Relationship between level of stress and adherence to treatment.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the level of stress and adherence to treatment in type 2 diabetic patients in a public health institution in Xalapa-Veracruz, using the Perceived Stress Scale 14 and Morisky Green 8 instruments, comparing age and sex with the variables stress and adherence to treatment. This was a prospective descriptive study in which 44 persons participated voluntarily. Analysis of results. The data showed a higher level of therapeutic adherence in men and a lower or almost null level of stress; the opposite was the case in women, who showed a medium and low level of therapeutic adherence and a level of stress in the categories once in a while and often. Conclusions. The data suggest further studies on these relationships, since it seems that the female population shows low adherence to treatment and frequent levels of stress as risk factors.
Freud and the Changing World
A highly original, convivial dialogue between two leading psychoanalysts invites the reader to pause and reflect on current transformations and emotional affects in a changing world. Two analysts of different generations dialogue openly on the psychoanalytic experience, the relationship between patient and analyst, and the setting that continually comes to life in the session. Key themes discussed include social changes, the need to emotionally tune in to the distrust of today's patients, online therapies, public mental health services, and new forms of sexuality and relationships. The heart of the book deals with major changes in psychoanalysis, whereby 'how' to talk to patients and how to approach them is just as important as 'what' is said in the consulting room. The limited use of technical terms promotes the book's usability in every chapter and makes it accessible to every type of reader. Where technical terms are inescapable, a useful glossary is provided to explain these key concepts, providing clarity and understanding of the psychoanalytic field. The perfect book to illuminate the continuing contribution of psychoanalysis to the world.
Unconscious Politics
The social sciences and psychology see the origins of human experience from opposite directions: the inner world of the individual vs demands by society to conform. Politicians tend to follow the ideas of the social scientists and mostly ignore unconscious factors. Psychoanalysts, on the other hand, tend to focus on the human unconscious and mostly ignore the complexities of society, economics, and history. Yet, both disciplines are rooted in humanity. Social forces impact on individuals; and society is but the creation of individuals themselves. Thus, factors from both sources have validity and must impact on each other. Hinshelwood has turned to psychoanalysis as the subjective science, to balance the attempted objectivity of social sciences. The creation of a psychosocial model to bring the sparring disciplines together has been attempted many times on a conceptual level but Hinshelwood starts with a singularly interesting convergence at the level of observation. At a time where we face the imminent collapse of human civilisation, and possible extinction of the human species, it is important we attempt to understand the processes that have led us here. We need to find out where the forces of society and the imperatives of our individual selves converge in these particular threats. In order to regenerate some real optimism for our future, we need psychoanalysis to investigate the unconscious dynamics in where we went wrong. A predominant theme identified by Hinshelwood is the gradual, long-term dehumanisation of humans, which has led to widespread alienation from both society and the self. This takes place alongside the convergence of the value of money with the value of a person. Hinshelwood's use of the psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious mind to investigate humanity, society, and capitalism brings fresh insight to the intractable fractures we see in our social systems worldwide and hope for change.
Sexuality
Sexuality undergoes a major shift in the psychological development of adolescents, and consequently shapes their personalities. During this emotional process, social relationships, particularly with peers, self-esteem, self-assertion, friendship, love, body image, pressure from others, the development of critical thinking, respect for intimacy and modesty, a sense of humor, empathy, pleasure, knowledge of one's body, taking charge of one's sexual health, problem-solving skills and personal sensitivity acquire great importance. Educators therefore need to learn how to communicate effectively with teenagers, listen to them actively, and pay attention to all the changes they undergo as they grow towards self-realization.

Educating Exceptional Needs Youngsters.
The purpose of guiding and counseling in a school context is to assist students in understanding themselves and taking the right actions when making decisions about their education, careers, social lives, and psychological well-being. Another primary focus of guidance and counseling is the welfare of the student or kid as well as the development, maintenance, and promotion of positive social relationships within the group. Professional counseling skills and techniques, such as empathy, reassurance, encouragement, adequate cross-checking, reflection of feelings, respect for the worth and dignity of the disabled, effective verbal and nonverbal communication, and unconditional positive acceptance, are necessary to successfully achieve mental rehabilitation. These strategies will help the client embrace his or her condition, self-disclose, and gain a thorough understanding of themselves. Since inclusive education, officially known as integration, has just recently emerged, it is insufficient to meet the needs of students as long as they are not appreciated and cherished. For them to establish "a success identify," they must feel worthy and capable of achieving it with the right help. Additionally, a counselor should refrain from making the error of providing a client with false assurances, as this could cause the client to lose confidence in the counselor. The application of a team approach in guidance and counseling is another crucial aspect that merits discussion. Professionals including doctors, psychologists, social workers, dietitians, speech and hearing therapists, ophthalmologists, and others should be present in addition to the counselors.

Meaningful Renunciation
In our turbulent times, many look to the horizon, searching for a glimmer of hope. Yet there may be more than one silver lining within reach. Industry's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions could be one such ray.

Flower Therapy, with Bach Flowers
This work was based on research into the databases of the USP School of Medicine and the USP School of Psychology, as well as a review of classes already taught in the Doctorate in Psychoanalysis. The aim is to develop material to help patients treated at university outpatient clinics and at my Physiotherapy and Psychoanalysis Clinic, which focuses on problems such as weight loss difficulties and eating disorders. Research, be it for a Master's, Doctorate or Specialization, is a legacy that I have shared with my students in the subjects I teach at universities in S瓊o Paulo, Brazil. As a psychoanalyst, I can say that this support material of Dr. Edward Bach's flower essays is intended to help my patients and students achieve "inner healing" or mental, emotional and physical detoxification, in order to achieve more "deep peace" and live "in love with life". This work also expresses the efforts to demonstrate this traditional, efficient therapy, which brings practical results for patients. This is the reason for every academic health professional.

The Parkland School Shooter:
This brief explores the justification of the death penalty, using the 2018 Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, as a case study. The authors argue that when an offender's impairments severely impact their ability to make rational decisions, the death penalty is unjustified, regardless of the crime's severity. The book examines the case of Nikolas Cruz, the school shooter diagnosed with fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD), including: The nature of FASD, how it was measured, and how it manifested in Cruz. The impact of FASD on Cruz's adaptive functioning. The concept of "psychiatric overshadowing" and how it led to the oversight of Cruz's FASD and associated brain damage by many mental health experts. The broader implications of FASD, with a recommendation to expand death penalty exemptions to include disorders equivalent to intellectual disabilities (ID). By focusing on the highly controversial Cruz case, the authors--key experts from the trial--offer insights into FASD and its often-overlooked role in determining criminal responsibility and sentencing. This book is essential for forensic psychologists, psychiatrists, mental health professionals, FASD/DD specialists, researchers, and legal professionals involved in death penalty defense work.

Determinants of drug adherence response in the elderly
This study sought to understand how the elderly, in their daily lives, adopt behaviors that may lead them to (not) take their prescribed medication. An experimental task was used to scenarioize a clinical diagnosis called "heart disease", combining different levels of factors determining adherence behaviour: "severity of the clinical condition", "cost of the medication", "trust in the clinician" and "complexity of the regimen". Participants were asked to rate the degree of adherence to medication that the patient should display in each combination of factors. The sample comprised a total of 72 elderly volunteers, selected on a non-probabilistic basis, screened for dementia and depression. Repeated measures ANOVAs were used to analyze the data. The results found in the study allow health professionals and informal caregivers to be aware of the factors that influence the elderly's adherence to medication and allow professionals to create personalized protocols that make it possible to increase adherence to medication prescriptions.

The Future of Qualitative Research in Healthcare
Digital methods in healthcare research have been steadily gaining ground but, until recently, were superseded by conventional face-to-face approaches wherever possible. However, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered in-person forms of data collection largely impossible, propelling digital approaches to the forefront.

From Learning Activities to Literacy Perceptions
Entering higher education and the reality of the job market are sometimes different. The aim was to analyze the learning activities and perceptions of literacy among 1st cycle higher education students from public and private Portuguese institutions. One of the main objectives was to gather information and analyze learning activities and perceptions of literacy, namely perceptions of functional literacy, as well as specificities of new information technologies and adult learning. The main differences between Andragogy and Pedagogy, the dimensions of literacy, qualification, competence and competency are addressed, as are the main learning theories (behaviorist, constructivist, cognitive-structuralist, social learning, sociocultural and Rogerian theory), and the main authors such as Bandura, Piaget, Watson, Vygostsky, Rogers). With the ease of access to information, it is important to develop premises that lead to valuing the individual, as soon as the development of skills, abilities and behaviors is strengthened. In this way, they can become drivers of development in and for companies/organizations.

Why Read Ogden? The Importance of Thomas Ogden's Work for Contemporary Psychoanalysis
Why Read Ogden? explores the importance of Thomas Ogden's work to contemporary psychoanalysis, both as an interpreter of classic psychoanalytic thinkers and as a new and original theorist and clinician in his own right.
Wastes, aromas and odors of the technosphere
Waste is inevitably formed in the technosphere of modern technological society and affects the safety of human life, polluting and replacing the natural environment. A determining place among many factors characterizing wastes is occupied by their odors, which can unite everything that a human being sees, hears, feels, remembers, desires and aspires to. Nature has created them, somehow the only thing for which man has not even managed to define the standard of its measurement, although he feels its existence and uses it to assess the risks and his safety in the technosphere. The author hopes that the presented interdisciplinary review will serve the quality of the system of solidarity environmental education and quantitative assessment of technosphere safety.
Psychoanalysis and Introduction to Psychology
This specialization work in the area of Psychoanalysis complements what is stated in Research and Clinical Practice in Psychoanalysis: many of the disorders or illnesses treated by Psychoanalysis come from behavioral origins, where the individual is unable to interact well with their environment, feeling lost in relationships with other individuals. The research refers to the need to maintain the fidelity and grounding of Psychoanalysis studies, with the aim of developing support and aid material so that Individuals understand themselves better, understand their world better, and know how to interact and communicate with it. Introduction to Psychology aims to give patients and students a broader understanding of human dramas. As far as Psychoanalysis in the Elderly is concerned, the analyst's desire, as a place of address, for constituting himself as a Subject Supposed to Know, is what will differentiate his care from others, since, regardless of the physical condition of the analysand, the analyst will bet on him as a subject capable of relating better to himself and to the Other, no matter how long he has left to live.
The Future of Qualitative Research in Healthcare
Digital methods in healthcare research have been steadily gaining ground but, until recently, were superseded by conventional face-to-face approaches wherever possible. However, the COVID-19 pandemic rendered in-person forms of data collection largely impossible, propelling digital approaches to the forefront. This book offers a digital lens in the participatory perspective of ethnography, a qualitative methodology. A series of chapters from internationally distinguished and rising authors present digital platforms and techniques and apply these to a wide range of healthcare studies. The authors highlight the different aspects of digital research approaches as well as reflecting on and proffering digital approaches to qualitative research for the future. Will these new digital health techniques be embraced, or will researchers be keen to revert to the traditional methods? With its unique approach, this is an invaluable resource for both prospective and experienced qualitative researchers in a broad array of medical and health disciplines.
