Download or read book Psychosocial Health Work and Language written by Stéphanie Cassilde and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-02-13 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the construction of categorizations of health at work on the basis of individuals’ perceptions and analyses of the psychosocial health effects at their work. The volume approaches the subject from the point of view of those who have experienced psychosocial risks at work, either by being under constraints themselves or by being witness to such constraints. Each chapter sheds light on their representations by examining how the individuals label these constraints. The book compares official categorizations of psychosocial health effects of work to unofficial categorizations, built or expressed. It shows how taking into account subjective narratives may reinforce existing strategies. By giving a central place to language in the analysis of the representations of psychosocial health at work, the volume provides additional information about the various prevention and coping strategies that can be used for dealing with the issue. Beyond some international comparisons, the book covers various national case studies, including in Argentina, Belgium, Canada, Chechnya, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, and Russia.
Download or read book Mental Illnesses written by Luciano LAbate and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2012-01-13 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the book "Mental Illnesses - Evaluation, Treatments and Implications" attention is focused on background factors underlying mental illness. It is crucial that mental illness be evaluated thoroughly if we want to understand its nature, predict its long-term outcome, and treat it with specific rather than generic treatment, such as pharmacotherapy for instance. Additionally, community-wide and cognitive-behavioral approaches need to be combined to decrease the severity of symptoms of mental illness. Unfortunately, those who should profit the most by combination of treatments, often times refuse treatment or show poor adherence to treatment maintenance. Most importantly, what are the implications of the above for the mental health community? Mental illness cannot be treated with one single form of treatment. Combined individual, community, and socially-oriented treatments, including recent distance-writing technologies will hopefully allow a more integrated approach to decrease mental illness world-wide.

Download or read book Les lipides nutrition et sant written by LERAY Claude and published by Lavoisier. This book was released on 2013-04-04 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Les substances lipidiques ont longtemps été négligées par les physiologistes, mais des recherches épidémiologiques les ont récemment portées sur le devant de la scène, notamment au travers de leur intérêt dans les domaines de la nutrition et surtout de la santé chez l’Homme. Outre leur importance énergétique, les lipides interviennent dans de nombreux mécanismes cellulaires dont les dérèglements peuvent conduire à des pathologies parfois graves. En effet, en plus de leur impact sur les maladies métaboliques, les systèmes cardiovasculaire et immunitaire et les processus de cancérisation, le système nerveux central peut lui aussi être altéré à des degrés divers par une carence ou un déséquilibre entre les constituants lipidiques ingérés. Après quelques rappels historiques sur la découverte des lipides et leur utilisation, une première partie décrit les principaux lipides présents dans notre ration alimentaire. Puis, les besoins avérés ou éventuels de l’Homme en divers acides gras, stérols et vitamines appartenant au groupe des lipides, sont passés en revue. Enfin, l’impact des principaux lipides sur des pathologies naguère encore peu explorées sous cet aspect est exposé en détail. Les lipides – Nutrition et santé présente, de façon synthétique, un très large panorama de toutes les facettes des lipides, des acides gras aux corps gras les moins abondants, mais tout aussi importants pour l’équilibre de notre organisme. Il permet aux spécialistes de revisiter les principales sources de lipides présentes dans notre alimentation en insistant sur leur production et leur composition. Cet ouvrage s’adresse aux chercheurs, médecins généralistes et spécialistes, diététiciens et étudiants évoluant dans de nombreux domaines tels que la biologie cellulaire, la nutrition ou encore la pharmacologie.
Download or read book Law and Mental Health written by David N. Weisstub and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-10-22 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Law and Mental Health: International Perspectives, Volume 3 considers the jurisprudence and models of legislation concerning public mental health that suit the particular requirements of different cultural and geographical regions. This book is composed of five chapters and begins with the major accomplishment both for Dutch legal psychiatry and for the English language audience, followed by a survey of the civil dimensions of the forensic system. The next chapter tackles the primary variables in assessing terrorism, including the social, political, religious, and economic factors, which, coupled with highly complex variables of psychological predisposition, can give some guarded inroads with respect to the limits of the knowledge in predicting and reacting to terrorist incidents. These topics are followed by discussions on the techniques for assessment designed for the differentiated legal questions in criminal, civil, and juvenile and family law. A chapter focuses on the measured assessments of the parameters of the professional knowledge about the nature of dangerous behavior based on clinical and research investigation. The final chapter contains a precise summary of the research that is to be done on a spectrum of techniques for assessing malingering. Mental health workers, forensic experts, and policy makers will find this book invaluable.
Download or read book quoi sert la philanthropie written by Hilary M. Pearson and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2024-10-15 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pour la plupart des Canadiens et Canadiennes, le monde de la philanthropie et des fondations privées demeure mystérieux. Parfois comparées de façon mémorable à des girafes, les fondations sont des créatures qui ne devraient pas exister. Pourtant, elles existent bel et bien, et elles sont même entourées d’une aura mystique. Dans À quoi sert la philanthropie?, Hilary Pearson démystifie le monde de la philanthropie canadienne en dressant un portrait du paysage actuel des fondations et en mettant en lumière des organisations qui agissent avec détermination face à certains des défis sociaux et économiques les plus pressants de notre époque : les changements climatiques, l’avenir des villes, l’éducation et l’évolution de la main-d’œuvre, le logement et le besoin urgent de réparer et d’établir de nouvelles relations avec les peuples autochtones. Mme Pearson, qui a travaillé pendant deux décennies auprès des dirigeants de fondations à travers le Canada, nous offre un regard intime sur la façon dont ces organisations continuent d’évoluer. Par le biais d’entretiens personnels effectués auprès de la direction de fondations privées – grandes ou petites, établies de longue date ou nouvellement créées – elle décrit les stratégies et les efforts déployés par des fondations canadiennes pour rassembler les parties prenantes de la société, faire le plaidoyer de causes importantes, servir comme intermédiaires ou créer des partenariats. À une époque marquée par des divisions sociales et des inégalités croissantes, À quoi sert la philanthropie? constitue une contribution opportune au débat actuel sur la légitimité de la philanthropie organisée. Mme Pearson défend avec conviction le rôle primordial joué par la philanthropie privée pour relever les défis d’une époque en pleine mutation.
Download or read book The Palgrave Handbook of Sociocultural Perspectives on Global Mental Health written by Ross G. White and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-01-20 with total page 802 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This handbook incisively explores challenges and opportunities that exist in efforts aimed at addressing inequities in mental health provision across the globe. Drawing on various disciplines across the humanities, psychology, and social sciences it charts the emergence of Global Mental Health as a field of study. It critically reflects on efforts and interventions being made to globalize mental health policies, and discusses key themes relevant for understanding and supporting the mental health needs of people living in diverse socio-economical and cultural environments. Over three rich sections, the handbook critically engages with Global Mental Health discourses. To help guide future efforts to support mental health and wellbeing in different parts of the world, the third section of the handbook consists of case studies of innovative mental health policy and practice, which are presented from a variety of different perspectives. This seminal handbook will appeal to a transnational community of post-graduate students, academics and practitioners, from global health to transcultural psychiatry and medical anthropology. It will be also of interest to researchers and clinical practitioners, policy makers and non-governmental organisations involved in cross-cultural mental health work.

Download or read book Trauma and Mental Health in the Wake of a Technological Disaster written by Erik De Soir and published by Maklu. This book was released on 2015 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gas explosion in Ghislenghien (Belgium, July 2004) instantly killed five firefighters, one police officer and 18 civilians. Moreover, 132 people were wounded and many of them suffered severe burn injuries. This book aims at clarifying the impact of a technological disaster, both phenomenologically and empirically. It also wishes to enhance the understanding of the challenges for psychological help in the wake of technological disaster. On the phenomenological side, the experiences of a disaster survivor are used to set the stage for a discussion on the conceptual differences between mainstream (Anglo-Saxon) trauma theories and the more classical (French) psychodynamic theories. Three chapters provide contextual information on the trauma inflicted by a massive explosion. On the empirical side, the focus is on the prevalence of posttraumatic stress symptoms in adult and child survivors of a massive gas explosion, in their family members as well as in family members of deceased victims. Four chapters provide a quantitative approach of trauma-related mental health disturbances in adults and children after a technological disaster. The results clearly indicate the influence of the degree of exposure, peritraumatic dissociation and dissatisfaction with social support on the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms. The risk for the development of four types of mental health disturbances (somatization, depression, anxiety and sleeping disturbances) was much higher in direct witnesses who have seen human damage. The epilogue discusses possible future developments for early psychophysiological stabilization of disaster victims.
Download or read book Weariness of the Self written by Alain Ehrenberg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2010 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression, once a subfield of neurosis, has become the most diagnosed mental disorder in the world. Why and how has depression become such a topical illness and what does it tell us about changing ideas of the individual and society? Alain Ehrenberg investigates the history of depression and depressive symptoms across twentieth-century psychiatry, showing that identifying depression is far more difficult than a simple diagnostic distinction between normal and pathological sadness - the one constant in the history of depression is its changing definition. Drawing on the accumulated knowledge of a lifetime devoted to the study of the individual in modern democratic society, Ehrenberg shows that the phenomenon of modern depression is not a construction of the pharmaceutical industry but a pathology arising from inadequacy in a social context where success is attributed to, and expected of, the autonomous individual. In so doing, he provides both a novel and convincing description of the illness that clarifies the intertwining relationship between its diagnostic history and changes in social norms and values. The first book to offer both a global sociological view of contemporary depression and a detailed description of psychiatric reasoning and its transformation - from the invention of electroshock therapy to mass consumption of Prozac - The Weariness of the Self offers a compelling exploration of depression as social fact.
