Faden, Allie. “Abandoned Children and Surrogate Parental Figures.” Plaza: Dialogues in Language and Literature 5.2 (Summer 2015): 1-5
Faden, Allie. “Abandoned Children and Surrogate Parental Figures.” Plaza: Dialogues in Language and Literature 5.2 (Summer 2015): 1-5. PDF. Allie Faden Abandoned Children and Surrogate Parental Figures Abandonment, a common fear of children, has roots in literature due to a lengthy history of child abandonment in situations where parents feel the child would be better served away from its home. In our own culture, we see the literary roots of this motif as early as in Biblical writings, such as the story of Moses, continuing into the literature of today. In many instances children are abandoned not because they are unwanted, but out of parental hope that a life away from the natural parents will provide a “better” life for the child(ren). Societies have dealt with this concern in a multitude of ways over time, spanning from Church approval for poor parents to “donate” their child(ren) to the Church up to our modern system of criminalizing such actions (Burnstein 213-221, “Child Abandonment Law & Legal Definition”). During Puritan days, children were fostered out to other homes when a woman remarried after the death of her husband, and were often removed from the home if the parents failed to ensure access to education for the children (Mintz and Kellogg 4-17). Likewise, Scandinavian youths were frequently fostered to other families, either due to a lack of living children within a family, or to cement social bonds between people of varying social status (Short). In the British Isles, surrogate parentage was routine, involving child hostages, fostering to other families to cement social bonds, to deal with illegitimate births, or to encourage increased opportunities for children born to poor families (Slitt, Rossini, Nicholls and Mackey). -

To her friends and family, she appears to to “have it all together.” However, in the last three months, Mandy has been more reluctant to go to places she describes as “open”— in particular, to the mall. Two months ago when she was at the mall, Mandy felt her legs go numb and tingle. She felt different and scared for no real reason; however, it went away after a few minutes. The next week when at the mall again, Mandy felt as if she were having a heart attack: her heart began to pound uncontrollably and she began shaking and gasping for breath. Her friend called 911; Mandy was examined by the emergency medical personnel who later determined that nothing was wrong with her heart. Mandy felt foolish and embarrassed. As a result, she has become very reluctant to go out with friends and now frequently stays at home. She has made an appointment to go see her primary care doctor because she is sure that something is wrong with her heart. -

Enhancing Youth-Elder Collaboration in Governance in Africa
Discussion Paper ENHANCING YOUTH-ELDER COLLABORATION IN GOVERNANCE IN AFRICA The Mandela Institute for Development Studies Youth Dialogue 7-8 August 2015 Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe Authored and presented by Ms. Ify Ogo PhD Candidate, Maastricht University MINDS Annual African Youth Dialogue 2015 Discussion Paper ABSTRACT Youth constitute the majority of the population on the African continent. This paper explores the convergence of traditional (African Tradition) and modern ways of social engagement in political governance interactions. It discusses the imperative for youth participation in governance, as well as the challenges and opportunities for dialogue between youth and elders in governance systems. In the first chapter, the paper discusses cultural norms which have prevented the development of collaboration between youth and elders, as well as the consequences of constricted relationships, for example the entrenchment of elders as leaders. The chapter concludes with proffering strategies for reform, including a redefined understanding of governance, performance based evaluation criteria for leaders and the strengthening of institutions. Through case studies, the second chapter of this paper outlines key issues the youth face in collaborating with elders in governance. The case studies present youth who have attempted to drive development agenda within government, as well as those who have successfully influenced political decision making and action. This chapter highlights some of the strategies the youth who have successfully influenced elders in political decision making have employed, in order to gain influence and collaborate with the elders. 2 MINDS Annual African Youth Dialogue 2015 Discussion Paper CONTENTS Abstract 2 Chapter One 4 1.1.

Dental fear in children may be an important issue that needs attention. Therefore, the aim was to investigate the role of dental fear in predicting untreated dental caries in schoolchildren. This analytical cross-sectional study included children aged 8–10 years residing in Saudi Arabia. Dental status via oral examinations was surveyed with the WHO standardized chart and the Children Fear Survey Schedule—Dental Subscale was used to score dental fear. Descriptive, binary, and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to report the findings at 5% statistical significance. Overall, there were 798 schoolchildren with an average fear score of 36. Nearly 70.4% reported fear of someone examining their mouth. About 76.9% had at least one carious tooth in their oral cavity. -

Delusions of Parasitosis; an Irrational Fear of Insects Explained
FACT SHEET DELUSORY PARASITOSIS. THE BELIEF OF BEING LIVED ON BY ARTHROPODS OR OTHER ORGANISMS. Guide for Health Departments, Medical Communities, and Pest Management Professionals Dr. Gale E. Ridge Department of Entomology The Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station Introduction Delusory parasitosis, an unshakable belief or syndrome (Hopkinson 1970) of being attacked by insects, is a very difficult and under-diagnosed condition. It often starts with an actual event or medical condition (the trigger) that may progress over time into mental illness. For those who have had the problem over long time periods, the condition can sometimes consume a person’s life. Although patients may repeatedly seek help from experts, they may refuse to abandon their ideas for test results which contradict their invested beliefs (Sneddon 1983). Sufferers can become antagonistic and relentless in their need to find someone who will confirm their self-diagnoses (Murray and Ash 2004). Those with the obsession, often search the internet, finding web-sites that support their fears. Often under the falsehood of medical authority, some of these sites provide misguided advice and inaccurate information. Poorly informed misdiagnoses by medical professionals may also contribute to the problem. This is a very complex and difficult condition to manage, requiring dedication and time by trained professionals or an interdisciplinary team of experts. Naming the syndrome Because delusory parasitosis (DP) is medically amorphous, several medical specialists have been involved, e.g., psychiatrists, physicians, dermatologists, and medical entomologists. All have tried to define the condition. The term delusions of parasitosis was coined by Wilson and Miller (1946) dispelling earlier use of the words acarophobia (Thibierge 1894), entomophobia, and parasitophobia. -

NOT FOR SALE OR DISTRIBUTION Nature and Extent of Delinquency 1 ection 1 introduces you to the problem of defining and measuring juvenile delinquency. Experts have struggled Sfor more than 100 years to define delinquency, yet it re- mains a complex problem that makes measurement even more difficult. CHAPTER 1 Chapter 1 reports on the status of children in American so- ciety. It also reviews past and present definitions of delinquency Defining Delinquency and defines legal definitions of delinquency that regulated the behavior of children in the American colonies, legal reforms inspired by the child-saving movement at the end of the nine- CHAPTER 2 teenth century, status offenses, and more recent changes in state and federal laws. Measuring Delinquency Chapter 2 examines the extent and nature of delinquency in an attempt to understand how much delinquency there is. Determining the amount and kind of delinquency acts that juve- niles commit, the characteristics of these acts, the neighborhoods these children live in, the kinds of social networks available, and the styles of lives they lead is vital to understanding where the problem of juvenile crime exists in U.S. society. Such knowl- edge also helps us to understand the problem more completely. Is delinquency only a problem of lower-class males who live in the inner city? Or does it also include females, middle-class children who attend quality schools, troubled children from good families, and “nice” children experimenting with drugs, alcohol, and sex? 64340_ch01_5376.indd 1 7/27/09 3:36:40 PM © Jones and Bartlett Publishers, LLC. -
Fear of Flying As a Psychological Symptom

My work context ¾ Provide treatment for those seeking help to overcome their fear of flying. ¾ Offer consultation to airlines who refer crew for assessment and treatment of fear of flying. DSM-IV TR 1. Fear of flying is not a specific disorder. 2. It is generally (though not always) regarded as a specific phobia "characterised by clinically significant anxiety provided by exposure to a specific feared object or situation, often leading to avoidance behaviour" (p.429) Other Phobias (a) Simple phobias (snakes, buttons, dentists, flying) (b) Social phobias: avoid social situations because they are afraid of embarrassing themselves (public speaking, public toilets etc.) (c) Agoraphobia: fear of being in public places in unfamiliar settings (public transport, theatres etc.) Note: It is possible that an individual can present with more than one type of phobia. Co-factors (e.g. mood) may trigger or maintain the phobia. Simple phobias are easier to treat than social phobias, which in turn are easier to treat than agoraphobia. Fear of Flying as a Social Construct A fear of flying is a social construct and is dependent on context and available information. 1919 "aeroneurosis" 1939-1945 "moral fibre" and "right stuff" 1970s mass transportation 9/11 "rational" fear Post 9/11 "irrational" fear Fear of Flying as a Symptom Fear of flying is a term used to describe a more specific primary fear: ¾ heights ¾ separation ¾ enclosure ¾ sensations, sounds ¾ the unknown ¾ death ¾ control and these differ between people.
