Slavery was a part of the American culture for almost a whole decade (1776-1865), and during that time, many people had to suffer inhumanly for the only solid reason of being a bit different from someone else. There is no way of wiping the past from the memories of those who have struggled, which means that the terror of slavery will always be a part of the human history. As the experience shows, world history is far from being pretty. It has presented its evils so many times that merely counting them would take ages. Every major society, every ...

King’s College London (2016) published a study that argued that Multiple Personality Disorder or more popularly known as Disassociate Personality Disorder is rooted from traumatic experiences. These experiences include child abuse and neglect. This notion is in contrast with the earlier belief that the disorder is linked to suggestibility or proneness to fantasy (King’s College London, 2016). The report n the controversial disorder came recently as experts attempt to give explanation to complex mental disorder (Harper, 2011). Currently, there are two existing motions about what is the cause of the disorder- non-trauma related view and the recent ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

As a result, Sybil tries to attack her with a pair of scissors. The type of therapy that is identified ...

Abstract

This paper deals with two different models of stress theory; namely the response based model of stress which is known as the General Adaptation Syndrome (GAS) and the Transactional model of stress known as the interaction theory. The General Adaptation Syndrome was developed by Hans Selye while the interaction theory was developed by Lazarus and Folkman. This paper discusses these theories in detail along with the frameworks of coping with stress and its impacts on the subject as developed by these theories. First responders are personnel of different departments and institutions that respond to emergency events and situations to ...

Such events are mostly psychological in nature and may include natural disasters, war or even other situations that may invoke the feelings of fear or helplessness. Inasmuch as a number of people may recover from the aftereffects of post-traumatic stress disorder, others experience symptoms that get worse with time which are then referred to as the product of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. Any experience that acts as a threat to oneself is bound to trigger a fight or a freeze response to ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

Abstract

Traumatic brain injury is an acquired injury to the brain that results from an external blunt or penetrating force to the head while; intentional hypoxia is the loss of oxygen supply to the brain which leads to a continuum of injury severity. A review of current literature on this topic suggests that comparisons can be readily drawn between traumatic brain injury and hypoxic brain injury in a rehabilitation setting. Even so, diagnosis of hypoxic brain injury and traumatic brain injury is essential in providing guidance on decisions of treatment. Treating intentional hypoxia, however, involves an establishment of the desired ...

Introduction

Abuse of alcohol and prescription drugs is a nettlesome problem, as its incidence has risen since the beginning of the century. Long-term regular alcohol abuse sooner or later leads to alcohol dependence, mental shock, nervous system and internal organs diseases. Despite the commonly held belief, active-duty personnel in the military are not quite as tough as to be completely immune to the substance abuse problems that blight civilian populations. However, the exact number of the alcohol abusers is very difficult to determine because people tend not to share this information. Thus, the numbers among civilians are very rough as ...

Introduction

Although stress has been found to be normal in some workplaces, excessive stress has been identified as one of the factors that interfere with employee performance and productivity (Interactive, 2011). Additionally, workplace stress affects the emotional and physical health of individuals. Predominantly, the personal ability to manage stress contributes significantly to success in work. Thus, although it is difficult to manage everything in the workplace environment, it does not necessarily mean that one cannot control his or her stress in various workplace situations. Stress in the workplace is not always bad. When an individual is in a comfort zone, ...

The diagnosis of a severe brain injury or traumatic brain injury (TBI) is made by a team of medical professionals. A person who has had a lapse of memory after an injury and has experienced a loss of consciousness that lasted for more than 6 hours has a severe TBI (Traumatic). An interdisciplinary team often decides on the course of treatment; the team may include social workers, physical therapists, speech therapists, doctors, and nurses (Traumatic). The three leading causes of TBI are falling, car accident, or firearms. Additionally, young adults and the elderly at higher risk of sustaining a ...

Mental wellbeing has in the recent past attracted a lot of attention from stakeholders in the health industry after they noted that holistic caring of a patient must involve ensuring mental wellness. In the past, this section of healthcare was overlooked, as mental diseases were not considered ‘illnesses’ but were rather thought to be associated with witchcraft. As a result, any person exhibiting signs of mental illness was shunned and secluded from the community and family members, until he/she passed on. Mental healthcare has as a result lagged behind in terms of providing quality care services to affected patients. ...

Survival, Resilience, and Redemption” by Laura Hillenbrand

During the US Civil War, the Union’s famous Gen. Sherman once said that war is “all hell.” Many military commanders, as well as the countless victims of warfare, have echoed this sentiment down through the ages. Certainly, warfare reveals humanity to sometimes be far less than humane. The worst characteristics of human kind are often brought to the forefront by the nature of war and its relentless objectives. But as horrible as warfare can be for the average soldier in the trenches fighting next to his comrades, it can be (and often is) even more nightmarish and unimaginably ...

Depression is one of the most prevalent psychological disorders in the world, and it can be estimated with the help of a number of different instruments. Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) is one of the most popular self-assessment instruments in the world to determine depressive symptoms.

Anxiety has an intriguing way of dealing with people. In fact, most persons find it difficult handling this individual due to the impact he has on their performance.

In most cases, having to deal with this person is quite an unpleasant experience that requires a great personality to overcome. However, when anxiety and other ...

Mild forgetfulness is common in many people as they age. However, memory loss, especially with younger individuals, can be a sign of a more serious problem called amnesia.

Introduction

David Eagleman’s (2015) book entitled The Brain details scientific discoveries about the way the human brain processes information. The book details the ways in which one’s sensory capabilities and sensory processing activities formulates the way in which one interprets the external environment. It is the combination of sensory capabilities and the processing of sensory input that is largely responsible for the “reality” that one experiences (Eagleman, 2015). The external environment or what humanity would collectively call “reality” is not necessarily what truly exists. Reality may in fact be more subjective or internal than previously thought. Therefore, one ...
