Abstract

This book is a state-of-the-art educational resource on the latest research and public-policy developments in the fields of wellness promotion and disease prevention. Based on award-winning lectures by University of California faculty on nine campuses as part of the Wellness Lectures Program jointly funded by The California Wellness Foundation, Health Net, and the University of California, the volume aims to widen the scope of health care research and policy to promote wellness rather than focus on illness and disease, and to incorporate proactive, interdisciplinary approaches to health care.

Abstract

This volume is the first to explore broadly many important theoretical and applied issues concerning the mental health of Appalachians. The authors -- anthropologists, psychologists, social workers and others -- overturn many assumptions held by earlier writers, who have tended to see Appalachia and its people as being dominated by a culture of poverty.While the heterogeneity of the region is acknowledged in the diversity of sub-areas and populations discussed, dominant themes emerge concerning Appalachia as a whole. The result of the authors' varied approaches is a cumulative portrait of a st

Abstract

Naast de belangstelling voor de fysische vervuiling van het leefmilieu is er een groeiende belangstelling voor het voorspellen en begrijpen van het woongedrag. Dit begon met Calhoun's (1962) studie van de gedragseffecten van overbevolking en resulteerde in een nieuw interdisciplinair onderzoeksdomein: de omgevingspsychologie. Dit boek is een inleiding tot de omgevingspsychologische resultaten, onderzoeksmethodes en theorieën. De volgende onderwerpen worden besproken: de problemen die de omgevingspsycholoog bestudeert; wat is een leefbaar milieu ; individuele verschillen in verband met de fysische omgeving; waarneming van de dagelijkse omgeving; motivationele aspecten van het ruimtelijk gedrag; antwoordtechnieken en presentatietechnieken. Uitgaande van de vraag wat een psychologisch leefbaar milieu is, wordt nagegaan hoeveel en welke omgevingsvariabelen psychologisch belangrijk zijn. De kennis hierover is nog fragmentair, maar relevant voor architecten en planologen. De omgevingspsycholoog verifieert hun vooronderstellingen over de wisselwerking tussen de omgeving enerzijds en waarnemingen, ruimtelijk gedrag, emoties en behoeften anderzijds. Daardoor kan beter aangegeven worden of een woonbeleid effectief zal zijn. De omgevingspychologie is ook bevruchtend voor de psychologie, vooral voor de psychodiagnostiek en ook voor de organisatiepsychologie. Zij belicht het samenspel tussen context en persoon. Zij gaf aanleiding tot de ontwikkeling van meetinstrumenten voor iemands omgevingsgevoeligheid en voor het waargenomen organisatieklimaat. Zo stimuleert zij theorievorming en onderzoek waar niet zozeer aandacht besteed wordt aan omgevingsfactoren of individuele kenmerken op zich, maar waar de wisselwerking tussen beide als bron voor de gedragsvariabiliteit beschouwd wordt.

Abstract

Cutting, burning, branding, and bone-breaking are all types of self-injury, or the deliberate, non-suicidal destruction of one’s own body tissue, a practice that emerged from obscurity in the 1990's and spread dramatically as a typical behavior among adolescents. Long considered a suicidal gesture, The Tender Cut argues instead that self-injury is often a coping mechanism, a form of teenage angst, an expression of group membership, and a type of rebellion, converting unbearable emotional pain into manageable physical pain. Based on the largest, qualitative, non-clinical population of self-injurers ever gathered, noted ethnographers Patricia and Peter Adler draw on 150 interviews with self-injurers from all over the world, along with 30,000-40,000 internet posts in chat rooms and communiqués. Their 10-year longitudinal research follows the practice of self-injury from its early days when people engaged in it alone and did not know others, to the present, where a subculture has formed via cyberspace that shares similar norms, values, lore, vocabulary, and interests. An important portrait of a troubling behavior, The Tender Cut illuminates the meaning of self-injury in the 21st century, its effects on current and former users, and its future as a practice for self-discovery or a cry for help.
