Download or read book El problema del embarazo en la adolescencia Contribuciones a un debate written by Claudio Stern and published by El Colegio de Mexico AC. This book was released on 2012 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El embarazo en la adolescencia es considerado como un riesgo para la salud materna e infantil, así como un factor que contribuye al desmesurado crecimiento de la población, a la deserción escolar, y a la perpetuación de la pobreza, al coartar las posibilidades de desarrollo familiar. Sus causas se atribuyen principalmente a la sexualidad precoz y a la falta de información y de acceso a los métodos anticonceptivos. Esta publicación pone en cuestión los supuestos antes mencionados, destacando dos factores realmente subyacentes a esta problemática: la pobreza y la desigualdad, que dejan pocas oportunidades alternativas de desarrollo a una gran cantidad de nuestros jóvenes, y la falta de una verdadera educación para el ejercicio de la sexualidad que les permita enfrentarse con responsabilidad a este aspecto tan central para su vida.
Download or read book Sexual Orientation and Transgender Issues in Organizations written by Thomas Köllen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-25 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last decade workforce diversity has attracted much scientific attention. Given the shortage of literature on issues related to homosexual, bisexual and transgender employees, compared to other facets of workforce diversity, this book opens up new perspectives on this issue. Emphasis is placed on the equal consideration of gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender issues. Thus the predominance of lesbian and gay issues in LGBT research (and practice), will be contrasted by an explicit consideration of the unique experiences, stressors and related needs of bisexual and transgender employees. Contributions provide deeper insights into the differing experiences the whole spectrum of LGBT employees make in the workplace in different national and occupational contexts. Furthermore, the collection offers contextualized insights for evaluating and conceptualizing organizational initiatives aiming at a higher level of inclusion for LGBT employees.
Download or read book Psychopharmacological Issues in Geriatrics written by Unax Lertxundi and published by Bentham Science Publishers. This book was released on 2015-04-28 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Demographic changes due to improved life expectancy and access to medical care has increased the number of people aged 65 years and beyond. This raises an important new challenge for healthcare professionals. Changes in organ functions, homeostatic mechanisms and receptor responsiveness impair drug distribution, metabolism and excretion, and reduce the effectiveness of medicines among geriatric patients. As a consequence, management of medical regimens is much more challenging in the elderly than in younger adult patients. Elderly patients are also more susceptible than other age groups to certain drug-drug interactions, drug-disease interactions and adverse drug reactions owing to the number of drugs administered. Polypharmacy and potentially inappropriate medication is a common finding in the elderly healthcare and it is considered a public health issue related to morbidity, mortality and health care resource use. Psychopharmacological Issues in Geriatrics can be regarded as a ‘pharmacovigilance’ manual for elderly patients as it presents recommendations for geriatric prescription with specific considerations. The book also provides a comprehensive review of specific classes of psychopharmacological agents used to treat geriatric patients, including antipsychotics, anxiolytics, hypnotics and mood stabilizers. The book is intended as a handbook for general medical and nursing practitioners.
Download or read book Salud ele Mental written by Fernando Ulloa and published by Libros del Zorzal. This book was released on 2020 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este vagar del pensamiento […] por caminos sin metas es semejante al pensar pensando, donde cada tanto nos sorprende un descubrimiento con valor de meta. En cuanto a las metas sin caminos, entiendo que se corresponden con hacer pasar los resultados de ese pensar distraído por el trazado que reconoce los rigores de la escritura. Algo así como trazar caminos para esas metas descubiertas en la distracción […]. Esta soltura me ayuda y me reconcilia con el escribir en este momento”. Salud ele-Mental. Con toda la mar detrás recorre, por momentos “hablando al azar de la memoria y sus vicisitudes”, conceptos clave de la psicología social como la Numerosidad Social, entre otros, al tiempo que propone una reconceptualización de la salud mental, desde (mejor dicho, con) la propia voz de su autor. Fernando Ulloa nos dejó en estas páginas no sólo parte de su vasta experiencia como “operador en la producción de salud mental”, sino también muchas de sus percepciones sobre temas que trascienden el campo de la psicología, del cual es considerado nada menos que uno de sus precursores en nuestro país.
Download or read book LGBT Populations and Cancer in the Global Context written by Ulrike Boehmer and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-21 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) also known as sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations have been the focus of global attention. Most importantly, LGBT populations have been addressed in the context of human rights in multiple reports and other activities by the United Nations and other international organizations. There is great variation among countries in the recognition of LGBT individuals’ human rights. A global focus on LGBT populations’ health is still limited, with the notable exception of HIV research. This book on LGBT populations and cancer in the global context is, therefore, an important step in that it will broaden the focus on LGBT populations’ health. Globally, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Cancer morbidity and mortality are increasing disproportionately among populations in lower-income countries. A review conducted by the World Health Organization (WHO) found that of the 82% of member states (158) countries, only 35% of the national cancer control plans addresses vulnerable population, including LGBT populations. These findings reflect an increasing awareness about equity when addressing cancer prevention and control, including LGBT populations. This book addresses LGBT populations’ cancer burden across countries that range from high- to low-income countries to support efforts in diverse countries that are working towards reducing LGBT populations’ cancer burden. It documents place-specific challenges that impede progress towards reducing the LGBT cancer burden as well as critically assesses the variation in cancer control efforts that target LGBT populations and cancer to support progress at a global scale. This book includes six sections that cover the six WHO regions, with each chapter written by an author from the specific region s/he is covering. Each chapter makes use of a template that contextualizes the region, local data collection/availability, risk factors, cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, and survivorship.

Download or read book Psychopathology in Women written by Margarita Sáenz-Herrero and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-15 with total page 868 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines sex and gender differences in the causes and expression of medical conditions, including mental health disorders. Sex differences are variations attributable to individual reproductive organs and the XX or XY chromosomal complement. Gender differences are variations that result from biological sex as well as individual self-representation which include psychological, behavioural, and social consequences of an individual’s perceived gender. Gender is still a neglected field in psychopathology, and gender differences is often incorrectly used as a synonym of sex differences. A reconsideration of the definition of gender, as the term that subsumes masculinity and femininity, could shed some light on this misperception and could have an effect in the study of health and disease. This second edition of Psychopathology clarifies the anthropological, cultural and social aspects of gender and their impact on mental health disorders. It focuses on gender perspective as a paradigm not only in psychopathology but also in mental health disorders. As such it promotes open mindedness in the definition and perception of symptoms, as well as assumptions about those symptoms, and raises awareness of mental health.

Download or read book LGBTQ Affirmative Psychological Interventions written by Reynel Alexander Chaparro and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-06-12 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents descriptions of interventions, results of empirical research, and theoretical contributions developed by Latine/x psychologists based on affirmative approaches aimed at promoting acceptance and understanding of LGBTIQ+ people. Contributions in this volume bring together the work of Latine/x scholars, practitioners, and activists across five Latin American countries or territories (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Puerto Rico) and in the United States, in an effort to provide multicultural perspectives to LGBTIQ+ affirmative psychological interventions that highlight local, regional and national particularities. Chapters in this volume go beyond contributions made by applied psychology fields (e.g., clinical and counselling psychology), where affirmative orientations are predominantly located, and include contributions from other fields of psychological research such as social and community psychology. The book is divided in two parts. Chapters in the first part focus on the experiences of trans and gender non-conforming people, with emphasis on contemporary systemic issues that affect gender identity among Latine/x communities and those who do not conform to hegemonic narratives about gender. Chapters in the second part focus on sexual identity among Latine/x LGBTIQ+ people and their families and communities. Contributions in this part present discussions about sexual orientation (grouped in LG/LGB identities), sex and gender dissidence, and the inclusion of intersex. LGBTQ+ Affirmative Psychological Interventions: A Latine/x Perspective will be of interest to both researchers and practitioners in different fields of psychology – such as clinical, counselling, social, and community psychology – interested in a multicultural perspective to understand and develop LGBTQ+ affirmative actions to fight against the repathologization of individuals, groups, families and diverse communities.
