The Impact Of Traumatic Symptoms On Intimacy Among Sexually Abused Women, Mediated By Shame, Stacy L. Hamilton

Theses and Dissertations

Traumatic symptoms are common for survivors of childhood sexual abuse (CSA), and such symptoms are often compounded by the presence of shame. While much is known regarding the negative impact of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) on CSA survivors, less is known regarding the relationship between PTSD and shame and little to no research has investigated the impact of PTSD on intimacy mediated by shame for CSA survivors. The current study sought to fill this gap in the literature by exploring this phenomenon. Data was randomly collected from households in the following cities: Chicago, IL; New York City, NY; Salt Lake …

Eighteen normal-weight and 17 obese women completed an exercise and non-exercise day, each performed on the same day of the week. Exercise was performed on a motor-driven treadmill at 3.8 mph and 0% grade for 45 continuous minutes. To test for food motivation, participants were shown a continuous stream of pictures of food and flowers (control) while neural …

Psychiatric Interventions With Burned Children, Ravi Bhalla, M.D., Diane Kaufman, M.D., Diane Schrier, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This paper reviews the literature and identifies etiologic and management factors in the care of the burned child. It was provoked by direct involvement with two sisters, seriously burned under similar circumstances, each at age two. Their suffering is shared by approximately 500,000 children each year. Despite the enormity of the problem, psychological evaluation and treatment interventions are still not routinely incorporated into the care of these children and their caregivers. The authors hope to encourage psychiatrists and other mental health professionals to become more involved in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical investigation of the burned child.

The Syndrome Of Antidiuretic Hormone Secretion In Psychiatric Patients, Kathleen Crapanzano, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone (SIADH) is a common medical illness which has many etiologies-some of which are particular to psychiatric patients. This review will discuss the diagnosis of SIADH and then the various etiologies for its development with emphasis on those which are more relevant to psychiatric patients. Future research will be directed to a further understanding of this disorder, as well as to treatment options to decrease the significant morbidity associated with this condition.

Delusional Misidentification Syndromes, Zeljko Jocic, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Delusional misidentification syndromes are reviewed by their phenomenology, epidemiology, clinical characteristics, associated clinical findings, etiological theories, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment. Related neuropsychiatric syndromes are described and distinctions between them and delusional misidentification syndromes addressed. Current psychological and biologic-cognitive theories are briefly discussed. These peculiar phenomena are probably more frequent than previously thought, if they are specifically sought and recognized. Organic factors play a definitive role in their occurrence and two brain regions frontal and temporal, are presumably dysfunctional.

The Management Of Performance Anxiety With Beta-Adrenergic Blocking Agents, James A. Bourgeois, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Performance anxiety consists of several symptoms experienced in the context of public performance and is classified in DSM-III-R under social phobia. Performance anxiety must be distinguished from panic disorder, generalized social phobia, and generalized anxiety disorder. Performance anxiety symptoms can be detrimental to both performer and performance. These symptoms can be controlled by the judicious use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents. The use of beta-adrenergic blocking agents should be considered as part of a psychiatric stress-management program for these patients.

Psychiatry And Cardiac Transplantation, Mark Graham, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This paper explores the role of psychiatry in the field of cardiac transplantation by way of a literature review. The various stages of cardiac transplantation are discussed with respect to their time frame within the transplantation process, the cognitive and emotional reactions of patients within a given stage, and the dynamics of staff, patient, and family interactions. Research and clinical experience in the field suggest psychiatric assessment, follow-up, and, when necessary, intervention are valuable and important in promoting successful psychological adjustment as patients face their adaptive tasks in the various stages of the transplantation process.

Structural Pluralism And The Community Context: How And When Does The Environment Matter?, Leo Wayne Jeffres, Edward Horowitz, Cheryl Campanella Bracken, Guowei Jian, Kimberly Neuendorf, Sukki Yoon

Communication Faculty Publications

Several long-standing theories intersect in discussing the impact of community characteristics and of the mass media. The structural pluralism model popularized by Tichenor and his colleagues says that social structure influences how mass media operate in communities because they respond to how power is distributed in the social system, whereas the linear model says that the increasing size of a community's population leads to more social differentiation and diversity and corresponding increases in subcultures with their own beliefs, customs, and behaviors. Recently, there has been a concern about how changes in society have led to a decline in organizational activity …

Faith, Spirituality, And Sustainability, C. William Pollard

C. William Pollard Papers

This speech was delivered at the University of Arkansas's Tyson Center for Faith and Spirituality in the Workplace (Fayetteville, AR). In it Pollard considers the 2008 financial crisis, which he believes requires business leaders to adopt new models of leadership and new ways of educating future managers. Such measures will ensure that corporate firms will always consider profit alongside the more significant goal of forming moral character.
