_______________________
Traumatic stress is found in many competent, healthy, strong, good people.
No one can completely protect themselves from traumatic experiences.
Many people have long-lasting problems following exposure to trauma.
Up to 8% of persons will have PTSD at some time in their lives. People who
react to traumas are not going crazy. What is happening to them is
part of a set of common symptoms and problems that are connected with being
in a traumatic situation, and thus, is a normal reaction to abnormal events
and experiences. Having symptoms after a traumatic event is
NOT a sign of personal weakness. Given exposure to a trauma that is
bad enough, probably all people would develop PTSD.
By understanding trauma
symptoms better, a person can become less fearful of them and better able to
manage them. By recognizing the effects of trauma and knowing more about
symptoms, a person will be better able to decide about getting treatment.

Title: Troubling experiences: Female subjectivity and fear in teaching.

Language: English
Keywords: female subjectivity; artistic processes; teacher
education; professional development; fear in teaching; teaching
experiences; feminist poststructuralism; feminist spirituality
Abstract: What can experiences of fear and pain show us about
subjectivity, especially female subjectivity, in the context of
teaching? In what ways can artistic processes such as writing and visual
art help us un-cover such experiences, search further, re-search-and
ultimately resymbolize them? What insights can we derive that will
inform our practices in teacher education and professional development?
The study is undertaken on at least two different levels: that of the
actual writing of this text and that of a group of female teachers,
including me as participant-researcher, who met over the course of a
year to explore experiences of fear in teaching through writing, visual
art, and conversation. In the collective, we wrote about our difficult
teaching experiences, shared the writing, and responded to one another's
stories through drawing, painting, sculpture, writing, and talk. The
process of creating found poetry from the transcripts of the meetings
functions as an interpretive practice. The writing of this text
functions too as a means of interpreting what happened in the
collective. Various theoretical influences such as feminist
poststructuralism and feminist spirituality are interwoven. Also,
various forms of writing are juxtaposed including: the found poetry from
the transcripts, original poetry, expressive writing, visual images from
the artwork created in the collective process, and traditional academic
exposition. Through the writing process and through the collective
process as methods of inquiry, the study provides useful means of
resymbolizing experience and thereby of unsettling taken-for-granted
ways of reading same, processes that are themselves potentially useful
in teacher education and professional development. Themes that arose
with regard to female subjectivity and fear in teaching include: a sense
of homelessness that arises in a male-dominated symbolic, a physical
experience of space that is tightly circumscribed and often perceived of
as unsafe, a relational way of being that erases the individuality and
separateness so valued in educational settings, and the contradictory
expectations of teacher-as-role that is, at times, construed as personal
inadequacy. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)

Abstract: (from the create) This chapter is an abridged version of
"Substance Dependency among Homeless American Indians," by Susan Lobo,
Ph.D., and Margaret Mortensen Vaughan, M.A., which appeared in (Journal
of Psychoactive Drugs, 2003, Vol 35[1], 63-70). (The following abstract
of the original article appeared in record 2003-03799-011.) Extensive
qualitative research in the San Francisco Bay Area in California and in
Tucson, Arizona, indicates strong associations between substance abuse
and homelessness among American Indians. This article takes a
comparative approach to describe and analyze precipitating factors and
survival patterns of those who are both homeless and who suffer from
substance dependency. Possible precipitating factors presented through
case studies consider the complex interaction of childhood fostering or
adoption into non-Native families, different types of involuntary
institutionalization during youth, and the personal impact of accident,
trauma and loss. Coping strategies and keys to survival are examined,
including the role of the extended family and close friendships,
American Indian and mainstream organizations that offer formal and
informal services, the existence of anchor or key households, the
helping relationships and sobriety groups among homeless individuals,
spirituality, and cultural resiliency. (PsycINFO Database Record (c)

Abstract: A qualitative methodology was used to examine the
relationship between homeless women's spirituality, substance abuse,
moral reasoning and developmental decision-making. Findings indicated
that a lack of development in spirituality and the ability to make
decisions in childhood is related to homeless, addicted women's
inability to maintain abstinence and achieve social independence.
Spirituality impacted decisions to abstain from substance abuse and
increased the women's social independence. Findings suggest that
treatment needs to incorporate spirituality, family of origin, and the
development of skills for independent decision-making. The authors
propose that childhood maltreatment, homelessness and substance abuse
impede spiritual development. Therefore, substance abuse treatment needs
to include a focus on spirituality and moral reasoning in the recovery
process. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights

Keywords: substance abuse, 21-48 yr old African American females
Abstract: Employed a combined quantitative and qualitative design
to investigate substance abuse in African American women ages 21-48 yrs.
Life experiences of women with histories of chemical dependence were
compared with women who were maintaining a nonabusing lifestyle.
Variables examined were history of parental substance abuse and child
abuse, exposure to racism and traumatic events, and social support and
spirituality. The substance abusing and nonabusing women were
distinguished from each other in the areas of spirituality and family
connectedness. Although all Ss reported high violence exposure and
personal losses, significantly more substance abusing women reported
being battered, experiencing homelessness, and more traumatic events. Ss
described multiple experiences with racism, though their descriptions of
their responses to these experiences suggested different styles of
coping. The authors contend that findings have significant implications
for prevention of substance abuse, particularly in the areas of
religious involvement family support, and the development of active
problem-solving strategies. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all

disorders
Abstract: Presents the background, development, and content of a
manualized home-based family intervention for ethnic minority families
with a seriously mentally ill member. The development of this
homelessness prevention intervention is based on the premise that the
client's home can be one of the most effective venues for achieving
long-term positive outcomes from mental health services. By observing
the patient within the context of the home environment, staff can more
accurately assess the family dynamics and encourage family members to
fulfill more effective roles as caregivers. Through effective case
management and other interventions, the Integrated Services Agency has
been able to change the service utilization pattern from in-patient
care, homelessness, and incarceration to community treatment within the
framework of integrated comprehensive services. Ten salient points which
have been significant to this agency's positive outcomes are discussed.
We also provide a model for conceptualizing the strengths and burdens of
the study population of low-SES African Americans and Latinos. We
identified the strengths as the extended family, the kinship network,
the church and spirituality, and strong education and work ethics.

Keywords: stability in housing after periods of homelessness,
53-67 yr olds
Abstract: This qualitative study explores the factors which
contributed to stability in housing for 12 elderly people who had been
homeless in Portland, Oregon. Semi-structured interviews with each of
the participants were audio-taped and then transcribed. An analysis
based on Grounded Theory was used to generate theories about what
facilitates one's managing to seek, find, and stabilize in housing. At
the time of the study all of the participants were living in a
subsidized apartment building. The length of tenancy varied from 2
months to 3 years at the time of the interview. They were assisted in
finding their housing through Northwest Pilot Project, an agency serving
elderly people. The age range of the participants was 53 to 67 years. In
keeping with the tenets of Grounded Theory, the sample was selected for
diversity in terms of race, gender, disability, length of time homeless,
age when first homeless, history of drug and alcohol use and treatment,
and history and treatment of psychiatric difficulties. The following
categories emerged given the responses of the participants: Ways of
Managing, Defining Experiences, and Perceptions of How People Become
Homeless. Subcategories for Ways of Managing included Self-Reliance,
Reliance on Others, Use of Services, and the Role of Faith and
Spirituality. Defining Experiences included Early Childhood Events,
Adult Experiences, Work Experiences and Skills, and Health and Aging.
Perceptions of How People Become Homeless included Lack of Affordable
Housing, Impact of Funding Cutbacks on Provision of Social Services, and
Personal Style. The philosophical basis for the study was the importance
of understanding and building upon successes of individuals, as well as
organizations. This population was selected given the unique needs of
people who are in the later stages of their lives and the remarkable
stability in housing which follows, in some cases, lengthy periods of
being homeless. Plausible explanations for the success these
participants have had in maintaining housing include: (a) determination
to take care of one's physical needs; (b) comprehensive and accessible
services for this age bracket; and (c) quality and nature of service
provision. It was hypothesized that these factors combined to make
dramatic changes for the participants involved. The agency's ongoing
presence in the apartment building may provide a cost-effective means of
providing necessary support as one makes a transition into housing. This
feature of agency may have implications for service provision for people
of all ages who are homeless and are seeking housing. (PsycINFO Database

Keywords: coping & adaptation & self-assessments of health &
management of illness & associated problems, women with AIDS
Abstract: The experiences of disadvantaged women with AIDS were
examined in an exploratory study (n = 12) which used multiple in-depth
interviews and qualitative data analysis methods. Taylor's cognitive
theory of adaptation to life-threatening events provided a frame of
reference to explore the ways women understood and made meaning of HIV
illness, their efforts at managing the illness and associated problems,
and self-assessments of health, coping, and adaptation. Participants'
understanding of HIV illness evolved as they compared their own and
others' experiences to information provided by professionals. Resulting
contradictions prompted a process of self-education, which empowered
some women to take control of their medical treatment and confused other
women who were unable to reconcile discrepant information. The women
developed beliefs about HIV/AIDS which functioned to destigmatize it and
reframed the experience of HIV infection to promote feelings of personal
control. AIDS prompted self-examination, and many believed they had made
positive change, especially women who found purpose in life through
helping others and women who entered recovery. AIDS often produced
upsetting emotions, and over half the participants experienced episodes
of significant and generally untreated depression. In coping with
emotional distress, the women used a variety of cognitive and behavioral
strategies and relied upon spirituality and support from their children
and others with AIDS. They used common sense measures to manage the
illness and promote health and considered these effective, even while
they believed they ultimately had no control over disease progression
and death. The majority rated their health as good and compared
themselves favorably to other women with AIDS. They believed they coped
well with AIDS and that their overall adaptation was good. Threats to
self-confidence were identified, however. Considering others in later
stages of AIDS who were well-known to them resulted in identification
and fears about their future, rather than favorable comparisons.
Thinking about the future in general was avoided, as this raised fears
of being alone, disability, and homelessness. The subject of death was
less troubling, as the women had developed philosophical and religious
beliefs which alleviated fear. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA,

Keywords: vulnerabilities that account for social problems in
contemporary society & psychological sense of community & applications
of community psychology to & alternative models for community building
Abstract: (from the book) The author describes a series of
vulnerabilities that help account for many of the serious problems
facing contemporary society in industrialized countries, including high
crime rates; homelessness; alcohol, tobacco, and other drug addictions;
and a pervasive sense of isolation and alienation. These vulnerabilities
are aggressive tendencies in our genetic makeup; our separation from
nature; loss of external moral and religious symbols and guideposts; and
loss of connection with the land, crafts, and communities. These
vulnerabilities predispose industrialized societies to unacceptable
levels of individualism and a breakdown of the psychological sense of
community.
The author explores anthropological, historical, philosophical,
religious, and epistemological explanations for the decline in sense of
community and the subsequent emphasis on individual goals as a source of
meaning. Implications for US society are highlighted, and possible
alternative models for healing our problems are reviewed. These models
are illustrated in the final chapters with examples of healing
communities and community-based interventions. Applications of community
psychology to community building are discussed. (PsycINFO Database

Abstract: (from the cover) Although a substantial amount of media
and professional attention has been devoted to the incidence of sexual
abuse in the population at large, the plight of those who have suffered
abuse and are seriously mentally ill has largely been ignored. Divided
into various parts, this important and distinctive work offers chapters
on theory and assessment of the abused women, including the services
that are available and recommendations for improvement; treatment,
including inpatient treatment and cognitive-behavioral approaches; and
policy and research, which deals with the prevalence and impact of
physical and emotional abuse on severely mentally ill women. There is
also a section devoted to case studies.
The material is intended for clinicians, policymakers, and researchers,
as well as the interested lay-reader. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004
