The Ecology of Prevention

Illustrating Mental Health Consultation

By: Robert E Hess

This provocative volume offers an enlightening look at mental health consultation as a preventive service. To enhance the prospects of consultation being preventive, consultation is defined as an ecological enterprise. Although attention is given to outcomes, process is the key in this book. This beneficial volume presents ten valuable principles to guide the work of a consultant, plus case studies representing different topics--self-esteem of high school students in rural Oregon, child abuse prevention in a rural and urban setting in Iowa, a junior high school consolidation in Maryland, and preventive services for Lutheran congregations in Minnesota. Each of the authors of the four case examples in their actual consultation and in their descriptions of their consultation have extended and elaborated what it means to think ecologically. Following an unusual format, the comments from the recipients of the interventions described in the case studies have been included as a reminder that prevention, in its truest spirit, involves partnerships, that “subjects” or “consultees” have feelings and opinions about their participation, and that subjective data are as important as objective data.

Career Stress in Changing Times

By: Robert E Hess

In terms of time, energy, and money, a career is one of the most important investments that a person makes during his or her lifetime. Career Stress in Changing Times is an exciting volume that covers the entire career cycle, from beginning through mid-career dilemmas to the retirement transition. Many key career issues and stressors--as they are experienced during each stage of one’s career--are examined. Experts also explore the major social and cultural forces that influence careers and will continue to do so in the next century, including women’s influx into the workplace, the decline of blue-collar labor, the changing demographics of our nation, and the movement toward a world economy. Career Stress in Changing Times is ideal for individuals involved in career planning activities, professionals counseling people engaged in career planning transitions, and educators involved in teaching career planning seminars. This volume is unique in that it blends the work of academic researchers with that of practitioners on the firing line; it blends theoretical and conceptual work with empirical, data-based research as well as with the results of in-depth interviews and reports from the direct experience of practitioners.

Ethical Implications of Primary Prevention

Ethical Implications of Primary Prevention

By: Robert Hess

Here is the first systematic and focused treatment of the ethical implications of primary prevention practice and research. This important volume reviews historical precedents, assesses current practice, and points to future directions concerning the ethical implications of primary prevention interventions and research. It provides a philosophical framework for the consideration of the ethical issues involved when preventionists intervene to "do good." The primary prevention movement has gained increasing momentum across a wide variety of mental health ans social service fields, including psychology, psychiatry, social work, psychiatric nursing, and public health. Because of the primitive state of development of the field of primary prevention, many planned social interventions are, necessarily, based upon hunches, thus exposing citizens to interventions whose outcomes are not altogether assured. Although there is wide acknowledgment that ethical considerations should be significant in determining preventionists'actions, scant attention has been paid to the ethical implications of this rapidly growing area of practice and research. Minimal literature exists that addresses the ethical implications of preventive interventions in the human services, and training programs give short shrift to the issue. Professional codes of ethics also do not address the unique issues of primary prevention, focusing instead on the more traditional direct practice roles. In beginning to suggest how ethical standards for prevention research and practice can be developed, this volume will stimulate discussion and fram the future debate about ethical behavior by preventionists. Even more important, preventionists will no longer be able to discount or omit ethical considerations as they conceptualize and implement their work. Ethical Implications of Primary Prevention contains provocative chapters--from a variety of perspectives--that will promote a spirited debate about the real impact of preventionists'actions.

The National Mental Health Association

Eighty Years of Involvement in the Field of Prevention

By: Robert E Hess

Here is a unique and important volume that pays tribute to the contributions of the National Mental Health Association to the field of prevention.For more than 80 years, the National Mental Health Association has been a major force in the advancement of the field of prevention. It has pursued an impressive three-pronged mission of promoting health, preventing mental illness, and improving the care and treatment of persons with mental illnesses through advocacy at all levels of state and national government and the development of prevention programs.The National Mental Health Association: Eighty Years of Involvement in the Field of Prevention traces the history of the association’s involvement in prevention back to the first decade of the century. Mental health professionals from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Texas, South Carolina, New York, and Illinois describe some of the diverse activities relating to prevention in which local associations are involved, such as public education, direct intervention, and legislative advocacy. In addition, a large part of the volume is devoted to in-depth descriptions of seven programs of sufficient distinction and merit to have received the association’s prestigious Lela Rowland Prevention Award, which recognizes outstanding prevention programs in the area of mental health.This volume should be read by the hundreds of thousands of Mental Health Association members, as well as community psychologists, social workers, and professionals in mental health centers and state mental health departments.

Religion and Prevention in Mental Health

Research, Vision, and Action

By: Robert E Hess,Kenneth I Maton,Kenneth Pargament

Here is the first book which highlights the unique resource of religion in the field of prevention. Until now, religious systems have been a largely undertapped resource of talent, energy, care, and physical and financial assets. Religion and Prevention in Mental Health is a significant new volume that lays a general foundation for preventive work in the religious area. It presents a number of reasons for examining religion as a source for aiding prevention and well-being. The authors dispute the popular notion of religion as damaging to mental health, as well as the idea that religious affiliation is entirely predictive of better mental health. Instead they focus on the framework for living that religions provide which assists believers in anticipating, avoiding, or modifying problems before they develop. For the human service professional willing to build a collaborative relationship with religious systems, this vital book depicts the richness and diversity of religion and shows the interface of religion, well-being, and prevention. Important issues such as the impact of religion on American society and the ethos of mental health and prevention, the historical and contemporary role of the African-American church as an empowering agent and mediating structure for black citizens, the critical roles of theology in determining the attitude of religious systems toward prevention and well-being, the importance of community and personal narratives, and the limitations of religious settings due to their survival concerns and methods to increase their potential to heal are all discussed thoroughly. Through a better understanding of religious settings, programs, and processes, human service professionals can more effectively utilize religion and reach a neglected portion of the population in need of help. In addition, religious leaders, mental health professionals including counselors, social workers, program developers, evaluators, and administrators, and psychologists, sociologists, and anthropologists will benefit from the comprehensive material provided in this timely book.

Korean War Filmography

91 English Language Features through 2000

By: Robert J. Lentz

The Korean experience changed the way Americans viewed war. The lack of a clear-cut victory inspired filmmakers to try to make sense of fighting another country's civil war and risking American lives for an unpopular cause. This filmography details more than 90 English-language films. Each entry includes complete cast and credit listings, a plot synopsis, evaluation, review snippets, and notice of video availability. This book places each film in its historical context, assesses the essential truthfulness of each film and evaluates its entertainment value, and discusses how--and why--Korean War films differ from other Hollywood war genres. Four appendices list the films by chronology; production company and studio; level of historical accuracy; and subject and theme. Additional appendices list films with incidental references to the Korean War; documentaries on the Korean War; and South Korean films about the war. Photographs, a bibliography, and an index are included.
