use of counseling and prescription medication services. Doctoral students' sense of belonging had a significant inverse relationship to positive mental health and the utilization of services. Doctoral students are experiencing concerns related to their mental health and approximately 28% of students use counseling and/or prescription medications. Sense of belonging, positive mental health, gender, GPA, and relationship status play a role in doctoral students experiences with mental health and utilization of counseling and prescription medication. Findings from this study support the current call to action which places an emphasis that Institutions of Higher Education and doctoral program faculty could play a role in mitigating doctoral students' mental health concerns.
Download or read book Mental Health among Higher Education Faculty Administrators and Graduate Students written by Teresa Heinz Housel and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Health among Higher Education Faculty, Administrators, and Graduate Studentsaddresses how many academics who experience mental distress or mental illness are afraid to speak out because of cultural stigma and fears of career repercussions. Many academics’ reluctance to publicly disclose their struggles complicates attempts to understand their experiences through research or popular media, or to develop targeted mental health resources and institutional policies. This volume builds on the existing studies in this greatly under-researched area of mental health among faculty, administrators, and graduate students in higher education. The chapters’ research findings will help institutions communicate about mental health in culturally-competent and person-centered ways; create work environments conducive to mental well-being; and support their academic employees who have mental health challenges. This book argues that discussions of health and wellness, equity, workload expectations and productivity, and campus diversity must also cover chronic illness and disability, which include mental health and mental illness.

Download or read book Platonic written by Marisa G. Franco, PhD and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2022-09-06 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Instant New York Times bestseller Is understanding the science of attachment the key to building lasting friendships and finding “your people” in an ever-more-fragmented world? How do we make and keep friends in an era of distraction, burnout, and chaos, especially in a society that often prizes romantic love at the expense of other relationships? In Platonic, Dr. Marisa G. Franco unpacks the latest, often counterintuitive findings about the bonds between us—for example, why your friends aren’t texting you back (it’s not because they hate you!), and the myth of “friendships happening organically” (making friends, like cultivating any relationship, requires effort!). As Dr. Franco explains, to make and keep friends you must understand your attachment style—secure, anxious, or avoidant: it is the key to unlocking what’s working (and what’s failing) in your friendships. Making new friends, and deepening longstanding relationships, is possible at any age—in fact, it’s essential. The good news: there are specific, research-based ways to improve the number and quality of your connections using the insights of attachment theory and the latest scientific research on friendship. Platonic provides a clear and actionable blueprint for forging strong, lasting connections with others—and for becoming our happiest, most fulfilled selves in the process.
