The Manic Pixie Dream Girls in John Green’s Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns / Manic Pixie Dream Girls i John Greens Looking for Alaska och Paper TownsDunder, Emma January 2017 (has links)
In this study, the function of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope in John Green’s young adult novels Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns is researched using feminist criticism and postfeminist theory. My claim is that The Manic Pixie Dream Girls in Looking for Alaska and Paper Towns perpetuate stereotypical gender roles and thereby help maintain a glorified image of the muse. I support this claim by researching how Alaska and Margo fit into the Manic Pixie Dream Girl trope and, as such, how they perpetuate stereotypical gender roles. Furthermore, this study shows how the MPDG is connected to the traditional archetype of the muse.

The Structure of Mental Health in Haiti: A Latent Class Analysis of Common Mental Disorders, Severe Mental Disorders, Neurological Conditions, Clinical Symptoms, and Functional ImpairmentPortnoff, Larissa January 2021 (has links)
The experience of mental disorders while part of humanity, reveal inequities that are inhumane due to a lack of quality clinical service provisions globally. In Haiti, a formalized mental healthcare infrastructure developed after the 2010 earthquake where emerging dissemination and implementation studies demonstrated the potential for treatment utilization within recently established primary care. Partners in Health (PIH) and Zanmi Lasante (ZL) the frontline healthcare team have coordinated with the Haitian Ministry of Health to lead this initiative. A community-based mental healthcare system has proven to be sustainable through a task-sharing model, which delivers mental healthcare for common mental disorders (CMDs), severe mental disorders (SMDs), and neurological conditions (NCs)–with specific care pathways for major depression, psychotic disorders, and epilepsy. The extent to which patient mental healthcare are evaluated in lower-middle income countries (LMICs) like Haiti, however, have been limited. The primary aim of this study was to therefore evaluate patterns of mental disorders and to assess current patient care priorities in Haiti.
The present study, builds upon previous literature by examining the continuum of mental disorders. A latent class analysis provides a data-driven approach to examine features of mental disorders to inform clinical treatment and best practices. EHR data from PIH and ZL were obtained from patients (N=914) who met criterion for a primary diagnosis and had completed mental health evaluations that were assessed at 13 sites in Haiti from 2016-2018. Known characteristics of mental disorders include the patient’s primary diagnosis, mood symptoms such as depression and suicidality, and the level of functional impairment. Accordingly, each were included as an LCA model indicator. Post-hoc multinomial logistic regression (MLR) models predicted mental health class selection and correlates based on the descriptive and clinical symptom variables. Results suggested there are six distinct mental health subgroups, that were distinguished by functional impairment: class 1a “common mental disorders– none to low functional impairment” (11.5%), class 2a “severe mental disorders–none to low functional impairment” (4.9%), class 3a “neurological conditions–none to low functional impairment” (11.1%), class 4b “common mental disorders–high functional impairment” (38.62%), class 5b “severe mental disorders–high functional impairment” (13.02%), and class 6b “neurological conditions–high functional impairment” (20.9%).
MLR model 1 revealed CMDs were 2–3 times more likely female and received psychosocial interventions more often, and by comparison SMDs and NCs typically received psychiatric medication. MLR model 2 included patient’s clinical symptoms, that suggested severe CMDs with high functional impairment were somewhat more likely depressed when compared to other LCA subgroups. Although, in all likelihood this finding was probably attributed to CMDs including mild to severe forms of major depression, whereas SMDs were mostly psychotic disorder and bipolar disorder. Taken together, the most frequent primary diagnosis included: 1) major depressive disorder (60.3%) and generalized anxiety disorder (27.2%) for CMDs, 2) psychotic spectrum disorders (47.6%) and bipolar disorder (23.7%) for SMDs, and 3) epilepsy (88.8%) for NCs. Patients were infrequently diagnosed with co-occurring psychological disorders. The varied mental health disorder subgroups that participated in psychotherapy and psychiatric medication management, demonstrate such mental health treatments for Haitian’s are feasible and acceptable. While the present analysis was exploratory, LCA provides potential tools for treatment specification and best practices.
The WHODAS, a measure of functional impairment, may be useful as a screening tool for triage, and primary outcome to determine patient improvement. Mental healthcare pathways based on results should expand to include women’s mental health and bipolar disorder. These findings are generalizable due to the data being from a community sample and directly from EHRs with inclusion criterion that was not limited by diagnostic specification, symptom severity, or co–occurring disorders. Overall, there is a vast need for mental health services that are broadly accessible for CMDs, SMDs, and NCs. This study highlights, specific clinical training and supervision needs, and the necessity for increased nursing, psychiatry, and neurology collaboration in Haiti. There is hope that healthcare expansion will strengthen and continue to empower communities in Haiti.

Facets of Positive Affect and Risk for Bipolar Disorder: Role of the Behavioral Activation SystemDornbach-Bender, Allison 12 1900 (has links)
Bipolar disorder is characterized by disruptions in mood and affect that occur not only during mood episodes, but during euthymic periods as well. At the same time, sensitivity of the behavioral activation system (BAS) has been implicated in the disorder and is a risk marker for it. Less clear is the relationship between BAS sensitivity and positive affect, particularly lower level facets of positive affect. The aim of the present study was to examine the relationship between positive affect and vulnerability for mania as assessed using BAS sensitivity. Specifically, the link between daily levels and fluctuations of positive affect and baseline BAS sensitivity was examined. Following the hierarchical model of affect, this study also assessed the relationship between BAS sensitivity and the distinct facets of positive affect. Finally, this study examined whether BAS sensitivity moderates associations between daily rewards and positive affect. Undergraduates (N = 265) from a large university in the South were recruited to complete measures of BAS sensitivity, affect, and mood symptoms at baseline. Using ecological momentary assessment (EMA), participants completed daily surveys assessing affect and engagement with rewarding situations. An exploratory factory analysis revealed a four factor structure of positive affect, consisting of Serenity, Joviality, Attentiveness, and Self-Assurance. Greater daily levels of overall positive affect, as well as the lower order facets of Joviality, Self-Assurance, and Attentiveness, were predicted by heightened BAS sensitivity. In contrast, the facet of Serenity demonstrated minimal associations with BAS sensitivity. The study findings support a multi-faceted structure of positive affect and suggest that certain facets may be more closely related to risk for bipolar disorder. Specifically, Joviality and Self-Assurance may represent maladaptive forms of positive affect, whereas Serenity may function as a protective element against bipolar disorder.

The Manic Pixie Dream Girl : En karaktärsanalys av det kvinnliga kärleksintresset i romantisk komedi utifrån ett genusperspektiv.Blomberg, Anna January 2014 (has links)
Denna uppsats hanterar hur kvinnliga karaktärer porträtteras i romantisk komedi genom att närmare studera begreppet ”Manic Pixie Dream Girl”. Detta begrepp leder till missförstånd om kvinnans roll i filmens värld och skapar diskussioner om jämställdhet och västerländsk berättarkultur. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka två kvinnor i två olika romantiska komedier uppfyller de kriterier som nämns av Manic Pixie Dream Girl-begreppets myntare, Nathan Rabin, har lagt fram och om det således är motiverat att argumentera att karaktärerna upprätthåller sexistiska synsätt. Den teoretiska grund som uppsatsen bygger på kommer främst från feministisk teori, men även från Laura Mulveys teori om skopofili och den manliga blicken. För att analysera det utvalda materialet används en skräddarsydd karaktärsanalytisk metod. Resultatet visar att, trots att de kvinnliga karaktärerna må uppfylla några eller flera av de kriterier som Rabin ställer fram så innebär inte det direkt att karaktärerna är endimensionella och, i förlängning, overkliga porträtt av kvinnor i allmänhet. / This essay deals with how female characters are portrayed in romantic comedies by studying the "Manic Pixie Dream Girl"-phenomenon closer. This concept leads to misunderstandings about women's roles in the world of cinema and creates discussions about equality and Western storytelling. The purpose of this essay is to study two women in two different romantic comedies and study if they meet the criteria Nathan Rabin, the man who coined the term “Manic Pixie Dream Girl”, has announced to be qualities of a Manic Pixie Dream Girl and whether it is justified to argue that the female characters maintain sexist ideals. The theoretical basis on which the essay is based primarily comes from feminist theory, but also from Laura Mulvey’s theory of scopophilia and “the male gaze”. To analyze the selected material I have chosen to use a customized method of character analysis. The results show that, despite the fact that the female characters may meet some or more of the criteria Rabin have announced, the material does not directly imply that the characters are one-dimensional and, in extension, improbable and unreal portraits of women in general.
