Menopause, Me and You

The Sound of Women Pausing

By: Ellen Cole,Esther D Rothblum,Ann M Voda

Menopause, Me and You will help you put menopause in proper perspective--as a normal and natural developmental process in the lives of women, not as a disorder or state that causes disease. This informative book gives you self-monitoring tools for collecting information and monitoring changes in your body during menopause. These tools will also help you understand the dynamics of the change process. A guideline as to how to best use this information when interacting with care providers--especially those who view menopause as a disorder to be treated--is also included. Menopause, Me and You is filled with information-gathering tools, scientific facts, and stories from the true “experts” on menopause--the women themselves who have experienced or are experiencing menopause. In chapter after chapter, you’ll gain valuable information for viewing menopause from a woman-centered perspective. Specifically, the book includes: detailed information on conception and fertilization, reconceptualizing these events from a woman-centered, feminist perspective a description and reconceptualization of the menstrual cycle and menstruation, providing the knowledge base--the physiological, endrocrinological, and biochemical mechanisms that regulate the menstrual cycle and menstruation--to understand menopause as the closure of menstrual life and not the end of life a journey into the steroid hormone target cell--shows, at a scientific level, that women were genetically programmed to end the production of reproductive hormones a description and clarification of some of the terms used to describe menopause common menopausal changes and diseases attributed to being estrogen-deficient tools for gathering information, for “discovering knowledge,” about yourself--a menstrual calendar card, hot flash body diagrams, a basal body temperature record, a body composition record, a menstrual bleeding scale, and factors to consider when choosing a care provider The women who share their experiences in Menopause, Me and You represent women at various stages of menopause. They describe for you what they are feeling as well as what it means to be a mid-life woman at the closure of reproductive life; they celebrate the end of menstruation but curse the changes--including mood swings, hot flashes, and vaginal/bleeding changes--they are experiencing. These changes are normal and expected, however, and need to be understood in that context. They are not symptoms of disease or an excuse for care providers to instantly prescribe hormones or drugs. With the information in Menopause, Me and You, women nearing or experiencing menopause, health care providers, such as nurses, health educators, and physicians, and counselors will better understand how women view this transition and come to accept it as another normal, necessary, and beautiful process in the lives of women.

Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

An Approach to Empower Families At-Risk for Child Physical Abuse

Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

An Approach to Empower Families At-Risk for Child Physical Abuse

By: Melissa K. Runyon,Esther Deblinger

Violence is an epidemic that negatively impacts children across their lifespan. Reports indicate 2.1 million youth have experienced physical abuse during their lifetimes, disrupting the healthy development of children from the toddler years through adolescence, and most cases involve parents. Some parents lack the skills to effectively parent and use physical discipline as a strategy to control their children's problem behaviors. They may use increasing force if children continue to be noncompliant, which places many children at-risk for harm. Combined Parent-Child Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CPC-CBT), created by Melissa K. Runyon and Esther Deblinger and outlined in this guide, provides an evidence-based intervention aimed at empowering families to develop optimistic outlooks on parenting and peaceful home environments, and to decrease stress experienced both by parents and children. CPC-CBT incorporates elements from empirically supported CBT models for families who have experienced physical abuse, sexual abuse, and domestic violence; additionally, CPC-CBT draws on concepts from developmental theory, learning theory, family systems theory, and motivational interviewing. The target population includes children (ages 3-17 years) and their parents/caregivers who have already engaged in or are at-risk for physically abusive behavior towards their children. This manual is for clinicians, clinical supervisors, administrators, and others who are considering the implementation of CPC-CBT in their agencies with families at-risk for child physical abuse.

Tasks, methods and objectives of socio-educational family assistance

GRIN Translations

By: Esther Ruoß

Academic Paper from the year 2007 in the subject Social Work, grade: 1,3, Protestant University of Applied Sciences Ludwigsburg, language: English, abstract: This text was translated with the help of AI and reviewed by the GRIN editorial team. During my second internship semester, I was able to familiarise myself with the work of Sozialpädagogische Familienhilfe (SPFH). SPFH is a very varied and interesting field of work and, in my opinion, has a very good starting point for socio-pedagogical work in educational support because it involves the whole family - parents and children alike. SPFH works with families who usually have to deal with several difficulties and problems at the same time - in the language of resilience research, these are families with multiple risk burdens. Children from such families must have a high level of resilience in order to be able to develop normally despite the adverse circumstances. The SPFH in Germany had its beginning in the 60s in Berlin. Out of an emergency situation – at that time all homes were overcrowded – the then Berlin home manager of all state children's homes – Martin Bonhoeffer – had the idea of having five children who needed temporary care, instead of in the home, cared for by an unemployed friend in the children's apartment. At that time, however, this was not approved by the responsible district office. In 1969, Bonhoeffer's idea was followed by a group of educators, social workers, sociologists and pedagogues who founded the association "Berliner Gesellschaft für Heimerziehung e.V." and whose aim was to develop new educational concepts and strategies. Bonhoeffer's group developed his idea of an alternative to external accommodation and so, for the first time, five children whose mother had to go to the hospital could be cared for at home instead of in the home. Due to this successful first mission, further deployments of the family assistance offer could be carried out. The beginnings of the SPFH therefore lie in family care, in order to continue to ensure the care of the children and the housekeeping in the absence of the mother or the main care person. Even today, the SPFH is sometimes still confused with family care.
