Up where the dog barks (creation). Sitting around the table of a secret municipal council, a mayor and his aldermen, outraged by the village idiot's stupidity, are planning his death. On a beautiful spring's morning, they kidnap him and throw him in a isolated well, whose opening they carefully seal afterwards. Three days later, however, screams are heard from the bottom of the idiot's pit. Contaminated within their own cadastre by the innocent's cries, the villagers, one after another, will have to tell their story: their rural madness, hidden within their common unawareness. Then, without knowing it, it is with the dispossessed's eloquence that they will be caught inside short narratives with no beginning or end---many frames in movement---that will constitute a sole account since all determined by the same disturbing rumour. / The rhetoric of the idiot (criticism). In the shadow of the madman, literary character extremely fascinating lately, the idiot silently cradles himself. Many times portrayed in the works of various authors, its problem seems to differ from the "illuminated"'s. Often aphasic or having a poor vocabulary, the idiot is, in most cases, only described. However, some authors have been able to give him a voice, usually in a strongly poetic prose. Among these writers, William Faulkner ( The Sound and the Fury), Anne Hebert (Les fous de Bassan) and Suzanne Jacob (Laura Laur) distinguish themselves by letting the characters such as the idiot or the simple minded assume control, to a certain extent, of the narration in their fiction. Indeed, it will be the tools of the new rhetoric (rhetoric reconciled of the figures and the argumentation) as apprehended by Michel Meyer in his several works that will be used for the analysis of the three narrations. It will then be possible to investigate the necessary assimilation of the sense and the argumentation within what could be called a project common to the three authors.

There is a 5--8% excess of winter-births among schizophrenia patients. This could be due to prenatal exposures to seasonally varying factors. Although winter-born and non-winter-born patients tend to differ in various aspects of the illness, associations between season of birth and premorbid adjustment (PMA) are unclear. Objectives. The main purpose of this study was to determine whether winter-born and non-winter-born schizophrenia patients differ in terms of PMA and to examine how family history may influence the association. A second objective was to determine which of the proposed underlying seasonal factor, and during which trimester of gestation, explains the most variance in PMA. Method. Data on four PMA dimensions (attention, internalising, externalising, and social) and family history were collected for 37 patients. Subject's prenatal exposure to sunshine, temperature, and influenza for each trimester of gestation was calculated. Results . Non-winter-birth and a positive family history of schizophrenia-spectrum disorders were associated with worse PMA. Prenatal exposure to both sunshine and temperatures during the first and third trimesters of gestation explained variance in particular PMA dimensions. Results suggest different mechanisms by which season of birth and family history interact in explaining distinct dimensions of PMA.

<p> The purpose of this project was to write a grant proposal seeking funding for a community-based mental health-educational outreach program targeting African Americans in Los Angeles County, California. This population underutilizes mental health intervention services despite their high risk of developing mental health abnormities. The California Endowment was chosen as a potential funder due to its commitment to improving the health of Californians; the host agency Alma Family Services, shares in the commitment to early prevention and intervention. The program will provide resource information to reduce barriers to treatment and to increase awareness. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of this project.</p>

<p> The purpose of this study was to see if factors such as age, gender, and diagnoses have an effect on one's ability to recover from the symptoms of his or her mental illness. Data was collected from one of five FSP teams at MHA Village. Within the team selected, members with all necessary data were included. The research analyzed the responses of 55 MHA Village members. </p><p> The results of this study show that MORS scores do not differ by gender, Axis I diagnosis, having an Axis II diagnosis, income source, race, primary pay source, referral source, age, length of enrollment, or family income. There was, however, a positive correlation between family income and length of enrollment. Future research is needed to gain an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the diverse factors associated with mental health recovery, as well as how to more accurately measure mental health recovery in the first place.</p>

<p> Having an infant admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) can be stressful and overwhelming for parents and families. Parents have developed anxiety and depression disorders, as a result of their experience from having their infant in the NICU. The stress and anxiety can also affect the parent-child attachment, as well as putting the infant/child at risk of abuse and neglect. A licensed clinical social worker will facilitate a support group using the strength based perspective to empower individuals and families. The support group goals are: to reduce the amount of stress that parents and/or caregivers encounter, as a result of their infant being in the NICU, to empower parents and/or caregivers to advocate for their infant who has been in the NICU, and to increase the parents and/or caregivers' ability to appropriately respond to the infant's needs. In selecting, Health Trust, as a funder, it values enhancing the well-being of individual and families in Santa Clara County. An actual submission to the funder was not a requirement of this project.</p>

<p> The purpose of this policy analysis was to analyze the Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) of 2004 using research articles and state and governmental documents. The analysis explored the expansion of mental health services and the challenges of implementation. The programs that were developed to meet the specific needs of the MHSA included early intervention, prevention, curriculum development, education, training, and community services. A thorough examination of the act provided an understanding of how the funds are distributed and how the MHSA will continue to support specialized mental health program services. The information presented in this policy analysis focused on children and youth and in detailing the services they received through the MHSA.</p>

<p> Transnational parents encounter mental health problems and emotional difficulties when they separate from their children to migrate to the United States. The purpose of this project was to locate a funding source and write a grant to develop a program for transnational parents at Maternal and Child Health Access, in Los Angeles, California. The goal of this program was to decrease depressive symptomology and other mental health problems among Latino transnational parents; as well as to address parent-child separation stressors. The proposed program was designed to be culturally competent to meet the needs of Latino immigrant parents through three support groups that utilize supportive, educational, and cognitive behavior therapy components. The Langeloth Foundation was identified as a potential funder for this proposed program. The actual submission and/or funding of this grant was not a requirement for the successful completion of the project.</p>
