  • Medical Feminism, Working Mothers, and the Limits of Home: Finding A
    ARTICLE Received 1 Mar 2016 | Accepted 3 Jun 2016 | Published 12 Jul 2016 DOI: 10.1057/palcomms.2016.42 OPEN Medical feminism, working mothers, and the limits of home: finding a balance between self-care and other-care in cross-cultural debates about health and lifestyle, 1952–1956 Frederick Cooper1 ABSTRACT Post-war medical debates about the psychiatric consequences of married women’s economic behaviour witnessed far more divergence and collision between per- spectives than has often been acknowledged. Practitioners who approached women primarily as facilitators of family health—as wives and mothers—were mistrustful of the competing demands presented by paid employment. They were faced by a growing spectrum of opinion, however, which represented women as atrophying in the confines of domestic life, and which positioned work as a therapeutic act. Advocates of work tapped into anxieties about family instability by emphasizing the dangers posed by frustrated housewives, shifting clinical faith away from full-time motherhood, but nevertheless allowing responsibilities towards husbands and children to continue to frame argument about women’s behaviour. Doctors, researchers and social critics, in this context, became preoccupied with questions of balance, mapping a path which sought to harmonize public and private fulfilment, identity and responsibility. This article traces this discursive shift through a series of conferences held by the Medical Women’s International Association during the early-to-mid 1950s, connecting debates in Britain with systems of broader intellectual exchange. It enriches and complicates historical knowledge of post-war relationships between medicine and feminism, at the same time as offering a conceptual and linguistic context for modern discussion about work-life balance and gender.

    111021_02_RisperdalConsta_Deltoid_Advert 170x240.pdf 2/5/2013 7:46:18 μμ C M Y CM MY CY CMY K Dear colleagues, After the great success of ICNP2011, this third Congress aims again at being useful for the clinician who fights everyday in the first line for the treatment of real-world patients. In this frame, our goal is to provide a global and comprehensive update of the newest developments in Psychiatry and the allied sciences, in a way which should be both focused and enriched. Once more, many world experts have been invited to share with us their knowledge and experience, again under the support and guidance of the World Psychiatric Association and the Auspices of the School of Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki and important international associations. The central axis is the teaching and application of clinical useful new knowledge with special focus on the informed treatment with psychopharmacological agents in a truly multidisciplinary approach. Although the congress will embrace high tech research concerning psychopathology, new treatment methods, genetics and molecular biology, it also aims to put the emphasis on the human factor, both the therapist and the patient. Because apart from the humanistic tradition of psychiatry and allied sciences, the continuous and unconditional investment on the high level training of professionals and the education of patients and their families, has emerged as a significant challenge during the last few decades. Citizen empowerment should be the ultimate goal. Medical scientists and public health policy makers are increasingly concerned that the scientific discoveries are failing to be translated efficiently into tangible human benefit.

  • The Subjective Experience of People with Severe Mental Illness: a Potentially Crucial Piece of the Puzzle
    Isr J Psychiatry Relat Sci Vol 42 No. 4 (2005) 223–230 The Subjective Experience of People with Severe Mental Illness: A Potentially Crucial Piece of the Puzzle David Roe, PhD,1 and Max Lachman, PhD2 1 Rutgers University, New Jersey, U.S.A. 2 Rehabilitation Psychiatric Services, Ministry of Health, Mental Health Department, Jerusalem, Israel. Abstract: Over the last two decades there has been growing interest in the subjective experiences of persons with severe mental illness (SMI). Despite this interest, little research has been carried out to understand whether and how such ex- periences are related to the course of SMI. In addition, few psychotherapeutic and rehabilitation interventions have been developed especially for persons with SMI that seriously take these persons’ subjective experiences into account. In the present paper we discuss why the use and investigation of the subjective experience of people with SMI has been neglected, and we point out the potential importance of this experience. We then review the growing literature that fo- cuses on the subjective experience of (1) the illness, (2) the self, and (3) the self as influenced by the social context of persons with SMI. Finally, the implications of this review for rehabilitation, recovery and research are discussed.

  • 1 Psychiatric Knowledge on the Soviet Periphery: Mental Health And
    Psychiatric knowledge on the Soviet periphery: mental health and disorder in East Germany and Czechoslovakia, 1948-1975 Sarah Victoria Marks UCL PhD History of Medicine 1 Plagiarism Statement I, Sarah Victoria Marks confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis traces the development of concepts and aetiologies of mental disorder in East Germany and Czechoslovakia under Communism, drawing on material from psychiatry and its allied disciplines, as well as discourses on mental health in the popular press and Party literature. I explore the transnational exchanges that shaped these concepts during the Cold War, including those with the USSR, China and other countries in the Soviet sphere of influence, as well as engagement with science from the 'West'. It challenges assumptions about the 'pavlovization' and top-down control of psychiatry, demonstrating that researchers were far from isolated from international developments, and were able to draw on a broad range of theoretical models (albeit providing they employed certain political or linguistic man). In turn, the flow of knowledge also occurred from the periphery to the centre. Rather than casting the history of psychiatry as one of the scientific community in opposition to the Party, I explore the methods individuals used to further their professional and personal interests, and examples of psychiatrists who engaged ± whether explicitly or reluctantly ± in the project of building socialism as a consequence. I also address broader questions about the history of psychiatry after 1945, a period which is still overshadowed in the literature by 19th century asylum studies and histories of psychoanalysis.

What happens in a hypnotherapy session There are different types of hypnotherapy, and different ways of hypnotising someone. After this, the hypnotherapist may: lead you into a deeply relaxed state use your agreed methods to help you towards your goals — for example, suggesting that you don't want to carry out a certain habit gradually bring you out of the trance You're fully in control when under hypnosis and don't have to take on the therapist's suggestions if you don't want to. If necessary, you can bring yourself out of the hypnotic state. Hypnosis doesn't work if you don't want to be hypnotised. Important Don't use hypnotherapy if you have psychosis or certain types of personality disorder, as it could make your condition worse. Check with your GP first if you've got a personality disorder. Yes, sometimes. More specifically, hypnosis is a form of hypnotherapy, which is a form of psychotherapy. As a result, hypnosis is sometimes used during counseling to relax a patient or client. Note: Those, who have psychotic symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations, should speak to a qualified hypnotherapist or psychologist to determine if this therapy is right for them. This method is commonly used to control or stop unwanted or unhealthy behaviors like smoking, gambling, nail-biting, and excessive eating. Studies have suggested that it may also be beneficial for those with chronic pain.
