Recent years have seen a rise in the medicalization of treatments for erectile dysfunction (ED). While there has been a divide between the medical and psychological communities, some have called for a more collaborative relationship. Little research has been done on the collaboration between medical professionals and psychotherapists in treating ED. This study seeks to increase current knowledge about medical professionals’ referral practices and communication post-referral. An online survey was developed and distributed to the members of the Sexual Medicine Society of North America (SMSNA) (N = 541). Survey questions inquired as to the factors that increased participants’ willingness to refer ED patients, the form of communication participants currently desire to have with psychotherapists and the participants’ desired level of communication with psychotherapists to whom they might refer. Less than ten percent of the medical professionals invited to participate in the study completed the survey (n=50). Those who did complete the survey were primarily male, specialized in urology and practiced in the U.S. Almost half the respondents were employed in an academic setting while just over half of respondents worked in hospital-based, group, or solo practices. Just over half of the survey participants practiced in urban areas. Although the number of medical professionals who completed the survey was small, findings indicated that those who completed a sexual medicine fellowship and who had a larger percentage of their patient population being seen for ED were more likely to refer patients to psychotherapists. Participants who have referred ED patients to psychotherapists reported little-to-no communication between them and the psychotherapists to whom they refer. The study participants expressed a desire to refer patients to psychotherapists who are experienced in working with both sexual and couples issues. Questions about the desires and experiences of medical professionals who have not referred to psychotherapists were not able to be answered because of the limited number of these individuals in the data set. Although the number of participants who completed the survey limits the generalizability of the data, this study demonstrates that most medical professionals who responded to the survey are willing to refer ED patients to psychotherapists.

Full textSuid-Afrika word as ’n gewelddadige samelewing beskou, met ’n gemiddelde nasionale moordsyfer wat beduidend hoër is as in die res van die wêreld. Die familie is kernsisteem binne die breëre gemeenskap en word tradisioneel as veilige sisteem beskou. Die realiteit is egter dat ’n groot persentasie moorde in Suid-Afrika deur ’n kennis, familielid of lid van ’n huishouding gepleeg word. Die doel van hierdie navorsing was om die kind as oortreder van familiemoord beter te verstaan. Die navorser wou bepaal watter individuele en sistemiese faktore aanleiding gee tot familiemoord en of steekproef-spesifieke profiel vir sodanige kinders saamgestel kon word. ’n Kwalitatiewe navorsingsontwerp is gevolg en kwalitatiewe inhoudsontleding is vir data-analise gebruik. ’n Fenomenologiese benadering is gebruik om die verskynsel sonder moontlike vooropgestelde persoonlike of teoretiese idees te ondersoek. Die dokumente van nege gevalle is in-diepte bestudeer en onderhoude is met kundiges gevoer. Die hoofbevindinge was dat die kind wat familiemoord pleeg dikwels swak of geen band met die primêre sorggewer gehad het. Die swak band asook die akkumulatiewe individuele en omgewingstressors het gelei tot gevoelens en persepsies van verwerping. Geborge huislike omstandighede het dikwels ontbreek. In sekere gevalle het die kinders van ontvlugting gebruik gemaak, wat onder andere dwelm- en alkoholmisbruik ingesluit het. Die kind se emosionele behoeftes is in die meerderheid gevalle grotendeels misken en verlies is in verskeie gevalle nie toereikend hanteer nie. Gesinswanfunksionering, wat mishandeling en ekstreme ouerskapstyle ingesluit het, was opvallend. Akkumulatiewe stressors het dikwels gevoelens van angs en onderliggende aggressie tot gevolg gehad. Interpersoonlike verhoudingsprobleme was opmerklik. Kenmerke van gedragsafwyking was in twee gevalle opgemerk. Die akkumulatiewe individuele en sistemiese gebeure het oor jare plaasgevind en veroorsaak dat die kind uiteindelik familiemoord gepleeg het. In die geval waar ’n kind familiemoord pleeg is daar dikwels net een slagoffer, maar in ses van die gevalle wat in die studie ondersoek word, was daar meer as een slagoffer.

Full textTenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is used worldwide for the treatment of HIV-1 infection. Tenofovir has been found to be associated with declines in renal function and chronic kidney disease in HIV-infected patients. There are limited data on how soon after antiretroviral therapy (ART) initiation any loss of renal function can be detected. We studied a cohort of HIV-infected adults initiating TDF-containing ART regimens at the Hannan Crusaid Antiretroviral Treatment Centre in Gugulethu. The centre provides ART to the residents of the Gugulethu and Nyanga districts situated on the outskirts of Cape Town. We described the prevalence and incidence of renal dysfunction in this cohort, the patterns of change in their renal function in the first 12 months on therapy and factors associated with renal dysfunction. We also examined the diagnostic value of early serum creatinine tests in identifying incident renal dysfunction after 12 months.

Full textO fenómeno do incesto entre irmãos não é algo desconhecido, pelo contrário, é um tema bastante recorrente na mitologia, na literatura (científica e de ficção), na história e, principalmente, na vida das pessoas. No entanto, apesar de conhecido, este fenómeno, não tem sido muito estudado. Ainda assim, muitos autores consideram que este tipo de abuso pode ser bastante prejudicial, não só para a vítima, como para o agressor e, quando conhecido, até para os restantes elementos familiares, uma vez que este tipo de abuso ocorre no seio da família. Neste sentido, alguns dos estudos efectuados sugerem que existe uma relação entre a disfuncionalidade familiar e este tipo de abuso incestuoso. É preciso ter em consideração que existem várias formas de abuso incestuoso, nomeadamente entre pai-filha, entre mãe-filho, entre outros. No entanto, o presente trabalho só irá abordar as questões relacionadas com o abuso incestuoso que ocorre entre irmãos. Assim, o objectivo do presente estudo é explorar a relação existente entre disfuncionalidade familiar e abuso incestuoso entre irmãos na(s) família(s) em estudo, sendo que esta disfuncionalidade será averiguada através da estrutura familiar, tendo por base a teoria de Minuchin (1988). Para tal efeito, serão considerados apenas famílias em que tenha ocorrido abuso incestuoso entre irmãos, em que o agressor tenha até 16 anos de idade e a vítima, no máximo, 14 anos, na altura em que este aconteceu. Relativamente à definição de irmãos, será tida em conta a de Bass et al. (2006), uma vez que inclui irmãos biológicos e não biológicos, mas que estejam ligados à criança por laços de afinidade pois, tal como afirmam Caffaro e Conn-Caffaro (1998), a violência tem mecanismos semelhantes quando ocorre nestas relações.
ABSTRACT: The phenomenon of sibling incest in not unknown, on the contrary, it’s a very recurrent subject in mythology, literature (scientific and fiction), in history and, most importantly, in people’s lives. However, even though it’s well known, there haven’t been many studies developed in this phenomenon. Still, many authors consider that this type of abuse can be highly prejudicial, not only for the victim, but also for the abuser and, when known, even to other family members, given that this type of abuse occurs in the family. In this sense, some of the studies suggest that there is a relationship between family dysfunction and this type of incestuous abuse. It’s necessary to take in to account that there are many forms of incestuous abuse, such as father-daughter, mother-son, amongst others. However, the present paper will only consider the matters related to the incestuous abuse that occurs between siblings. So, the purpose of the present study is to explore the existing relationship between family dysfunction and sibling incest in the family(ies) in this study, being that this dysfunction will be verified through family structure, based on Minuchin’s (1988) theory. For that effect, there will be considered only families in which sibling incest occurred, and in which the abuser was 16 years old and the victim 14 years old, maximum, at the time of the abuse. In what concern the definition of sibling, there will be taken into account the one from Bass et al. (2006), because it includes biological and non-biological siblings, but that are connected to the child by kinship for, as Caffaro and Conn-Caffaro (1998) say, violence has similar mechanisms when it occurs in these relationships.

Full textAddiction to Heroin poses serious problems, given its spread among the youth and its relationship to self-destruction, transgression and crime.For years, and despite their conceptual differences, psychoanalytic and systemic perspectives concur on the importance of family related factors in young people who develop addictive behaviors to substances, including Heroin.Addiction to Heroin appears to be prevalent in dysfunctional families where parenting roles are destructive, the maternal functions being deficient or excessive and the paternal functions showing major failures, as well as familial and parental conflicts that can be traced to causes that are beyond the present and rooted in transgenerational transmission.Addictive behaviors seen under the generational and transgenerational angles have not been studied in the Lebanese experience. It seems to us that the Lebanese youth addicted to Heroin are trying to resolve, through their drug intake, a dependency that is connected to a pervasive past and is reflective of an unresolved family history which repeats itself from one generation to another.Thereby discerning the problematics of Heroin addiction in Lebanon, examining the central role of early relationships experienced by heroin addicts, and highlighting the generational characteristics of the family genogram can provide important clues in understanding the addiction’s pathologies and also allow a better targeting of therapeutic interventions

Full textThe purpose of the study was to describe the abused children´s experience of everyday life and encounters in hospital care. The method used was qualitative narrative analysis. Five autobiographic pathografies were analyzed. Results: in the analysis emerged five themes: ”the dysfunctional family”, ”lie as a strategy”, ”the lonely struggle of the child”, ”to be invisible in care situations” and ”from the abyss to sanctuary”. The discussion was based on a synthesis of the Human-to-Human Relationship Model by Travelbee and the findings, i e the five themes. The conclusion made it clear that the abused children´s experiences of everyday life and encounters in hospital care mean, that the child entirely must give up its rights to - not only mutual, but also simply human - meetings in the home and in hospital care, that the child then becomes entirely cut off from other people, at home, in hospital care, in school - abandoned to inhuman suffering with meanings of pain, shame, guilt, betrayal, that the child, despite the total defeat, had an inner force, a wish for a better future, which is made concrete through the child's sanctuary, the hospital, where the child gather courage, trust and hope.

Full textEste artículo analiza algunos factores sociales que han incrementado las transformaciones en la familia, aumentando el riesgo en los hijos de bajo rendimiento, desadaptación, y problemas emocionales y conductuales, los cuales pueden dar lugar al abandono de las aulas. Entre estos factores se encuentran la mayor supervivencia de los individuos, una mayor movilidad geográfica, la inclusión de la mujer en el campo laboral, así como el incremento de familias uniparentales y los niveles de pobreza. Se propone la implementación en las escuelas de mecanismos protectores para los alumnos provenientes de familias disfuncionales, utilizando para ello talleres de desarrollo personal que propicien el autoconocimiento y el de los demás, la interacción humana y la buena relación con los familiares.
