Review & Description

An analysis of the problems of interpersonal communication, as viewed from a human behavior standpoint. Real communication occurs when one listens to another person's viewpoint with empathic understanding. It is possible to facilitate achievement of this communication breakthrough by summarizing the speaker's thoughts and feelings to his or her satisfaction before presenting a rebuttal. This procedure leads to the reduction of defensiveness and gradual achievement of mutual communication. A second analysis deals with communication in an industrial context. An example illustrates how differently two supervisors interpret an employee's reaction to a suggestion. This article, first published in 1952, is reprinted to include a retrospective commentary by John J. Gabarro. Read more

Description:
This study focuses on male family situation and premature mortality. For a total of 682,919 men, we analysed mortality from different causes (1991-2000) among lone fathers, with and without custody of their children, and among childless men, with and without partners. Long-term cohabiting fathers with a child in their household were used as comparison group. We employed data from Swedish censuses, national health-data registers, and a Swedish register containing information about known biological relations between children and parents. We investigated the extent to which different kinds of relations were influenced by varying socioeconomic circumstances between groups, and also processes of health selection. The results suggest that lone non-custodial fathers and lone childless men face the greatest increase in risks, especially from injury and addiction, and also from all-cause mortality and ischaemic heart disease. Being a lone custodial father also entails increased risk, although generally to a much lesser extent, and not for all outcomes. The elevated risks found in all the subgroups considered diminished substantially when proxy variables to control for health-selection effects and socioeconomic circumstances were added to the initial model. Risks fell most in response to introduction of the socioeconomic variables, but health selection also played a major role, mostly in the cases of lone non-custodial fathers and lone childless men. However, even following these adjustments, significant risk increases, although greatly attenuated, remained for all the subgroups. Read more

Review & Description

This digital document is a journal article from Behaviour Research and Therapy, published by Elsevier in 2004. The article is delivered in HTML format and is available in your Amazon.com Media Library immediately after purchase. You can view it with any web browser.

Description:
This study extends the data on the efficacy of cognitive interventions for patients with chronic medical problems and describes the case of a 37-year-old woman with an anxiety disorder related to diabetes. The effects on panic frequency, use of safety behaviour and related beliefs were investigated after the introduction of two main cognitive-behavioral interventions. The results are consistent with predictions from the cognitive model of panic. This case demonstrates the usefulness of directly challenging the 'meaning' of the feared situation in order to produce clinically significant improvements in the management of physical disease.
