Download or read book Theory and Assessment of Stressful Life Events written by Thomas W. Miller and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examined in this volume are theoretical components that range from the impact of psycho-neuro-immunology on stress to the impact of psycho-social stress on gene expression, the role of neurobiology and its effects on traumatization and resulting psychopathology, to clinical models that aid us in understanding the process of experiencing stressful life events and the subsequent accommodation of stress in our lives. Examined as well is the role of stress and physical illness and efforts of clinicians and researchers to develop an integrative model in understanding the spectrum of stress phenomena, related to physical and mental illness. Personality variables are seen as moderating the relationship between stress and psychological or physical illness. Concepts such as psychological hardiness may play a mediating or buffer role in the accommodation of stress.

Download or read book Creating a Comprehensive Trauma Center written by Mary Beth Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Thoughts on Creating Comprehensive Trauma Centers This volume has been many years in writing. When Dr. Donald Meichenbaum first suggested it and I approached my coauthor Lasse Nurmi, it did not seem to be as formidable a task as it has become. Interviewing the centers in this book has taken years-to get responses, to summarize those responses, and to return the summaries for further comment. Many centers have been created in that time; others have suspended operation. This volume does not claim to present even a majority of those centers. However, the ones contained herein are representative of "what is out there. " The idea to create a comprehensive trauma center is not new. The initial section of this forward examines thoughts I proposed as part of my compre hensive examination for my doctorate. Many of the ideas proposed then (1989) seem to fit now. It is my dream to put them into practice someday in the future. THE COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION QUESTION In 1989, one question on the written comprehensive examination ques tions for my doctorate was, "If you were to create a comprehensive trauma center in your suburban area, making use of what you have learned in your [doctoral] experience, describe the organization of that center, the mission, structure, personnel, funding, objectives, and services it would offer. " Some of the conclusions reached then now seem applicable to the task at hand: design ing comprehensive trauma centers (CTCs) for the 21st century.

Download or read book Individual and Community Responses to Trauma and Disaster written by Robert J. Ursano and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1995-08-24 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aims of this book are twofold: to improve understanding of the human experience of trauma, whether at the level of the individual or the community, and to help those who are its victims. The range of issues covered is impressive, from the biological basis of post-traumatic stress reactions, through practical strategies for prevention and treatment, to the psychosocial and fictional construction of terror. Wherever possible the editors have sought to impart understanding, order, and predictability to the experience of trauma and disasters in the belief that the way to recovery is through the mastery of chaotic events. This book will serve and inform clinicians, administrators and research workers in psychiatry, psychology, public health and related areas.

Book excerpt: Taking its title from the second 50 years of the human life span of about 100 years, this book presents wide-ranging and practical recommendations for health care providers, policymakers, and other sectors of society. These recommendations range from setting new national policies to changing the way elderly patients are interviewed in the doctor's office and from what exercises older persons should do to how city planners should design our urban environment.

In addition, the authors provide a detailed analysis of why older people often do not receive the benefit of prevention programs.
Download or read book Human Services and the Media written by Edward Allan Brawley and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 1995 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This practical guide demonstrates how to work with newspapers, magazines, radio and television to promote social programs and to shape public policy. It includes numerous examples of how cooperative efforts with the media have improved the public's understanding of the helping profession, educated the community about social problems, and spread preventive messages. An informed and supportive public at large is critical to the success of programs promoting health and mental health, and the mass media are the most powerful means of reaching the public. Yet few human services professionals know how to tap into this power.
