The Impact Of World War Ii On Women's Fashion In The United States And Britain, Meghann Mason

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

World War II (hereafter referred to as WWII) is a fascinating era in fashion, society, and politics. The fashion of the era was truly representative of the events happening in the world in a most visible way. This era made indelible marks on future designers and the science of fashion as the world knows it. Fashion and costume design were influenced and changed due to the many limitations presented and imposed by WWII. WWII represents a great marker of change socially, technologically, economically, and politically. While it affected the entire world, the main focus of this thesis will explore the …

Army Transformation: What Does It Mean?, David Jerome

Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The way in which senior U.S. Army leaders such as the chiefs of staff define transformative change is important, especially if the meaning of that term is to be interpreted as originally intended by Army field grade officers. An Army chief of staff is responsible for creating a vision and establishing goals for the future, and field grade officers are responsible for pursuing that vision and those goals by implementing objectives that endeavor to arrive at the desired ends. By using both qualitative and quantitative methods, this research analyzes what each of the three chiefs of staff, who have served …

Multiple Personality And Channeling, Rayna L. Rogers, D.O.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Psychiatry in the 1980's and 1990's has seen a rapid progression in the understanding of dissociative disorders, especially multiple personality disorder. Another phenomenon which has had a parallel rise in the past decade is trance channeling. Channeling is the process by which an individual enters a trance-like state and surrenders control of the body to a "guide" or "entity" who communicates with the listeners or "sitters" gathered for a "reading." The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between these two phenomena, specifically questioning whether channeling is a variant of multiple personality disorder or if it is pathological.

The Real Mother-Issues In Adoption, Penelope J. Hooks, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Our society has deemed adoption a desirable alternative method of creating a family. It satisifies the need of a child for parents, it gratifies the desire of adults who yearn to provide a home and love for a child, and it gracefully solves the dilemma for the one who cannot or will not raise the child. In addition to the usual developmental conflicts, families involved in adoption will encounter a variety of fears, fantasies, resentments, and misconceptions which may adversely affect identity formation in the child. Here I will attempt to explore some of the psychodynamic issues which will be …

A Sexually And Physically Abused Child: His Inner World, Carmen Mayugba-Sugai, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This paper describes how a sexually abused 8 year old boy's internal dynamics correlated with and influenced his behavior while he was on an inpatient unit. Through play therapy and unit staff's observation, the psychopathological sequelae to the abuse unfolded in a very interesting way. This process of correlating play material with observations of behavior on the unit, helped the treatment team in understanding the child's inner world.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Children are legally entitled to be present throughout the commitment hearing for continued hospitalization. The effect of this process on the therapeutic alliance between the child and the psychiatrist warrants examination. A case study of a 14 year-old boy who participated in the court proceedings is presented. The outcome of the hearing resulted in a disruption of the therapeutic alliance. Alter natives to current commitment procedures for minors are discussed.

Partnership Between University Clnical Skills/Simulation Center And Nursing Staff Development-New Products, Mary Bent Mangano, Msn, Rn, Cns, John J. Duffy, Rn, Msn, Ccrn, Cnrn

Department of Nursing papers and presentations

There is a growing evidence in the nursing literature about the effectiveness of clinical simulation as a powerful teaching/learning strategy. This wealth of research attributes simulation's effectiveness to its design that creates an environment where "students become active learners, abandoning memorization for accessing knowledge, and thinking and applying learning in context rather than providing answers to fact-based test" (Jeffries, 2007). A simulation suite provides a "safe, supportive environment that allows students to learn a variety of complex skills in a stress-free environment" (Ghiglieri, Ruiz, & Vasudevan, 2007). Creating this environment requires meticulous planning to details. The learner must have a …

Telephone Associated Pathology: Clinical Case Studies And Discussion, Mark Servis, M.D.

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

The advancement of modern technology shapes and develops new expressions of psychopathology and accompanying treatments. This is most apparent with the telephone, an instrument of contact and communication for the patient, and assessment and intervention for the therapist. The telephone both constrains and creates unique constellations of patient symptomatology. This paper will examine one such telephone symptom complex-the habitual over use of the telephone by non-bipolar patients. The frequent monopolization of the phone seen in some bipolar patients will not be considered, though the elements of intrusion and aggression discussed in this paper are probably shared by manic patients.

The In-Hospital Suicide: A Psychological Autopsy Of A System Involving Borderline Dynamics, Kathleen A. Hughes, Md, Al Santos, Md

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

This manuscript reviews principles of hospital management in the care of severe borderline patients with concomitant affective syndromes. The case presented highlights a process of experiential learning in a novice clinician (a beginning psychiatric resident) and illustrates several critical areas of concern with these patients. The following four facets of clinical management are discussed: 1) Failed attempts to understand borderline dynamics and subsequent countertransference reactions; 2) Staff resistance to consistent, honest and open acknowledgement of suicide potential; 3) Special risks when borderline dynamics are combined with affective syndromes; and 4) Possible suicide preventive measures and their relative effectiveness.

Working With The Homeless: The Psychiatric Resident's Experience, Ronald J. Koshes, Md, Lance D. Clawson, Md

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

HOMELESSNESS IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

The latter years of the twentieth century have witnessed a phenomenon unparalleled since the depression of the 1930's. Legions of homeless, disadvantaged, often mentally ill poor have emerged thronging cities, crowding public places and presenting perplexing complex, social, political, economic, and medical/psychiatric service delivery issues ( I ). Counting the homeless, and among them the mentally ill homeless, is a task fraught with difficulty, as some studies have illustrated (2 ,3). Estimates of mental illness among the nation's homeless range from 10% to 70% (4). In the District of Columbia, there are an estimated six to …

Brief Remarks On Some Linguistic Features Of "Empathy" And "Sympathy", Emanuel E. Garcia, Md

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

The use of words by an individual or culture is subject to the very same psychological forces that drive man's other activities . Hence, the history of a word's usage becomes a telling record of the mental processes of its creators and users, both conscious and unconscious. Etymology, as Freud has observed in his dreambook (1900), contributes significantly to our understanding of the deeper layers of the psyche . Let us take the word "rival," for example, and see how we may make use of etymological data. It is derived from the Latin "riva lis," I which originally meant "one …

Countertransference And Inpatient Psychiatry: Theoretical And Clinical Aspects, Edward Kim, Md

Jefferson Journal of Psychiatry

Few aspects of psychiatric training are more troubling to beginning residents than the emerging awareness of their own countertransferences. This is often viewed with a mixture of disgust and embarassment as a sign of incompetence and lack of professionalism. Conflicting views on the origins of, and appropriate responses to countertransference further add to the difficulty and anxiety of psychiatric training. The frustration and sense of helplessness which often accompany these feelings can lead to disillusionment and various degrees of acting out which ultimately compromise patient care and resident education. Ironically, the feeling of being overwhelmed by countertransference can often occur …

A Comparison Of The Primary And Secondary Wood Products Sectors In Louisiana, Richard P. Vlosky

Faculty Publications

As part of an ongoing research program, the Louisiana forest products industry is surveyed every five years to identify salient issues, challenges, and opportunities. In this paper, we compare the results from two studies conducted on the primary and secondary sectors in Louisiana. In the past, we produced two papers based on research results, one for the primary and one for the secondary sector. However, this paper compares the answers to questions asked in both surveys. Louisiana's forests represent an important resource for the state, both in terms of income to landowners and as inputs to the forest products industry. …
