Health Situation of Adults in Germany - Results for Selected Indicators from GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS
Abstract: In this article, we examine selected health indicators for the adult population aged 18 years and older in Germany (n=22,708) from the German Health Update (GEDA 2019/2020-EHIS) conducted between April 2019 and September 2020. These indicators include those of self-assessed health and depressive symptoms as well as chronic physical diseases and conditions. In young adulthood (18 to 44 years), over 80% of participants report good or very good subjective health. During this phase of life, most chronic diseases and conditions are rare, although allergies are frequent, and bronchial asthma and depressive symptoms are not uncommon. From mid adulthood (45 years and older), there is a gradual increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and osteoarthritis. Over 60% of older adults (65 years and older) report a chronic disease or long-term health problem, while only half continue to report good or very good s
An Experiential Approach to Psychopathology
This book introduces the reader to a clear and consistent method for in-depth exploration of subjective psychopathological experiences with the aim of helping to restore the ability within psychiatry and clinical psychology to draw qualitative distinctions between mental symptoms that are only apparently similar, thereby promoting a more precise characterization of experiential phenotypes. A wide range of mental disorders are considered in the book, each portrayed by a distinguished clinician. Each chapter begins with the description of a paradigmatic case study in order to introduce the reader directly to the patient’s lived world. The first-person perspective of the patient is the princi...
Burnout, Fatigue, Exhaustion
This interdisciplinary book explores both the connections and the tensions between sociological, psychological, and biological theories of exhaustion. It examines how the prevalence of exhaustion – both as an individual experience and as a broader socio-cultural phenomenon – is manifest in the epidemic rise of burnout, depression, and chronic fatigue. It provides innovative analyses of the complex interplay between the processes involved in the production of mental health diagnoses, socio-cultural transformations, and subjective illness experiences. Using many of the existing ideologically charged exhaustion theories as case studies, the authors investigate how individual discomfort and wider social dynamics are interrelated. Covering a broad range of topics, this book will appeal to those working in the fields of psychology, sociology, medicine, psychiatry, literature, and history.
Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans
The movements toward cultural sensitivity and evidence-based practice are watershed developments in clinical psychology. As a population with a long history of substandard treatment from mental health systems, African Americans have especially benefitted from these improvements. But as with other racial and ethnic minorities, finding relevant test measures in most psychological domains presents clinicians with an ongoing challenge. The Guide to Psychological Assessment with African Americans aims to close the evaluation/therapy gap by giving practitioners the tools to choose appropriate instruments while respecting client individuality. Expert contributors analyze scarce and far-flung data, ...
Relationships in Organized Helping
This edited volume offers up-to-date research on the interactive building and managing of relationships in organized helping. Its contributions address this core of helping in psychotherapy, coaching, doctor-patient interaction, and digital helping interaction and document and analyze essential communicative practices of relationship management. A summarizing contribution identifies common dimensions of relationship management across the different helping contexts and thereby provides a framework for understanding and researching how interactive practices and helping relationships are interconnected. The volume brings together researchers and practitioners and merges academic approaches to studying relationships with practical knowledge about verbal helping in these settings. The book is intended for scholars in the field of organized helping as well as for students and researchers of communication and discourse / conversation analysis in professional and organized contexts. It is also addressed to practitioners interested in learning more about the micro- and meso-management of their working relationships.
Philosophie der Sucht
Aufbauend auf den Erkenntnissen der Pharmakologie, Psychoanalyse und Soziologie entwirft Andreas Bell eine philosophische Anthropologie der Sucht. Aus dem Wissen um die Tiefendimensionen, die allen Suchtformen zugrunde liegen, entwickelt er ethische Leitlinien und Handlungsempfehlungen für Ärzte und Therapeuten, die ihr Handeln vor sich selbst, ihren Patienten und der Gesellschaft rechtfertigen wollen. Kritische Blicke werden auch auf Politik und Selbsthilfe gerichtet. Sucht zu verstehen und Süchtige verantwortbar zu begleiten oder zu behandeln ist das Ziel dieses Buchs.
Diskurse über Krankheit
Krankheit ist für jeden Menschen ein relevantes Thema. Was aber unter Krankheit zu verstehen ist, ist kontrovers und keineswegs festgelegt. Selbst die drei führenden Wissenschaften zum Thema sind sich uneins: Weder in der Medizin noch in der Psychologie gibt es eine eindeutige Definition von Krankheit und auch die Philosophie verhandelt seit ihren Anfängen unterschiedliche Modelle. Um Krankheit interdisziplinär begreifbar zu machen, wenden sich die Beiträger*innen jeweils bestimmten Aspekten von physischen und psychischen Krankheiten zu. Sie liefern so nicht nur ein Panorama einschlägiger Krankheitskonzepte, sondern zeigen auch, dass sich Krankheit nur als Vielfalt von Diskursen fassen lässt.
