Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A medida que los jóvenes transitan por un natural proceso de búsqueda e individuación, sobre todo en el acelerado mundo que enfrentan en la actualidad, es habitual ver que se relacionan y tropiezan con conductas de riesgo y sustancias psicoactivas. En sus contextos de esparcimiento, estudios y convivencia social, resulta cada día más preocupante la alta incidencia de consumo de alcohol asociado a embriaguez, el uso de marihuana con baja percepción de riesgo, la automedicación de psicofármacos, el uso compulsivo de drogas estimulantes legales y la parición de las adicciones del comportamiento. Frente a este emergente escenario, la gran mayoría de las instituciones de educación superior no cuenta con programas claros y consistentes en el tiempo que promuevan el consumo responsable de alcohol o que actúen preventivamente frente al consumo de drogas ilegales. A partir de la experiencia del programa de Autocuidado en Drogas para Estudiantes Universitarios (PADEU), de la Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, y de otras experiencias nacionales e internacionales, este libro busca aportar al debate sobre el rol que deben asumir las instituciones de educación superior y todos los entes ligados a la educación, en la construcción de universidades promotoras de la salud y preventivas de conductas de riesgo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La tesis doctoral "Meta-análisis y evaluación científica de programas de drogodependencia" nos ofrece una pormenorizada revisión de varias de las principales cuestiones relacionadas con el complejo problema de la adicción a las drogas. Comienza con una revisión de las principales teorías que han tratado de explicar desde diferentes perspectivas (fundamentalmente la sociológica y la psicológica) el problema de la adicción a sustancias. A continuación se centra el análisis en la situación específica de Puerto Rico, tanto desde el punto de vista de la perspectiva histórica del incremento del consumo como desde la relación que se establece entre éste y la delincuencia. A continuación se revisan diferentes programas y modelos de tratamiento que se han implementado en Puerto Rico para el cuidado y tratamiento de los drogodependientes en diferentes momentos, ofreciéndose una valoración crítica de cada uno de ellos señalando cuáles son sus puntos fuertes y sus puntos débiles y la legislación en que se apoyan. De este análisis se sigue que su eficacia no resulta suficiente y se procede a destacar el incremento de la prevalencia del consumo de drogas en Puerto Rico. Se señala como característica importante su comorbilidad con diferentes trastornos mentales, del comportamiento y de la personalidad. A partir de ahí se plantea la conveniencia de tomar en consideración otro tipo de alternativas intermedias entre la legalización y la prohibición del uso de drogas. En las conclusiones se plantea un tratamiento integrado junto con la inclusión de los servicios de salud tenderá a reducir la demanda de drogas ilegales y, como consecuencia, la disminución de la oferta de este tipo de sustancias.

This book was released on 2002-03-04 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: (Publisher-supplied data) This book represents the first systematic discussion of the Gateway Hypothesis, a developmental hypothesis formulated to model how adolescents initiate and progress in the use of various drugs. In the United States, this progression proceeds from the use of tobacco or alcohol to the use of marijuana and other illicit drugs. This volume presents a critical overview of what is currently known about the Gateway Hypothesis. The authors of the chapters explore the hypothesis from various perspectives ranging from developmental social psychology to prevention and intervention science, animal models, neurobiology and analytical methodology. This volume is original and unique in its purview, covering a broad view of the Gateway Hypothesis. The juxtaposition of epidemiological, intervention, animal and neurobiological studies represents a new stage in the evolution of drug research, in which epidemiology and biology inform one another in the understanding of drug abuse.

Download or read book From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk written by Linda J. Koenig and published by Amer Psychological Assn. This book was released on 2004-01 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Child Sexual Abuse to Adult Sexual Risk examines the relation between child sexual abuse (CSA) and adult sexual health outcomes in men and women. An emerging body of literature suggests that children who experience sexual violence are more likely to engage in sexual risk behavior and, consequently, may be vulnerable to many negative reproductive and sexual health problems as adults. These problems include unwanted pregnancy, sexually transmitted diseases, HIV infection, and adult sexual violence. In this singular volume, leading researchers and clinicians integrate research from a variety of disciplines, including epidemiology, traumatology, and prevention science, to bridge the current scientific literatures on CSA, basic trauma research, and clinical practice. Chapters identify the theory and research-based cognitive, affective, social, and behavioral consequences of trauma that influence both sexual health and sexual risk behaviors in adulthood. The volume also highlights new approaches that begin to translate these findings into interventions for people who have experienced CSA. This comprehensive resource delineates an emerging field of research that will help set a new c

This highly recommended book is a valuable resource for all practitioners and students concerned about this very large, but often hidden group of individuals and families." From the Foreword by Sis Wenger President/CEO National Association for Children of Alcoholics Parental drug abuse and alcoholism have an enormously detrimental impact on children and adolescents. Children whose parents suffer from drug abuse or alcoholism often face multiple physical, mental, and behavioral issues. They are at a greater risk for depression, anxiety, low self esteem, and addiction, and also are known to have poor school attendance, difficulty concentrating, and lower IQ scores. This book offers health care practitioners proactive programs and innovative strategies to use with this vulnerable population. Taking a comprehensive, life course approach, the authors discuss the implications and interventions at the prenatal stage, through childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and adulthood. With this book, social workers and health care practitioners can help assess and intervene with children of substance abusing parents. Key topics: Dynamics in families with substance abusing parents and treatment implications Issues across the life span of children of substance abusing parents Prevention and early intervention programs for pregnant women who abuse substances Programs for young children, adolescents, college students, and children with incarcerated parents

Download or read book Harm Reduction Psychotherapy written by Andrew Tatarsky and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 2007-06-10 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. Harm reduction is a framework for helping drug and alcohol users who cannot or will not stop completely—the majority of users—reduce the harmful consequences of use. Harm reduction accepts that abstinence may be the best outcome for many but relaxes the emphasis on abstinence as the only acceptable goal and criterion of success. Instead, smaller incremental changes in the direction of reduced harmfulness of drug use are accepted. This book will show how these simple changes in emphasis and expectation have dramatic implications for improving the effectiveness of psychotherapy in many ways. From the Foreword by Alan Marlatt, Ph.D.: “This ground-breaking volume provides readers with both an overview of harm reduction therapy and a series of ten case studies, treated by different therapists, that vividly illustrate this treatment approach with a wide variety of clients. In his introduction, Andrew Tatarsky describes harm reduction as a new paradigm for treating drug and alcohol problems. Some would say that harm reduction embraces a paradigm shift in addiction treatment, as it has moved the field beyond the traditional abstinence-only focus typically associated with the disease model and the ideology of the twelve-step approach. Others may conclude that the move toward harm reduction represents an integration of what Dr. Tatarsky describes as the “basic principles of good clinical practice” into the treatment of addictive behaviors. “Changing addiction behavior is often a complex and complicated process for both client and therapist. What seems to work best is the development of a strong therapeutic alliance, the right fit between the client and treatment provider. The role of the harm reduction therapist is closer to that of a guide, someone who can provide support an

This book was released on 2021-04-30 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Anthropocene has become a field of studies in which the influence of human activity on the Earth System and nature is both the main threat and the potential solution. Social Representations Theory has been evolving since the 1960s.It links knowledge and practice in everyday life and is an effective way to deal with systemic crises based on common sense. This book assembles key contributions by Latin American scholars working with social representations in the social sciences that are of conceptual relevance to the study of the Anthropocene and that investigate the societal consequences of complex interrelations between common sense and topics of global relevance, such asthe contradictions of sustainable development, the construction of risks beyond risk-perception, health, negotiation and governance in the field of education, gender equality, the usefulness of longitudinal and systemic ethnography and case studies, and agency and the link between inequality, crises and risk society in the context of COVID-19, presenting theoretical and methodological innovations fromSpanish, Portuguese and Frenchresearchthat have rarely been available in English. • This is the first book to address the relevance of Social Representations Theory for the Anthropocene as a societal era• It presents the multidisciplinary scope of Social Representations• This book covers emerging research contributions in Social Representations Theory from Latin America• This book presents innovative research and commentaries by established researchers in the field• This multidisciplinary book should be in the libraries of many disciplines in the social sciences and humanities
