Brain, behavior, connections and implications: Psychodynamics no more

Interpersonal Rejection Sensitivity: Toward Exploration of a Construct

“…For example, most psychiatric nursing textbooks have expanded the content on neuroanatomy, genetics, psychopharmacology, and other psychobiologic topics. As asserted by Mohr and Mohr (2001), human responses are distinct physiological patterns that are expressed behaviorally as opposed to being obscure ungrounded psychological phenomena. However, the cogency of this premise does not negate the need for a focus on how individuals experience, explain, and react to interpersonal and other eventsregardless of the language used to describe these occurrences.…”

Putting it all together: dealing with complexity in the understanding of the human condition

“…In a recent paper, Mohr & Mohr (2001) inform us that there is a need to understand how psychotherapeutic intervention impact on the anatomy and physiology of the brain, in order to provide a concrete rationale for the use and development of specific psychotherapeutic techniques. The authors suggest that specific techniques could be focused more precisely on clients’ symptoms in the same way that ‘designer drugs’ are focused on certain neurotransmitters.…”

“…The authors suggest that specific techniques could be focused more precisely on clients’ symptoms in the same way that ‘designer drugs’ are focused on certain neurotransmitters. The central theme of Mohr & Mohr's (2001) paper is that the major conceptual approach to mental health in the 21st century will be molecular biology: including notions of neuroplasty; the effect of life events on the brain and behaviour; and the interaction of genes and the environment. However, social researchers such as Arber & Cooper (2000) argue that the role of gender and societal events (violence, poverty, discrimination) are major determinants of health and contribute to the creation of mental disorder and disruption (we shall return to all of these perspectives at a later point).…”

A Familiar Matter: Violence Towards Nurses: Review

“…Zedelenme-saldırganlık teorisine göre şid-det, önemli beklentilerin yerine gelmemesi sonucu oluşan bir zedelenmeye yanıttır ki; hastanelerde karşımıza çıkan şiddet davranışını açıklamakta-dır. [6][7][8] Şiddet Tanımlama Komitesi [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 1997] tarafından üç çeşit şiddet tanımlanmıştır. Bunlar fiziksel şiddet, psikolojik şiddet ve evsel şiddettir.…”

“…[5][6][7][8][9][10][11] Sağlık bakım kurumlarında şiddet riskini arttıran değişik faktörler bulunmaktadır. Bunlar; 24 saat hizmet verilmesi, stresli aile üyelerinin varlığı, hastaların uzun süre beklemesi ve bakım hizmetlerinden yeterince yararlanılmaması gibi durumlardır.…”
