How We Debrief: An Interpretive Description Of Social Service Community Workers' Experiences, Andrea C. Krywucky
How We Debrief: An Interpretive Description Of Social Service Community Workers' Experiences, Andrea C. Krywucky
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
The aim of this research was to understand current practices of debriefing being used or not used in community social service organizations and the presumed frameworks or evidence justifying these practices in London, Ontario.

Social service agencies are overwhelmed with caseloads, creating an increase in need of care for frontline workers, as they are the first point of contact for many. This research utilized an interpretive description methodology to explore workers’ experiences and …

In Search Of Psychiatric Kinds: Natural Kinds And Natural Classification In Psychiatry, Nicholas Slothouber
In Search Of Psychiatric Kinds: Natural Kinds And Natural Classification In Psychiatry, Nicholas Slothouber
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In recent years both philosophers and scientists have asked whether or not our current kinds of mental disorder—e.g., schizophrenia, depression, bipolar disorder—are natural kinds; and, moreover, whether or not the search for natural kinds of mental disorder is a realistic desideratum for psychiatry. In this dissertation I clarify the sense in which a kind can be said to be “natural” or “real” and argue that, despite a few notable exceptions, kinds of mental disorder cannot be considered natural kinds. Furthermore, I contend that psychopathological phenomena do not cluster together into kinds in the way that paradigmatic natural kinds (e.g., chemical …
Searching For Wisdom: A Phenomenological Investigation Of Women's Perspectives Following Participation In An Ovarian Cancer Supportive Care Group, Helen Butlin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This study used a novel methodology of hermeneutic-poetic-phenomenology to explore perspectives of women living with ovarian cancer. Each had participated in a supportive care group process Soul-Medicine prior to volunteering. Three women, Beth, Carrie, and Denise contributed to this study. The methodology was grounded in Gaston Bachelard’s philosophy of poetic-phenomenology. Data was analyzed with attention to image-centred knowledge; material imagination; reverie; and horizons of hope to elucidate their implicated aspects of wisdom and the ways participant’s formed their personal wisdom integrating feminist theories of embodiment and bioethics.
Findings are framed through three images of a uniquely formed inner ‘wisdom-compass’, an …

La Temporalidad De Lo Breve, Vanina Noejovich
La Temporalidad De Lo Breve, Vanina Noejovich
Modern Languages and Literatures Annual Graduate Conference
El artículo se acerca a la caracterización de lo breve a partir de dos temporalidades diversas: lo breve definido desde su duración como elemento de una cadena de acontecimientos y lo breve como irrupción en dicha cadena de contecimientos, que permite pensar otra temporalidad, la de las repercusiones de lo breve. Para definir la temporalidad de las repercusiones de lo breve, el artículo se apoya en la teoría psicoanalítica de Jacques Lacan, particularmente en la definición de la interpretación psi-coanalítica como acto analítco. Para contraponer las repercusiones de lo breve con el tiempo de duración el artículo refle-xiona acerca de …
