Facing Distress by Els van Dongen,Ruth Kutalek Pdf

Distance and proximity are concepts par excellence to describe what may happen in times of illness and suffering. When one faces distress and suffering the need of proximity of the sick or suffering person may manifest itself or - the opposite - a need of distance exists. A doctor or an anthropologist may believe proximity is necessary, but the other can disagree. Illness raises questions for all individuals. The sick individual will question his/her relationship with others and being-in-the-world. The authors of this volume take up issues of distance and proximity in illness and suffering in various situations. The papers were first discussed in a workshop at the 8th Biennial EASA (European Association of Social Anthropologists) conference in Vienna in September 2004.

Corporate Financial Distress by Marisa Agostini Pdf

This book, divided into three main parts, will offer a complete overview of the concept of corporate financial distress, emphasizing the different typologies of corporate paths included in this broad concept. It will reorganize and update academic literature about the evaluation of corporate financial distress from the first studies about failure prediction to the most recent contributions. It will also provide evidence about the evolution of going concern standards in both international and U.S. contexts. Moreover, an in-depth analysis of this broad concept will permit the identification of a set of research questions to be investigated from both theoretical and empirical points of view, and will be of interest to academic researchers and doctoral students of accounting, auditing and finance, professionals, and standard setters.

Empowerment Practice with Families in Distress by Judith Bula Wise Pdf

For more than 150 years, empowering practices have been used by social workers in their work with families, but the techniques of today differ significantly from those of the pioneers or even from those of a few years ago. Today's practitioners recognize that empowering others is impossible; social workers can, however, assist others as they empower themselves. This book integrates time-honored approaches with today's more modest goals, mindful of what empowerment can and cannot do. Synthesizing several theoretical supports—the strengths perspective, system theory, theories of family well-being, and theories of coping—the author responds to the question "What works?" with today's families in need. Practice illustrations are provided throughout to bring concepts to life and, more important, to present families describing their own experiences with achieving empowerment.

Agrarian Distress and Farmer Suicides in North India by Lakhwinder Singh,Kesar Singh Bhangoo,Rakesh Sharma Pdf

This volume provides a comprehensive and detailed socio-economic overview of agrarian distress in India which has manifested in the suicides of farmers and agricultural labourers. Using empirical research and field data from rural India, especially Punjab, this book examines the underlying causes of farmer suicide and steps which can mitigate the crisis. Covering nearly 1,400 rural households, the research in this volume identifies the various dimensions of the deepening crisis in agriculture and farming. It categorises the factors of the problem across different regions and estimates its extent and magnitude. In this updated edition the authors focus on instances of political mobilization and collective movements by farmers struggling to bring the issue of agrarian distress to attention. The book also discusses the implementation of state-waivered loans and compensations and their effect on the farming community. Topical, comprehensive and rich in data, this book will be valuable to scholars and researchers of political economy, agricultural economics, South Asian politics, political sociology and public policy.

Face to Face with Distress by Peter Griffiths,Diane Wells,Elizabeth Barnes Pdf

How can professionals manage the boundary between personal involvement and professional detachment when faced constantly by people in distress? The authors explore a broad range of perspectives on this question, from philosophical enquiry to the dilemmas of everyday practice. They draw on a common experience of psychosocial nurse training at the Cassel Hospital - a therapeutic community based on psychodynamic ideas and experiential learning. Now, writing from a variety of different settings, they show how personal feelings can provide a key to understanding and containing the emotional needs of people in distress. They demonstrate the central role of shared reflection with colleagues for developing skills, practical theories and theory-based practice. This book is for all practitioners concerned with the provision of high quality psychosocial care to individuals, families, groups and organisations. It will be a valuable resource for students undertaking diploma and degree courses in nursing, health and social care, and for the providers of such courses. It will also be of interest to researchers and managers.
