  • 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.

  • 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.

A lot of people resist digging into their past and bringing up all the marriage problems. Handbook of clinical family therapy. Be the first to write a review. School book. A practical attempt by the "Milan Group" to establish therapeutic techniques based on Gregory Bateson 's cybernetics that disrupts unseen systemic patterns of control and games between family members by challenging erroneous family beliefs and reworking the family's linguistic assumptions. Redirect behavior by anticipating triggers and realigning beliefs and fears. He developed an object relations approach to intergenerational and family-of-origin therapy. Using this method, families can be helped by finding patterns of behaviour, what the causes are, and what can be done to better their situation. It is informative, for people with no prior knowledge about the subject. Concurrently and somewhat independently, there emerged the various intergenerational therapies of Murray Bowen , Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy , James Framo , and Norman Paul, which present different theories about the intergenerational transmission of health and dysfunction , but which all deal usually with at least three generations of a family in person or conceptually , either directly in therapy sessions, or via "homework" , "journeys home" , etc. Josie Montanez-tyler added it Jul 16, Since then, she has researched various types of ambiguous loss, summarizing her work in the widely acclaimed book, Ambiguous Loss: Learning to Live with Unresolved Grief Harvard University Press, In marriage and family therapy, the unit of treatment isn't just the person - even if only a single person is interviewed - it is the set of relationships in which the person is embedded.

Using the existential-phenomenology of Maurice Merleau-Ponty, I argue that if we want to disclose the basic struc- ture of depressed experience, then we must likewise disclose how self- experience is inseparable from depressed experience. However, even though depression is a contemporary psychiatric category of illness, it is neverthe- less a historically and heterogenous concept. To make sense of depression in the context of contemporary psychiatric practice, I show that depression has historically been characterized by two broad models of causation; that is, a phenomenon that is causally explained by either a biological dysfunction or a psychological conflict. But this stark characterization is not limited just to history; by conducting qualitative interviews with psychiatric professionals, I illustrate how this causal dicho- tomy remains prevalent in contemporary psychiatric practice.
