PublishAmerica. Paperback. New. Paperback. 187 pages. Dimensions: 8.5in. x 5.5in. x 0.4in.Spanning over forty years of her life, Maureen had to endure not only the mental and physical abuse of a delusional father, but a mother who kept her fathers brutality a secrethidden behind closed doors in order to save her own face in the eyes of others. Through strength and determination, she continued to overcome the obstacles of early childhood through young adulthood, only to be knocked down again by the doctors in the mental health profession with whom she sought help. Due to their inexperience, unkindness, and even intolerance, many doctors refused to believe that such cruelties could have indeed taken place. In many cases the psychiatrists would abuse and mentally torture her themselves, by trying to pressure Maureen into denying that these accusations of her family really occurred. If not for the brave assistance and help of a few individuals who were willing to step forward and intervene on her behalf, it is quite possible that Maureen would not have been able to push forward and achieve any productive results, including this book.

Excerpt: . . . mitigate this problem, IHSC is exploring the use of Title 38 authority and partnering with the Veterans Administration to help fill vacancies. OIG Analysis: This recommendation is resolved and open pending ( 1 ) the selection and hiring of a permanent director, and ( 2 ) the outcome of IHSCs use of available hiring tools including efforts to determine whether Title 38 and partnering with the Veterans Administration can be used to fill mental health staffing vacancies. ICE Needs to Establish Staffing Models for Managing Mental Health Care Needs In our 2008 report, entitled ICE Policies Related to Detainee Deaths and the Oversight of Immigration Detention Facilities, we stressed the importance of aligning clinical staffing with ICE 8 strategic planning for detention management. However, ICE has not established an allocation plan that aligns staffing with the detention facilities mental health case load. Without such staffing allocation plan, ICE cannot be assured of each facilitys ability to provide detainees with an acceptable level of health care. Mental health staff at facilities also commented that the standard for staffing plans should be aligned with the workload of each facility, the number of patients requiring medical services, and available bed space at each facility. While ICE does not have a standard definition for a mental health team, one clinical director identified a psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker as key members of such team. Of the 18 IHSC-staffed facilities, 11 facilities were allocated positions for a minimum of one psychiatrist, psychologist, and social worker. However, the remaining seven facilities were not allocated at least one position for each of these disciplines. Three of the seven faciliti. . .

This book sets out in clear and comprehensive terms what the death of a parent means to most adults--how it in fact functions as a turning point in our emotional, social, and personal lives. Drawing on her own groundbreaking research, in-depth interviews, and data collected nationwide, Debra Umberson explores the social and psychological factors that determine how this important loss will affect us--as a personal crisis or an opportunity for healthy change. Her book shows how adults, far from the finished beings we are often assumed to be, can be profoundly transformed by the death of a parent--in beliefs, behavior, goals, sense of self--transformed in ways that will continue to affect us, for better or worse, for the rest of our lives. Debra Umberson is Professor and Chair of Sociology at the University of Texas at Austin. She is the only scholar to have published on the topic of parental death in adulthood using national data, and her resume includes 36 published articles and chapters in leading academic journals and books on family and health topics. Dr. Umberson has received many awards. She won an award for her research for Death of a Parent from FIRST Award from the National Institute on Aging. Umbersons newest research, which is also sponsored by the National Institute of Aging, focuses on how marital quality changes over the life course. Umberson is currently serving as an elected officer of both the Mental Health Section and the Medical Sociology Section of the American Sociological Association (the national professional association of sociologists in the United States). She has served as deputy editor of the Journal of Health and Social Behavior and associate editor of the Journal of Family Issues. She is currently associate editor of Journal of Marriage and the Family. This item ships from multiple locations.

Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: . . . in the custody of a private child-caring agency. (Cases V 2865, 2866, 2867. ) The PoxsibUitie of Care by the rarentn. Physical and mental condition and character of the parents. Among the most important considerations that determine the ability of mothers of children out of wedlock to maintain themselves and their children are their physical condition and their mentality, for the mothers mental and physical fitness and ability to care for her child, as well as her earning capacity, are largely dependent upon these factors. They must be taken into account by any social agency in planning what arrangements can best be made for the childs care and in deciding whether the mother and child are to be kept together or separated. During the childs infancy the primary need is for nursing care and, unless the mothers physical condition is such as to menace the childs health, other considerations may be waived for the sake of securing proper nourishment for the infant. Many mothers whose disabilities make them unfit to care for their children as they grow older, may safely be kept with them during the nursing period, if given supervision and financial assistance. The mothers of 22 per cent of the 2, 178 children whose histories gave more or less complete social information were known to be physically defective or diseased or in such poor physical condition as to be handicapped in caring for their children. The mothers of 3 per cent had died before the applications for the care of the children were made. Children whose mothers had been diagnosed as having syphilis or gonorrhea comprised 6 per cent of the total. 9 The mothers of 379 of the 2, 178 children--17 per cent--were belownormal mentally. In 7 per cent of the cases the mother was feebleminded or insane. 10 The ph. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub, RareBooksClub. Paperback. New. This item is printed on demand.
