Current Trends And Issues In Emergency Medical Care, Gabriel Hilkovitz

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

In the last 20 years, we have witnessed the growing importance of emergency rooms in community health care, particularly in large metropolitan areas. Almost imperceptibly at first, and then with incredible momentum, public demand for urgent and emergency medical services expanded with population growth and disappearance, maldistribution or unavailability of family physicians.

Variations On The Theme Of Depression, Ann Stewart

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Freud in 1917 published his classic paper on mourning and melancholia describing the essential features of melancholia (depression) as "profoundly painful dejection, cessation of interest in the outside world, loss of the capacity to love, inhibition of all activity and a lowering of the self-regarding feelings to a degree that culminate in a delusional expectation of punishment." Much has developed in the knowledge of depression since 1917, but even more has become known about the development of personality and its various stages as well as the psychic structures involved.

Special Characteristics Of Adopted Children And Adoptive Parents As Seen In A Psychiatric Practice, Lillian C. Lindemann, Virginia A. Saunders

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

We have presented these characteristics of 22 adopted children and 20 sets of adoptive parents viewed as special by a team of child psychiatrists and a psychiatric social worker in a private setting. Material derived from psychological test protocols was included in the study. No attempt has been made to statistically validate the findings and the presentation has been descriptive. The reality of an abandonment experience would appear to be a major element in the anxiety experienced by the adopted child. This source of anxiety is the one element that distinguishes the emotionally disturbed adopted child from the emotionally disturbed …

The Development Of A Comprehensive Health Care Program For Patients With Active Tuberculosis, Grace G. Eddison, Barbara M. Farmer

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Concepts basic to effective medical care evolved from the development of a comprehensive health service program for patients with tuberculosis. The key to success was found in a basic philosophy underlying all interpersonal relationships-the conviction that all men are equal. This philosophy then became the motivating force behind the creation of a functioning multidisciplinary team in which there was developed a freedom of relationships between each team member, and between team members and patients. The effectiveness of this approach in comprehensive medical care was illustrated by examples of special services and programming which were designed to reach all levels of …

Severe School Phobia, Douglas F. Powers, Hugh Mcmahan, Carol Mcnally Owens

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

This presentation has emphasized that the under-lying conflict in school phobias begins as bilateral separation anxiety between mother and young child. This unhealthy symbiotic relationship, occurring during the time that the child is trying to develop his own autonomy, cripples his ability to cope with the separation anxiety when he goes to school, or in the face of certain life events such as a move, illness, or birth of a sibling which revive this early anxiety. The response is a disturbed pattern of school attendance which may range from mild to severe and acute to chronic. These basic conflicts represent …

Psycho-Social Aspects Of Drug Abuse By Modern Youth, James L. Mathis

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

Research in human behavior rarely lends itself to the scientific rigors which allow for definitive cause and effect answers even if they exist. Perhaps no facet of human life has a simple origin, and certainly that is true of behavior which involves all levels of personality function and social interaction such as occurs in drug abuse. Drug abuse undoubtedly is overdetermined behavior with multiple etiological factors in a constantly fluxuating interaction. Most observers agree that drug abuse by the youth has become a major problem, but differences arise when the sociological and psychological factors of etiology are discussed. The many …

Drug Abuse In Our Community, George M. Bright

MCV/Q, Medical College of Virginia Quarterly

What is new about people taking drugs: Nothing! Our society is a drug-oriented society. We have been both using drugs and, at times, abusing them for years. Furthermore, drug abuse has been written about for hundreds of years. What is alarming today, however, is the number of youth who are joining the drug scene from our junior high, high schools and colleges throughout the country. Fortunately, many of these will be involved only temporarily. Others will develop physical and psychological problems as a consequence of their involvement. Our responsibility is not limited to the small percentage that have short or …

The Effects Of Alcohol On Three Levels Of Complex Human Behavior, Grady Vancil Maraman

Theses and Dissertations

That alcohol affects human behavior has been known for centuries. However, how and why it affects behavior has not been precisely established despite extensive research and study. The inconsistent action of alcohol at different doses on different tissue systems and on different response systems has been well documented (Kalant 1 referenced in 39). The exact sites of action of alcohol in the central nervous system and the relative influence of each of these sites in cognitive and motor behavior are not known. The primary purpose of this experiment was to study the effects of blood alcohol concentrations below 0.100 percent …

The Measurement Of The Instructor Variable In The Instructional Process By A Rank Order, Forced Choice Procedure Along Five Basic Dimensions, Martha Louise Green

Theses and Dissertations

In the present study, a rating of professors as a variable in the learning process through a dimension rank order technique was made by 316 undergraduate students. An instructor evaluation instrument was used. This instrument was administered to students who were asked to rank order their professors on five basic dimensions of instruction.

The rank ordering demonstrated meaning in standard scores among instructors by a paired comparison transformation, and since parameters (a complete department) were used, absolute values were obtained. There was clear evidence to indicate that students could reliably and significantly discriminate between instructors on five basic dimensions of …
