  • Power and Resistance in Biomedical and Midwifery Models of Birth

Worley ii Name: KATHRYN WORMAN ROSS Date of Degree: MAY, 2013 Title of Study: “BECAUSE IT IS MY BODY, AND I OWN IT, AND I AM IN CHARGE”: POWER AND RESISTANCE IN BIOMEDICAL AND MIDWIFERY MODELS OF BIRTH Major Field: SOCIOLOGY Abstract: I utilize participant observation, autoethnography and in-depth interviews with women who have given birth at home and homebirth midwives in Oklahoma to understand perceptions and responses to society’s hegemonic birth system, its power, ideology, and practices. Employing Foucauldian, Foucauldian feminist, and Social Constructivist frameworks, I illuminate issues of reality construction, knowledge, and power related to the homebirth experience. Participants expressed distinctions between biomedical and midwifery models. They described complex processes whereby women’s bodies are transformed into docile bodies through disciplinary technologies, including control of ideology and panopticonic domination of time, space, and movements of the body.

  • Reversal Theory and Mother-Child Compatibility Reversal Theory and Mother-Child Compatibility
    Reversal Theory and Mother-Child Compatibility Reversal Theory and Mother-Child Compatibility bY Pauline Roberta O'Connor B.A. (Vic.), B.Sc. Hons (Vic.) in the Department of Psychology Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Tasmania January, 1992 I certify that this thesis contains no material that has been accepted for the award of any other higher degree or graduate diploma in any university, and that to the best of my knowledge and belief the thesis contains no copy or paraphrase of material previously published or written by another person, except where due reference is made in the text of the thesis. The advice I'd give is don't feel obligated to follow through if there is any trait in that kid's personality that seems totally incongruent with your own. Don't feel weird about taking them back and trying somebody else.... Adoptive parent in Grotevant, McRoy and Jenkins (1988) (iv) Abstract Apter (1982, 1989) and Apter and Smith (1979) reinterpret tnany problems of the family in terms of the theory of psychological reversals (Smith & Apter, 1975). Apter and Smith hypothesise that many family problems arise out of an incompatibility between family members due to telic/paratelic mode- opposition or conformist/negativist mode-opposition (i.e. two individuals occupying the opposite mode at the same time). One may adduce as further evidence for this suggestion a body of literature in Social Psychology suggesting that we like those who are similar to ourselves and dislike those who are dissimilar to ourselves.

  • Breastfeeding and Maternal Touch After Childhood Sexual Assault
    Breastfeeding and Maternal Touch after Childhood Sexual Assault Janice Yvonne Coles Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2006 Centre for Health and Society University of Melbourne Abstract Introduction: The study is a qualitative exploration of breastfeeding and maternal touch with new mothers who are survivors of childhood sexual assault (CSA) by a family member. Objectives: The objective of this study is to explore the experience of breastfeeding in mothers with a past history of CSA perpetrated by a family member. Methods: Using an interpretive framework, eleven women were interviewed with an in-depth semi-structured method and the transcripts coded and analysed by themes. All participants were new mothers who volunteered in response to a community based advertisement. Each woman self- identified as being sexually abused as a child by a family member. Results: Significant themes that emerged about breastfeeding were the importance of breastfeeding to the maternal-infant relationship and infant development. Other more challenging themes included detachment and dissociation, exposure and control, lack of pleasure, and splitting of the roles of the breasts into maternal or sexual objects. During the course of the study maternal-infant touch was raised as an important theme associated with body boundaries between the mother and her child and related to the mother’s past CSA experience. Baths and nappy changes were two areas in which some mothers encountered difficulties associated directly with their CSA. Some participants encountered difficulties associated with their healthcare. These were largely associated with the participants’ lack of control in the professional encounter and intimate examinations.

  • Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr
    ERNESTO CONTRERAS, SR.: A LIFETIME OF ACHIEVEMENTS AND NATURAL CANCER CURES AT OASIS OF HOPE CANCER HOSPITAL FROM HTTP://WWW.OASISOFHOPE.COM/DR_ERNESTO_CONTRERAS.HTML DR. ERNESTO CONTRERAS, SR. ( 1915-2003 Dr. Ernesto Contreras, Sr. passed away of natural causes on October 14, 2003 at the age of eighty-eight. He was blessed at the time surrounded by his wife, children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and the Oasis of Hoe doctors and staff who all faithfully continue in the Contreras mission to improve the physical, emotional and spiritual lives of people around the world. Recent research at the Imperial College of London has begun to identify how plant derived cyanide can destroy malignant cells without harming healthy cells. Though science may begin to discover what Dr. Contreras knew about his choice of medications, it will never be able to fully explain who Dr. Contreras was, what he stood for, what he accomplished and what he meant to other people. Ernesto Contreras was a man of discipline, love and integrity. In the 1910s, his family lost everything during the Mexican revolution and soon after, his mother became a widow with five children to support on a teacher's salary in Mexico City during the depression. Ernesto rose above all obstacles and graduated with honors from Military Medical School in the capitol. Soon he would marry his life-partner Rita Pulido and specialize in pediatric pathology at Boston 's Children's Hospital under the tutelage of Dr. Sydney Ferber. He would later accept a commission from the Army to be the first pathologist in the state of Baja California , Mexico .

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.
