Hypnosis in the treatmemt of chronic pain : an ecosystemic approachCosser, Catherine Phyllis 01 January 2002 (has links)
In this study, the use of hypnosis in the treatment of chronic low back pain is
described in terms of Ecosystemic thinking, as opposed to traditional
conceptualisations of hypnosis. Six case studies were used. Each is
described in detail, as well as the therapeutic rationale behind each case, in
order to present the reader with an understanding of the thinking behind using
Ecosystemic hypnotherapy. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

An analysis of collaborative efforts towards violence prevention in urban secondary schoolsEmslie, Annemarie 11 May 2010 (has links)
The purpose of the current study was two-fold. Firstly, to explore and describe how school staff members, learners and parents collaborate to prevent violence at two urban secondary schools and secondly, to help school staff members, parents and policymakers to gain a better understanding of the complex and multi-faceted problem of addressing school violence, which should result in guiding them to adopt effective strategies to prevent violence. The ecosystemic perspective, which is an integration of ecological and systems theories combined with the typology of violence, was the theoretical lens through which the phenomenon of adolescent learner violence was viewed. The study was rooted in the sociological interpretative research paradigm and a qualitative descriptive and exploratory case study design was employed. Multi-method data collection strategies (individual, dyad, triad and group interviews; document reviews) were employed to obtain trustworthy data from the three population units of analysis (school staff members, learners and parents) at the two selected urban secondary school sites situated in Johannesburg, South Africa. The inductive qualitative content analysis of the framework approach was used to give a transparent account of the data analysis process. Constant comparative analysis was employed to discover the emergent themes. The main research findings were interpreted by relating the results to the research purpose, the socio-ecological theoretical framework and the existing knowledge base on collaborative strategies for violence prevention. The findings of the current study suggest that family-school collaboration in violence prevention is especially important for families with adolescent children. Adolescence is characterised by many physical and psychological changes and development. Adolescents strive to find their independence and establish their own identities. However, this experimentation may lead to risk-taking or antisocial behaviour. Contrary to current belief, the findings of the current study suggest that adolescent learners want their parents to be involved in their lives and that parents want to support their children’s education but may lack the know-how. The learners explicitly expressed their need for the support and guidance of both their parents and also the school staff members in withstanding the peer and societal pressures that can result in their acting in aggressive or violent ways at school. To promote the positive development of all young people, the school staff members and most centrally young people and their families, must actively work together to establish positive and effective family-school collaborative partnerships as part of their violence prevention strategies.

A contextual approach to post-shooting trauma in the South African Police ServicesNel, Juan Adriaan 10 1900 (has links)
In this article post-shooting trauma is utilized as an
arbitrary punctuation to indicate how police officers
communicate their distress during this period of rapid
transition in South Africa. It is argued that the medical
model (with its attendant lineal causal explanations and
descriptions) is inhibitively limited in describing what
police officers are presently experiencing. The author
motivates the advantages of perceiving and describing events
from an ecosystemic perspective (which provides a contextual
understanding and emphasizes relationships} . "Stress" is
described as an aspect of the system as a whole and not
singularly attributable to individuals alone. Among others
new policing rules and roles, the turnover in personnel, and
the rate of's'ocio-political changes are shown to contribute.
It is argued that the Police, as society's guardians of
"power" have become the "symptom bearers" for a society in
the painful process of adapting to change. Recommendations
regarding possible interventions are made. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)

Basisteorie vir familiepastoraatVan Heerden, Leon Johan 11 1900 (has links)
Met die oog daarop om 'n basisteorie vir familiepastoraat te ontwerp, word verskeie basisteoretiese konsepte geidentifiseer en bespreek. Dit is veral die relasionele definiering van families - eerder as die tradisionele biologiese definiering - wat van fundamentele belang vir basisteoretiese besinning is. Hierdie 'ekologiese' verstaan van families, sluit familiesisteme van alle vorms in en hou rekening met huidige sosiologiese realiteite sowel as bepaalde teologiese perspektiewe. In aansluiting by die relasionele definiering van families, het familiepastoraat 'n verhoudingsfokus en werk dit met 'n
multidimensionele perspektief wat op al die dinamiese verhoudingsprosesse en -fases binne familiesisteme gerig is. In verbondenheid met die gemeente, benader familiepastoraat families as ekologiese geloofsisteme en funksioneer dit in die lig van die
evangelie asook doelbewus binne koninkrykskonteks. In die slothoofstuk word al die sentrale basisteoretiese konsepte geintegreer tot 'n teoretiese geheel. Die basisteorie vir
familiepastoraat, wat hier ontwerp word, kan kemagtig soos volg geformuleer word: Familiepastoraat is gesprekmatige verhoudingsorg van die ekologiese familie en dit geskied binne koninkrykskonteks. / For the purpose of developing a basic theory for family pastoral work, several basic theoretical concepts are identified and discussed. The defining of families in terms of relations - rather than the traditional biological defining - is of fundamental importance for basic theoretical reflection. This 'ecological' understanding of families includes
families of all shapes and forms, whilst it also reflects sociological realities and it takes into account certain theological perspectives. The aim of family pastoral work is synchronised with the relational defining of families and focus, therefore, on the multiple dynamic relational processes and phases within family systems. For this manifold
relational focus, family pastoral work operates with a multidimensional perspective. The basic theory developed for family pastoral work, can be formulated as follows: Family pastoral work is dialogical care of the relationships of ecological families and it operates within context of the Kingdom. / Practical Theology / M.Th.

Transformation of a service organisation through participatory action researchHarrison, Elaine Sonet 11 1900 (has links)
The research aimed to pro-activeiy embark in an internal transformation process, in order to
improve efficiency of the Social Work Department of Gauteng Medical Command of the
South African Military Health Service.
Participatory action research as a qualitative research design was- used. The intervention
identification process was implemented as a problem-solving technique to direct the process
of transformation-change.
The research was conducted by a research group often social workers from the South
African National Defence Force. The results of the research were the implementation of
interventions on identified systems, namely the service delivery system and the performance
management system of the Social Work Department of Gauteng Medical Command.
The use of particpatorv action research as a process to address problems in an organisation was confirmed. The contribution of the participatory action process to process outcomes,
such as empowerment and learning, was also indicated in the findings. / Social Work / MA(SS) (Mental Health)
