Greetings from Alabama
Christopher Sawula; Nancy B. DuPree; Wade Hall
UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA PRESS
2016
nidottu
Although he was a native of Bullock County, Alabama, Wade Hall—teacher, writer, poet, critic, interviewer, folklorist, and documentarian—spent most of his fifty-year career in Kentucky. But he was never emotionally far from his home as evidenced by his passion for collecting vintage Alabama postcards. In his lifetime he amassed 10,000, which he then graciously gave to the University of Alabama Libraries and Troy University in a large joint bequest that also included rare books, quilts, folk art, letters, and more.These postcards date from the late 1800s to the mid-20th century and offer a fascinating and diverse picture of the state. The meaning of postcards that could be purchased as a travel souvenir is largely forgotten today when cameras are commonplace. But the value of Hall's stunning collection cannot be missed. The some 400 cards featured in Greetings from Alabama are revealing of scenes familiar and rare. From Birmingham's Vulcan to Mobile's Bellingrath Gardens, from Enterprise's boll weevil monument to Huntsville's rockets, from Helen Keller's home to William Rufus King's resting place, the scenes offer captivating glimpses of Alabama history.
Reinventing Depression
Christopher M. Callahan; German E. Berrios
Oxford University Press Inc
2004
sidottu
To inform future research, treatment, and policy decisions, this book traces the scientific and social developments that shaped the current treatment model for depression in primary care over the past half century. While new strategies for diagnosing and treating depression have improved millions of people's lives, there is little evidence that the overall societal burden of depression has decreased. Most experts point to a gap between what psychiatrists know and what primary care doctors do to explain untreated depression. Callahan and Berrios argue, however, that the problem stems mainly from lack of a public health perspective, that prevailing etiologic models underestimate the roles of society and culture in causing depression and over-emphasize biological factors. The current conceptual model for depression is a scientific and social invention of the last quarter century. Such models are important because they shape how society views people with emotional symptoms, defines who is sick, and determines who should get care. Most parents who seek treatment for depression receive antidepressant medications in primary care. The authors show that although depressed patients' help-seeking behaviour and primary care doctors' clinical approach have changed little over the past half century, the field of primary care medicine has changed dramatically. They describe how the specific diagnoses and treatments developed by psychiatrists in the past 50 years have often collided with the non-specific approaches that dominate primary care practice. In examining the research seeking to close the gap between psychiatry and primary care, Callahan and Berrios offer public health models to explain the ongoing societal burden of depression. By exploring the history of depression in primary care, they open a pathway for improvements in the care of people with depression, where primary care physicians should play a greater leadership role in the future.
Is there an epidemic of depression sweeping the world, or are we radically altering our interpretation of normal human experiences? Do we need a dose of medication or a renewed sense of meaning? In this second edition of Beyond Depression, Christopher Dowrick - an academic general practitioner - takes a critical insider's look at commonly held views about the diagnosis and management of depression. He argues that our belief in depression as a medical condition is based on commercial, professional, organisational and cultural factors which combine to sustain the popularity of depression as a concept, which is based more on our values than on science. Based on the best contemporary evidence available, this second edition includes new research findings on the management of mild and recurrent depression, the possibility of a genetic basis to depression, and extended arguments on the limitations of screening, and the placebo effects of antidepressant medication. The author considers alternative ways of understanding the thoughts and feelings that we currently describe as depression, drawing on cross-cultural, religious, political and literary sources. He proposes a conceptual framework that provides a means of moving beyond depression as a medical concept and as a personal problem. When applied to encounters between doctors and patients in primary care it leads us towards enabling narratives, with an emphasis on listening and understanding rather than diagnosis and prescription. Beyond Depression combines a comprehensive analysis of current scientific evidence with an impressive review of linguistic, literary and philosophical perspectives. Moving seamlessly between controlled trials and Camus, from prescribing to Proust, the book is informed throughout by a series of sensitive case studies drawn from the author's personal experience.
Christopher Palmer cannot identify the moment depression first consumed his life. As a young man, Chris learned to transform his persona to adapt to any situation and attempted to fit in with his peers. But he soon came to realize that a consistent depressive state was his safe place. In a raw and candid memoir, Chris details his struggle with depression and how it manifested throughout his life while touching on how his complex feelings, especially frustration and anger, led to his depressive episodes as well as an attempted suicide. As he leads others through his roller coaster journey through an often misunderstood disease, Chris discloses how his deep desire for a better life prompted his quest to understand the cause of his depression and learn ways to overcome it. When he opened himself up to new ways of thinking, Chris made real changes in his life to conquer his debilitating depression and eventually find true happiness. From Depressive to Impressive shares one man's journey out of depression through a newfound understanding of mind, body, and spirit and, most importantly, the meaning of life.

Gesellschaftliche Dynamiken depressiver Erkrankungen bei älteren Menschen
Christopher Etter
Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden
2024
nidottu
Depressivität ist nicht bloß ein individuelles Thema, sondern zeichnet sich, wie auch andere Formen psychischer Leiden, durch einen nicht vernachlässigbaren Grad an sozialer Variabilität aus. Forschung zu den sozialen Determinanten psychischer Gesundheit weist folglich insbesondere darauf hin, welche Rolle die gesellschaftliche Umwelt für die Entstehung von Erkrankungen spielt und kann somit der Konzeption neuer Präventionskonzepte dienlich sein. Das vorliegende Buch beschäftigt sich mit der Depressivität von Personen über 50 Jahren in verschiedenen europäischen Wohlfahrtssystemen. Durch einen vergleichenden Ansatz mithilfe von Daten des "Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe" (SHARE) werden regimespezifische Effektdynamiken im Hinblick auf Stressexposition, die Ausstattung mit Bewältigungsressourcen und Depressivität aufgedeckt. Hiermit soll einerseits auf die Möglichkeit wohlfahrtsstaatlicher Einflussfaktoren auf die psychische Gesundheit hingewiesen sowie auch eine Synthese von Regimetheorie und soziologischer Stressforschung vorangetrieben werden.

The Depression Comes to the South Side
Reed Christopher Robert
Indiana University Press
2011
sidottu
In the 1920s, the South Side was looked on as the new Black Metropolis, but by the turn of the decade that vision was already in decline—a victim of the Depression. In this timely book, Christopher Robert Reed explores early Depression-era politics on Chicago's South Side. The economic crisis caused diverse responses from groups in the black community, distinguished by their political ideologies and stated goals. Some favored government intervention, others reform of social services. Some found expression in mass street demonstrations, militant advocacy of expanded civil rights, or revolutionary calls for a complete overhaul of the capitalist economic system. Reed examines the complex interactions among these various groups as they played out within the community as it sought to find common ground to address the economic stresses that threatened to tear the Black Metropolis apart.

Depression, now recognized as a significant source of disability across the globe, is something many of us will be familiar with. This book explores the way people have discussed depression and examines how scientific understanding has led to ways to better appreciate and treat the condition.Through evaluations of contemporary research and literature, this book examines how depression has been depicted throughout history and presents an up-to-date account of how a diagnosis is made. Offering a narrative steeped in cognitive neuropsychology and emotion regulation, chapters explore the different theories behind current explanations of why depression develops and how this understanding drives the different ways to treat and manage the condition. It presents a holistic approach that considers depression in the context of physical health and how it impacts across the lifespan.This book is an essential read for practising and trainee clinical psychologists, but its accessible and readable style will appeal to a broader audience of those looking to further understand depression.
