Printed on acid-free paper Springer is part of Springer Science+Business Media (www.springer.com) Preface The subject of this book is the psychosocial development of gravid women, both primigravid and multigravid women. Seven personality dimensions, or develop- mental challenges, are discussed and intended to serve as a guide for understanding and assessing the gravidas’ adaptation to pregnancy and expectant parenthood. The book is an outgrowth of research projects 1 that investigated the relationship of maternal psychosocial adaptation in pregnancy to maternal anxiety and labor prog- ress during childbirth, to prenatal and parturition obstetric complications, to newborn birthweight, and to maternal and infant postpartum adaptation. Verbatim statements made by the women who participated in the study are used throughout the text to provide examples of good and poor adaptation for each dimension. The excerpts from prenatal interviews illustrate specific conflicts and fears, as well as methods used to cope with them, which are also indicative of levels of adaptation. The chapters have been expanded to incorporate recent literature and research results in the analysis and interpretation of interview statements, with examples of good, moderate, and low maternal adaptation for each dimension. The items on interview schedules and on a subsequently developed question- naire were specifically designed to assess the universal aspects of each personality dimension. Questionnaire scales to assess the prenatal dimensions have consis- tently produced reliable and valid results over time in different cultures, socioeco- nomic classes, and family constellations. Furthermore, there has been limited advancement in the development of theory or alternative theories to explicate maternal psychosocial development or adapta- tion during pregnancy. For these reasons, the original theoretical model and the results obtained with interview and questionnaire assessment remain current and significant to date, and are utilized in this third edition. Research results over the past 30 years support the validity and significance of the personality dimensions. These results and an overview of each dimension are 1 The research projects were supported by grant awards from: (1) the Division of Nursing, Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Service Administration, U.S. Public Health Service, (2) the American Nurses’ Foundation, (3) the Committee on Research, The University of Texas Medical Branch, (4) the Research Advisory Council of the UTMB School of Nursing, and (5) the Triservice Nursing Research Program. v vi Preface presented in the Introduction (Chapter 1). The focus of Chapter 1 is twofold: (1) to present the research foundations for the psychophysiological correlates of prenatal psychosocial adaptation and the seven prenatal personality dimensions with progress in labor and birth outcomes, and particularly (2) to present the theory underlying the seven dimensions of prenatal psychosocial adaptation, which are further analyzed in the following seven chapters. Chapters 2–8 present a content analysis of the interview responses to the seven significant prenatal personality dimensions that are predictive of pregnancy adapta- tion, progress in labor, birth outcomes, and postpartum maternal psychosocial adaptation, and they include: (1) Acceptance of Pregnancy, (2) Identification with a Motherhood Role, (3) Relationship with Mother, (4) Relationship with Husband, (5) Preparation for Labor, (6) (Prenatal) Fear of Pain, Helplessness, and Loss of Control in Labor, and (7) (Prenatal) Fear of Loss of Self-Esteem in Labor. There is no other comparable comprehensive, in-depth, prenatal personality research or empirical and content analysis of pregnancy-specific dimensions of maternal psychosocial adaptation to pregnancy. Chapter 9 provides the findings and discussion of a longitudinal military research project that followed 421 wives of military service members and active duty women through each trimester of pregnancy and delivery. The chapter presents the impact of family flexibility and emotional-esteem building support from a com- munity network on prenatal maternal psychosocial adaptation. The impact of mili- tary deployment on maternal adaptation is briefly discussed. Lastly, 113 women from the original 421 were followed through 6 months postpartum. The capability of the Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire to predict 6-month maternal postpar- tum satisfaction and confidence with being a mother is presented. Chapter 10 provides a discussion of the particular developmental and adaptive characteristics of multigravid women pregnant with their second or subsequent child, in contrast to the developmental and adaptive characteristics of primigravi- das, women pregnant for the first time. This chapter is a summary of findings from a longitudinal prenatal research project with multigravid women that replicated and extended the initial research project with primigravidas presented in Chapter 1, and of a subsequent large, longitudinal research project with both primigravidas and multigravidas focusing on the quantitative questionnaire assessment of psychoso- cial adaptation in all the three trimesters of pregnancy. Both quantitative and quali- tative results are presented. The presentation of the qualitative content analysis in Chapter 10 was written with the assistance of Fran Holmes. Chapter 11 presents methods that can be used by professional health care per- sonnel to assess the status of gravid women on each of the personality dimensions. A questionnaire developed to serve as a parallel measure of the interview measures of the seven personality dimensions, the Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire, also is discussed in Chapter 11, and reliability and validity data of results obtained in research projects are presented. Chapter 1 focuses on early and continued research findings supporting the theory and significance of maternal adaptation to pregnancy, while Chapter 11 focuses on a presentation of psychometric data sup- porting the questionnaire assessment of maternal prenatal psychosocial adaptation Preface vii with the Prenatal Self-Evaluation Questionnaire; the difference in the foci of Chapter 1 and Chapter 11 is not entirely precise and may be considered as a fine line rather than a sharp distinction. A section in Chapter 11 also provides recom- mendations for the clinical and academic researcher. The method utilized in the original research study of psychophysiological cor- relates of progress in labor (in primigravidas) was a descriptive analysis based on interview responses recounted to the researcher during meetings with the women who participated in the project. The instruments used in the research project, the interview schedules, and the detailed rating scales for the assessment of personality dimensions are in Appendices A and B. The authors suggest that the readers first peruse the interview questions and the rating scales to become acquainted with the scope of inquiry and the method of assessment that underlies the content analysis of the personality dimensions presented in Chapters 2–8. The analysis of each personality dimension and the identification of subfactors provide a theoretical framework for each developmental construct. Within this framework, it is possible to distinguish adaptive and maladaptive behavior, the manifestations of behavior, and progress in development. Thus, the text provides a model for continued study and guidance in assessment and evaluation, which can be incorporated into clinical practice and research investigations. The book also provides more than a descriptive narrative of pregnancy adaptation. It includes results and discussion of stress and anxiety in labor, progress in labor, and postpartum maternal and newborn health status. The results of the correlational analysis of the pregnancy, labor, and postpartal data in Chapters 1 and 11 support the significance of each personality dimension, and demonstrate a measure of validity for the interview schedules and the rating scale instrument,

  • The Humour of Homer
    The Humour of Homer Samuel Butler A lecture delivered at the Working Men's College, Great Ormond Street 30th January, 1892 The first of the two great poems commonly ascribed to Homer is called the Iliad|a title which we may be sure was not given it by the author. It professes to treat of a quarrel between Agamemnon and Achilles that broke out while the Greeks were besieging the city of Troy, and it does, indeed, deal largely with the consequences of this quarrel; whether, however, the ostensible subject did not conceal another that was nearer the poet's heart| I mean the last days, death, and burial of Hector|is a point that I cannot determine. Nor yet can I determine how much of the Iliadas we now have it is by Homer, and how much by a later writer or writers. This is a very vexed question, but I myself believe the Iliadto be entirely by a single poet. The second poem commonly ascribed to the same author is called the Odyssey. It deals with the adventures of Ulysses during his ten years of wandering after Troy had fallen. These two works have of late years been believed to be by different authors. The Iliadis now generally held to be the older work by some one or two hundred years. The leading ideas of the Iliadare love, war, and plunder, though this last is less insisted on than the other two. The key-note is struck with a woman's charms, and a quarrel among men for their possession.

  • Mary Anne Radmacher
    May your walls know joy, may every room hold laughter, and every window open to great possibility. -- Mary Anne Radmacher (From Lauri’s front yard) The older I get the faster the year goes. Where did this year go? Oh, yes, it’s been a unique and crazy one! Who would have thought we would be living through a pandemic? I was thinking about the word “JOY.” Each year we put up huge sign in our front yard that spells out the word JOY. It twinkles with lights and is one of my favorite decorations to put up every year. I will admit it has been harder for me to find JOY over the last few months. I know many who are or have been sick with COVID-19 and two in our circle have lost their life to COVID over the last month. What is Joy? The definition of JOY according by the Webster Dictionary: 1a: the emotion evoked by well-being, success, or good fortune or by the prospect of possessing what one desires: DELIGHT b: the expression or exhibition of such emotion: GAIETY 2: a state of happiness or felicity: BLISS 3: a source or cause of delight Robert Holden, Ph.D., with The Happiness Project, recognizes these “5 Qualities of Joyful People.” “Do You Recognize These Qualities in Yourself?” 1. JOY IS CONSTANT When people tune in to the feeling of joy, what often emerges is an awareness that this joy is somehow always with us. Joy is quietly, invisibly ever-present. It is not “out there,” and it is not “in here”; rather, it is simply everywhere we are.

  • Prenatal Attachment: a Developmental Model Helen Mck
    Int. J. Prenatal and Perinatal Psychology and Medicine Vol. 20 (2008) No. 1/2, pp. 20–28 Prenatal Attachment: A Developmental Model Helen McK. Doan and Anona Zimerman Abstract: The attachment relationship between a pregnant woman and her developing fetus has been demonstrated to be of importance because of the potential link between prenatal attachment and parental behaviour both before and after birth (Condon & Corkindale, 1997; Pollock & Percy, 1999). While there is consistent evidence of individual differences in the level of attachment (Doan & Zimerman, 2002), there is still a need to clarify the factors that may help to explain this variation in scores. Over the past few years, our research has examined a number of cognitive, emotional and situational factors that relate to the level of prenatal attachment (Doan & Zimerman, 2003, 2006). While we have examined the effects of many factors on prenatal attachment, the two variables that most consistently related to the level of prenatal attachment are empathy and the cognitive ability to mentally represent the fetus. Against the backdrop of current research literature, we will propose an integrative framework that takes into account the linkages between empathy and cognition as a means for enlarging our understanding of the complexities of prenatal attachment. Zusammenfassung: Die Bindungsbeziehung zwischen einer Schwangeren und ihrem sich entwickelnden Kind hat sich wegen des moglichen¨ Bezuges zur vorgeburtlichen Bindungs- beziehung und elterlichem Verhalten vor und nach der Geburt als bedeutsam erwiesen (Condon & Corkindale, 1997; Pollock & Percy, 1999). W¨ahrend es eine verl¨assliche Evi- denz fur¨ individuelle Unterschiede in der Bindungsbeziehung gibt, ist es noch notwendig die Faktoren zu kl¨aren, die diese Unterschiede erkl¨aren konnen.¨ In den vergangenen Jahren hat unsere Forschung eine Anzahl von kognitiven, emotionalen und situativen Faktoren uberpr¨ uft,¨ die einen Bezug zum Grad der vorgeburtlichen Bindung haben (Doan & Zimer- man, 2003, 2006).

  • BBO Orientation Packet
    ACADEMY OF CANINE BEHAVIOR Basic Behavior and Obedience Class Orientation: FOCUS: Conditioning Markers. 1. Your dog will never take responsibility for getting trained. You must take the responsibility for educating your dog. This means that you must also take the responsibility of learning to communicate with your dog. Without communication there can be no education. 2. In the canine world there are no such things as equals; you will either lead or follow. A dog’s reasoning ability is similar to that of a two-year old child. A two-year old child does not make an effective leader; you must be the leader. 3. Every time you interact with your dog, they are learning something. If you are not teaching them the right behavior, they are learning the wrong behavior. 4. Negative attention is still attention. If the only way your dog can get your attention is be being bad, you will train them to act bad for attention. Remember to always reward your dog for good behavior. Pay attention when they are doing something right and let them know you like that behavior. 5. The consistency of your dog’s behavior, good or bad, will mirror the consistency of your training. If you train your dog by repeating the command ten times, you can expect the dog to respond 10% of the time. 6. A dog’s concept of right and wrong are very different from ours. Do not expect the dog to know what you may think is right or wrong. 7. If you are correcting the dog, are you certain the dog understand why it is being corrected? Have you educated and then generalized the concept? 8.
