Download or read book International Case Studies in Mental Health written by Senel Poyrazli and published by SAGE Publications. This book was released on 2012-04-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: International Case Studies in Mental Health presents a variety of global cases from both developed and developing countries, detailing descriptions of the people who are seeking help to eliminate their distress and of the exceptional practitioners who provide the help. In most of the cases, the practitioner is someone who shares a similar heritage with her or his help seeker, and who is influenced at least partly by Western psychotherapy traditions. Each chapter also is a showcase of how scholars pair up with mental health practitioners to create a work that weaves together contextual and individual qualities to inform an understanding of the help-seeker and the intervention. This book aims to help prepare both mental health trainees and practicing professionals to be effective in the provision of healing in their work with people in different regions of the world. Consequently, the authors hope to offer practitioners a glimpse of what can be achieved in these regions by people whose reputations within the respective communities are strong.

Download or read book Parental Response to Child Sexual Abuse in Zimbabwe Formative Research for Intervention Development written by Christopher Okoth Obong'o and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nearly 31% of females and 17% of males experienced child sexual abuse (CSA) globally in 2012. In Zimbabwe, about 33% of young women aged 18-24 years experienced sexual abuse by age 18 in 2013. Because CSA perpetrators are likely to be someone known to the victim and the abuse likely to be perpetrated at the home of the victim, parents and other adult caregivers are in a unique position to support timely CSA disclosure and reporting. The purpose of this study was to generate information for development of interventions to strengthen CSA disclosure and reporting in Zimbabwe. The primary aim was to explore factors that influence intentions to disclose and report CSA. In addition, the study examined the association of parenting factors with children’s intentions to disclose CSA. The study analyzed formative and baseline survey data from an intervention trial in which focus group discussions (FGDs) with children (n=40) and parents (n=40) and, audio computer assisted self-interviewing with children (n=260) were conducted. Analysis of data from FGDs with children identified nine themes representing factors influencing children’s intentions to disclose CSA to parents. Three of these themes—discomfort discussing sex-related issues with parents, perceived negative and ineffective response from parents—relate to parenting factors. Similarly, FGDs with parents identified eleven themes representing factors influencing parents’ intentions to report a disclosed CSA. From analysis of quantitative data, children’s higher scores on parent-child communication about CSA was associated with increased odds of reporting a positive intention to disclose CSA. After adjusting for all measured confounders, each unit increase on parent-child communication about CSA scale was associated with three fold increase in odds of reporting positive intentions to disclose CSA (OR=3.37, 95%CI: 1.5, 7.56). By applying a mixed method design, and integrating perspectives of parents and children, this study identified additional factors and important nuances, thus broadening the breadth of understanding of previously documented factors associated with children’s CSA disclosure. These findings will augment available information needed for development and adaptation of targeted, evidence-based and culturally relevant CSA response interventions in Goromonzi District and other parts of Zimbabwe. .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Modern Man is hypocritically boasting of unprecedented material progress in a world , where ,inter-alia millions daily go to bed hungry, die or get killed through unwanted wars and preventable causes, live in inhumane conditions , vulnerable being exploited , with ever widening inequality , and might still ruling over right in international relations, even in the post UDHR era! an indictment on the collective conscience of mankind. Besides, the flame of materialism has been devouring time tested moral values, causing chaos within the basic unit in society- the family and relegating Man and his dignity to the level of animals and even manipulating his identity. Therefore questions arise: Is Moral law fading ; are political/economic systems and institutions like UN failing in realizing the lofty goal of affording due dignity , basic rights and social justice humanity deserves? Can the bystanders be mere onlookers anymore? This book seeks to dispassionately survey the yawning gap between the rhetoric and the ground reality in bringing about dignity and social justice for humanity from bystanders perspective in the light of these questions and underlines the imperative need for moral progress to go hand in hand to make Man assume his due role as the trustee on earth. It also exhorts bystanders to close ranks as human- dignity champions, rights defenders, identity protectors- against onslaughts from power hungry politicians, mighty powers and vested interests. This is the need of the times and what our future progeny demands.
