Download or read book Cornerstones of Attachment Research written by Robbie Duschinsky and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an open access title available under the terms of a [CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 International] licence. It is free to read at Oxford Clinical Psychology Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations. Attachment theory is among the most popular theories of human socioemotional development, with a global research community and widespread interest from clinicians, child welfare professionals, educationalists and parents. It has been considered "one of the most generative contemporary ideas" about family life in modern society. It is one of the last of the grand theories of human development that still retains an active research tradition. Attachment theory and research speak to fundamental questions about human emotions, relationships and development. They do so in terms that feel experience-near, with a remarkable combination of intuitive ideas and counter-intuitive assessments and conclusions. Over time, attachment theory seems to have become more, rather than less, appealing and popular, in part perhaps due to alignment with current concern with the lifetime implications of early brain development Cornerstones of Attachment Research re-examines the work of key laboratories that have contributed to the study of attachment. In doing so, the book traces the development in a single scientific paradigm through parallel but separate lines of inquiry. Chapters address the work of Bowlby, Ainsworth, Main and Hesse, Sroufe and Egeland, and Shaver and Mikulincer. Cornerstones of Attachment Research utilises attention to these five research groups as a lens on wider themes and challenges faced by attachment research over the decades. The chapters draw on a complete analysis of published scholarly and popular works by each research group, as well as much unpublished material.

Download or read book The Intelligent Patient Guide to Colorectal Cancer written by Michael Elliot Pezim and published by Intelligent Patient Guide. This book was released on 2005 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INTELLIGENCE FOR THE FIGHT AGAINST CANCER The second edition of the book on colorectal cancer (colon and rectal cancer) in the Intelligent Patient Guide series, national best-selling books for cancer patients and their families. Patients who take an active part in making decisions about their treatment are better able to deal with their illness than are patients who give control to their doctors. The book provides information on all aspects of colon and rectal cancer and equips patients with the knowledge needed to take an active part in their treatment. Topics include: what cancer is, the symptoms your doctor watches for, how you can prevent colorectal cancer, which screening test is best and when should it be started?, when to have surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation, which treatments to avoid, what actually happens when you undergo surgery, possible complications of surgery, side effects of chemotherapy and radiation, alternative treatments, and psychological effects of colorectal cancer. The following quote is by former CEO Canadian Cancer Society and National Cancer Institute of Canada: The Intelligent Patient Guide has been at my side for the last eight months as I fought cancer. When I needed (information) it never failed me. Dr.Pezim is the Medical Director of the Pezim Clinic, a gastrointestinal diagnostic and treatment centre in Vancouver. He received his MD from the University of Toronto Medical School and completed surgical training at the University of British Columbia. He was a Surgical and Research Fellow in colon and rectal surgery at St. Mark's Hospital in London, England and at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota. Prior to entering private practice, Dr. Pezim wasan Associate Professor of Surgery and Head of the Section of Colon and Rectal Surgery at the University of British Columbia, and a Consultant to the BC Cancer Agency. Dr. Owen is a Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the University of British Columbia and a Consultant Pathologist at the Vancouver General Hospital and the BC Cancer Agency. He received his medical training at St. Thomas' Hospital Medical School and became a lecturer in pathology at the University of London, in England. He was an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology at the University of Manitoba until moving to Vancouver in 1980. Dr. Owen has long been a favourite teacher of pathologists-in-training and is regarded as one of the most capable gastrointestinal pathologists in North America.

Download or read book Fact Fun In Surgery written by C S Rajan and published by . This book was released on 2021-03-29 with total page 504 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When I review my own professional life and its many satisfactions, the greatest is not the surgical operations I have performed, nor the thousands of patients that I have cured, but the successful young surgeons whose instruction and training I have directed." (George Heuer, 1882-1950). This is very true of my four-decade-long surgical career too. In the process of instruction and training of the young surgeon, I have had the habit of noting down various little bits of surgical, medical, and general facts to help me remember details, and recall, of the same. These have been taken from books and journals read, as well as noted down from conferences and meetings attended. Entries were made into little yearly diaries. Over the last two decades, I have used these as a good source of my material for the numerous surgical quiz shows I have conducted for the relevant audiences (mainly surgical postgraduates and residents of the MS and DNB general surgical streams) at City, State, and National levels. Also, as part of my Quiz shows are numerous 'filler slides' of surgical aphorisms, myths, and humour, making it into a whole session of 'Quizotainment'. I have now attempted to put together all these surgical and medical facts into some sort of order and grouping to help easy reference and retrieval. I have included surgical aphorisms and humour, too, to offer an angle of fun while assimilating the fact, hence the title Fact and Fun in Surgery. It is important to note that the vast majority of the facts and quotes are NOT my own, and for many of them, I have not been able to trace their origin. I immensely thank all these unmentioned contributors for having shared their facts in the surgical literature or discussions. I have listed the broad references of the books in which the majority of these facts and fun quips are mentioned, but the list is not complete. It is also relevant to note that these fact listings are not exhaustive, nor do they cover all disciplines of medicine. They are predominantly surgical, with a few from the grey areas between surgery and other specialities. By compiling this book of surgical and medical facts, I do hope to fill a small void in surgical learning at the student level. I have always maintained that a person with no sense of humour has no sense at all and so used the aphorism, the pun, and the light-hearted wit, judiciously, to cool down the burden of memorisation, and later, to help in the recall. The combination of fact with fun definitely helps retentiveness and recollection of the fact. The book will, perhaps, help teachers too, in their preparations for teaching sessions.

Download or read book Patterns of Attachment written by Mary D. Salter Ainsworth and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2015-06-26 with total page 514 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethological attachment theory is a landmark of 20th century social and behavioral sciences theory and research. This new paradigm for understanding primary relationships across the lifespan evolved from John Bowlby’s critique of psychoanalytic drive theory and his own clinical observations, supplemented by his knowledge of fields as diverse as primate ethology, control systems theory, and cognitive psychology. By the time he had written the first volume of his classic Attachment and Loss trilogy, Mary D. Salter Ainsworth’s naturalistic observations in Uganda and Baltimore, and her theoretical and descriptive insights about maternal care and the secure base phenomenon had become integral to attachment theory. Patterns of Attachment reports the methods and key results of Ainsworth’s landmark Baltimore Longitudinal Study. Following upon her naturalistic home observations in Uganda, the Baltimore project yielded a wealth of enduring, benchmark results on the nature of the child’s tie to its primary caregiver and the importance of early experience. It also addressed a wide range of conceptual and methodological issues common to many developmental and longitudinal projects, especially issues of age appropriate assessment, quantifying behavior, and comprehending individual differences. In addition, Ainsworth and her students broke new ground, clarifying and defining new concepts, demonstrating the value of the ethological methods and insights about behavior. Today, as we enter the fourth generation of attachment study, we have a rich and growing catalogue of behavioral and narrative approaches to measuring attachment from infancy to adulthood. Each of them has roots in the Strange Situation and the secure base concept presented in Patterns of Attachment. It inclusion in the Psychology Press Classic Editions series reflects Patterns of Attachment’s continuing significance and insures its availability to new generations of students, researchers, and clinicians.
