A primeira é trabalho de campo etnográfico entre fluxos produtores de socialidade estabelecidos em grupos de ajuda mútua anônimos ligados às ideias de addicção/compulsão sexual e amorosa. A segunda frente etnográfica diz respeito à análise e reflexão da circulação de materiais de autoajuda, bem como da propagação e visibilidade de noções e aparatos produtores de morais afetivo-sexuais veiculados por diversas mídias de comunicação. Finalmente, a terceira frente reúne material sobre o surgimento de categorias médicas e noções patologizadoras contemporâneas, relacionadas ao amor e ao sexo, bem como por breve trabalho de campo etnográfico no Ambulatório Integrado dos Transtornos do Impulso (AMITI) do Instituto de Psiquiatria no Hospital das Clínicas em São Paulo. A análise do conjunto do material revelou que a socialidade produzida em grupos anônimos opera a partir de ideias e categorias específicas, nas quais noções de pertencimento e aquelas que produzem sentidos do sagrado são da maior importância. Além disso, o engajamento emocional nessa socialidade envolve a produção de teorias nativas da doença do vício em sexo e/ou amor, horizontes éticos afetivo-sexuais criados a partir de práticas pedagógicas no âmbito amoroso-sexual, e competências emocionais que produzem elementos de diferenciação social que abarcam dnâmicas e buscas de mobilidade social. Ainda, discuto a importância de agentes leigos na constituição de saberes médicos e especializados a respeito da adicção ao sexo e amor, com ênfase na constituição da oferta de determinados serviços na área da psiquiatria em São Paulo relativos ao tema / Abstract: The proposal of this research is to understand aspects of the production of moralities and sexual-affective notions in contemporary Brazil. With this in mind, the fieldwork consists of three ethnographic fronts, by which I seek to understand different relationships, flows, circulations and displacements of subjects, meanings and notions. The first is ethnographic fieldwork between sociality established in anonymous self-help groups linked to ideas of sexual and love addiction. The second ethnographic front concerns the analysis of self-help materials, as well as the propagation and visibility of notions and gadgets producers affective-sexual moral conveyed by various media of communication. Finally, the third front gathers material about the emergence of medical categories and pathologized notions, related to love and sex, as well as brief ethnographic fieldwork at the Clinic of Integrated Impulse Control Disorders (AMITI) of the Psychiatry's Institute at the Hospital of Clinicas in Sao Paulo. The analysis of the material revealed that sociality produced in the flows among the anonymous groups operating out of ideas and specific categories in which notions of belonging and those that produce the sacred meanings are relevant. Furthermore, the emotional engagement involves the production of native theories of disease about the sex and/ or love addiction. Moreover, it get involved ethical emotional-sexual horizons created practices competences within skills produce elements of differentiation social that include social mobility. Still, I discuss the importance of no-specialist elements of the production of knowledge in the establishment of medical and psi expertises about sex and love addiction, with an emphasis on the constitution provision of certain services in the field of psychiatry in Sao Paulo for the theme / Doutorado / Ciencias Sociais / Doutora em Ciências Sociais

A qualidade das interações está relacionada ao ajustamento emocional e comportamento de cada um na dinâmica familiar que pode contribuir para a percepção quanto as suas potencialidades e dificuldades. Recursos como a Tecnologia Assistiva (TA) favorecem a autonomia, a independência funcional e as interações sociais e familiares, facilitam o acesso à educação e ao trabalho, podendo ser aplicados em vários contextos melhorando a qualidade de vida do usuário. Esse estudo teve como objetivo conhecer as características dos familiares de pessoas com comprometimento motor grave e as suas expectativas em relação ao uso do sistema AUXILIS. A investigação de caráter qualitativo contou com amostra constituída por seis familiares previamente selecionados para participarem do Projeto AUXILIS do CTI/MCT, sendo quatro mães e duas avós maternas com idades entre 38 e 57 anos que realizavam a função de principal cuidador de seus filhos e netos com comprometimento motor grave e sem possibilidade de uso convencional do computador devido a limitações físicas. O registro das informações se deu em uma das instituições parceiras do Projeto AUXILIS por meio de entrevistas semidirigidas gravadas e transcritas. As informações foram agrupadas em quatro categorias temáticas e analisadas conforme a técnica de análise de conteúdo. As expectativas apresentadas em relação ao uso de tecnologia assistiva desenvolvida em tecnologia da informação se referem ao desejo de que o filho/neto desenvolva a comunicação e a autonomia, melhore a autoestima e adquira ou aprimore habilidades sociais e escolares. Insegurança quanto à capacidade dos filhos/netos no uso do recurso, a possibilidade deles se tornarem totalmente independente, a possibilidade de frustração dessas expectativas familiares, o sentimento de culpa e a busca por reparação também estavam presentes nos relatos / Abstract: The family has an important role socialization and fundamental to the formation of the first affective ties to the development of learning and the constitution of the subject preparing him for life. The quality of interactions is related to emotional adjustment and behavior of each one in the family dynamics that may contribute to the perception of its strengths and difficulties. Features such as the Assistive Technology (AT) favor the autonomy, functional independence and social and family interactions, facilitate access to education and work, can be applied in various contexts by improving the quality of life of the user. This study aimed to understand the characteristics of family members of people with severe motor impairment and their expectations regarding the use of the AUXILIS System. The research included a qualitative sample of six family members previously selected to participate in the AUXILIS Project, CTI/MCT, four mothers and two grandmothers aged 38 and 57 years who performed the role of primary caregiver for their children and grandchildren severe motor impairment with and without the possibility of using conventional computer due to physical limitations. The recording of information was in one of the partner institutions of the AUXILIS Project through semistructured interviews recorded and transcribed. The data were grouped into four thematic categories and analyzed according to the technique of content analysis. The expectations presented regarding the use of assistive technology developed in information technology refers to the desire that the child/grandchild develop communication and independence, improve self-esteem and acquire or enhance social skills and school. Uncertainty regarding the ability of children/grandchildren in resource use, the possibility of them becoming fully independent, the possibility of frustration these family expectations, feelings of guilt and the search for repair were also present in the reports / Mestrado / Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação / Mestra em Saúde, Interdisciplinaridade e Reabilitação

D.Ed. (Psychology of Education) / Daily media reports alert nations worldwide of the ever escalating aggressive acts of behaviour over many decades and has subsequently aroused deep concern as progressive growth In population becomes increasingly evident. Our future lies in the hands of our youth who are exposed to a wide range of educational, family, employment, political and health challenges that depart in major ways from those of young people one or two generations ago. The educational challenge is not limited to academia solely but more Importantly focuses on the upholding and envisioning of a values-based education that stirs the conscience of a nation encouraging moral, responsible law abiding citizens. This responsibility lies squarely on the shoulders of our female educators amongst others in a democratic educational system. Female educators outweigh males significantly in number in our educational system yet research reveals that some female educators are not given sufficient support, acknowledgement and recognition for their committed roles In education. Faced with overwhelming demands female educators are expected to fulfil multiple roles and yet maintain a healthy balance between work commitments and family responsibilities. Some cultures have the added expectation that women bear the prime responsibility for childcare and domestic work. As a result, notable gender differences in aggression arise primarily from contrasting gender roles which augments into the workplace. The overall purpose of the study is to develop and describe a psycho-educational programme to be used as a framework of reference to facilitate the healthy self-management of secondary school female educators' experience of their aggression. The implementation and evaluation of the programme will serve as a facilitative process through the promotion of personal growth and the mobilisation of female educators to constructively self-manage their experience of aggression. Attempts to meet this broad objective were accomplished by employing an explorative, descriptive and contextual research design. In this research study field notes were used in conjunction with eight in-depth phenomenological Interviews conducted with female educators. The findings of their experiences of aggression at their secondary school evolved around their associated emotions; the resultant measures of support and the coping strategies the female educators sought as a current means of addressing their mental health status as educators and community stakeholders. The data analysis of the findings revealed that female educators do have the potential to facilitate and mobilise the available resources in order to promote their own mental health and grow towards wholeness. The future scenarios that schools are likely to face are both challenging and daunting: can schools actively shape the future by listening to the heartbeat of its female educators or merely respond to its exigencies. The liberal awakenings and gradual movement from oppression to equality for the female In South Africa as well as Issues of aggression, political violence, single parenting and abuse on women further extrapolate the need to listen to the voices of women. An awareness of their plight as evidenced In this study will hopefully draw attention to their needs and bring offers of subsequent support to the mothers of our nation which will inadvertently Impact on our youth ... our future as a nation. A shared vision building process will thus only become a living force when each Individual truly believes s/he can shape her/his future. The ability of our educational system to compete in an Increasingly global economy depends on our ability to prepare both learners and educators for new or changing landscapes.

The diploma thesis is dealing with the issue of tinnitus which is defined as the perception of sound within the human ear in the absence of corresponding external sound. The thesis describes classification, etiology, symptomatology, diagnosis and therapy of tinnitus. The focus lies particularly in the description of various therapeutic approaches. Empirical part of the thesis presents the case studies of 12 respondents with tinnitus. Using qualitative research methods, the answers received from German respondents from Hesse region are compared to the answers of respondents living in the Czech Republic. The research focuses on the tinnitus diagnose, cooperation with experts, possibilities of therapy and their results, ways of funding, satisfaction of respondents with the therapy and contribution of self-help group for people with tinnitus.

This thesis examines the development of self-help as an ideology and as an organisational principle for poor relief and how it came to dominate discussions over poverty and crucially inform the Poor Law Amendment Act of 1834. The continuity of self-help with earlier discussions and reviews of the poor laws is explored and emphasised, as is the continuing moral core of poor relief despite historians’ frequent ascription of de-moralisation to the new political economy that came to heavily influence poor law discourse. The thesis analyses the evolution of the poor laws and of attitudes to poverty and begins with an examination of a divergence in the discourse relating to poverty between a more formal and centralised institutional approach and a more devolved, permissive institutional approach; the latter gained precedence due to its closer proximity to a dominant mode of thinking (as analysed by A. W. Coats) about the poor that held self-betterment as offering a solution to poverty most appropriate to the governance structures of the day. The greater role given to self-betterment and the natural affinity of more devolved schemes with a macroeconomic political economy framework pushed the evolution of poor law discourse along a route of emphasising individual probity and agency over the established model of community cohesion. Parallel to this divergence was the development of distinct intellectual traditions within poor law discourse between the older natural-law tradition of a natural right to subsistence and a new ideology of the natural law of markets and of competition for resources. By analysis of the thought of writers such as Thomas Robert Malthus, Jeremy Bentham, Patrick Colquhoun, David Davies, Frederick Morton Eden, Edmund Burke, etc., it is shown that this newer conception of natural law, encompassing a less interventionist and more macroeconomic approach (involving the deployment of statistics and abstraction, as explored by S. Sherman), proved more compatible with the devolved, more permissive institutional approach and so came to take precedence over that of the natural right to subsistence, which was associated more with traditional paternalism and community-level responses to scarcity and poverty. The natural law tradition spoke more to the abstract conceptions of poverty associated at this time with the greater deployment of statistics and tables in the analysis of social problems. It is demonstrated how writers of the period utilised utilitarian conceptions and nascent political economic arguments to portray the greater good of the country as a whole as possessed of greater moral and economic authority than more traditional ‘moral economy’ responses, and that vocabularies of virtue and duty were used to illustrate and justify such a shift. This set the scene for self-betterment as an economic strategy to evolve into an ideology of self-help which was developed as the panacea of poverty and the answer to the social dislocations caused by industrialisation. Self-help came to the fore as an approach that was more politically resonant in the era of revolutionary France and which enabled a more permissive institutional apparatus to be advanced. These institutions, such as allotments, savings banks and schools of industry, came to prominence in the period 1816-1820 and pertained more to macroeconomic understandings of poverty. They were expounded using a theme, that of ‘character’, that described poverty as the result of personal imprudence and hence as treatable, the most appropriate level for this treatment being that of the individual. The reforms of 1818-19 and the debates that informed them are given an extended analysis as they formed the crucial juncture in the cohering of self-help as an ideology and a paradigmatic shift in poor law policy towards greater discrimination underwritten by self-help. Finally, the 1834 Poor law Reform Act is explained in terms of the ideological development of arguments of self-help and character towards a more punitive and disciplinarian platform for enforcing self-help, with the cost-efficient and systematic institutional approach of Bentham adapted to the purpose.

Health, housing and much more recently, assistive technology, are key determinants of elderly independence in British Columbia. This thesis discusses these three determinants in some detail, and also stresses their interrelationship with each other. Throughout the entire thesis, the elderly's preference to age-in-place (Blackie, 1986; Wheeler, 1982) is stressed. In the issue of health, the current community-based health care delivery system of the British Columbia Ministry of Health's Continuing Care Division is compared and contrasted with a "counterpart" in the United States: the On Lok Health Services System in San Francisco, California. On Lok is discussed to highlight its effectiveness in delivering a community-based holistic health care system for a group of aging-in-place elderly in need of long term care with relatively low cost. In the issue of housing, the thesis investigates three avenues in which architects can apply their skills to maximize aging-in-place possibilities for our elderly in the context of British Columbia. Constraints by building codes, health care regulations, real estate market expectations and the aging characteristics of British Columbia's elderly are also highlighted to bring context to the discussion. In the issue of assistive technology, given the huge range of product development, the thesis focuses on one particularly interesting communication device - the Videophone. The Videophone is discussed to explore its potential impact for elderly independence, especially for the future. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Architecture and Landscape Architecture (SALA), School of / Graduate

The individualization and medicalization of the emotional distress of those given psychiatric diagnoses deny the social, political, and economic context in which the presenting behaviours arose and leads away from making changes to society. Some people who are psychiatrically labelled join in groups for solidarity in the face of being stigmatized. In these groups the members can resist the disempowerment and helplessness learned in the psychiatric system. With co-researchers from a self-help group this study gives expression to the usually silenced voices of psychiatrized people. Feminist and standpoint theories, co-cultural and living systems theories form a framework for this narrative study. A structural narrative method is used to analyze the stories, found in the transcripts of six individual interviews, told by the co-researchers about their experiences in psychiatric services and in the recovery process. The stories reveal how the ideology and practices of psychiatry use stigma, oppression and the creation of the identity of psychiatric patient for control and management. The stories also reveal the reality of hope for recovery through the support of peers and from the role models of those who have significantly recovered their mental health. Two focus group interviews were conducted with members of the self-help group where suggestions for programs were developed to address issues raised within the groups and in the individual interviews. The findings of the research will be reported to the self-help group who will use the study to back proposals for the funding of recovery-oriented programs. When social workers and other mental health professsionals recognize the importance of supporting the process of recovery, consumer/survivor-run programs will be acknowledged as effective and integral parts of any mental health system / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate

This study investigated the efficacy of bibiliotherapy in a correctional setting. Bibliotherapy (the utilization of books, pamphlets, or other literature) has been recommended as an adjunct to psychotherapy when professional time was at a premium or when the motivational level of the clientele was marginal. The experimental problem of this present study was to assess the usefulness of bibliotherapy in coping with psychological problems found within the correctional setting. This investigation was designed to explore the effects of two self-help packets on two diverse prison populations.
