Ethnic Variations in Dying, Death and Grief: Diversity in Universality (Death Education, Aging and Health Care)
by Donald P. Irish Kathleen F. Lundquist Vivian Jenkins NelsenThis volume is directed towards professionals who work in the fields concerning death and dying. These professionals must perceive the needs of people with cultural patterns which are different from the "standard and dominant" patterns in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, the book includes illustrative episodes and in-depth presentations of selected "ethnic patterns".; Each of the "ethnic chapters" is written by an author who shares the cultural traditions the chapter describes. Other chapters examine multicultural issues and provide the means for personal reflection on death and dying. There are also two bibliographic sections, one general and one geared towards children. The text is divided into three sections - Cross-Cultural and Personal perspectives, Dying, Death, and Grief Among Selected Ethnic Communities, and Reflections and Conclusions.; The book is aimed at those in the fields of clinical psychology, grief therapy, sociology, nursing, social and health care work.
Ethnicity Without Groups
by Rogers BrubakerThat ethnicity is constructed is commonplace; this volume provides new insights into how it is constructed. By shifting the analytical focus from identity to identifications, from groups as entities to group-making projects, from shared culture to categorization, from substance to process, Brubaker shows that ethnicity, race, and nation are not things in the world but perspectives on the world: ways of seeing, interpreting, and representing the social world.

Ethnicity and Empire in Kenya
by Myles OsborneThis book is about the creation and development of ethnic identity among the Kamba. Comprising approximately one-eighth of Kenya s population, the British considered the Kamba East Africa s premier "martial race" by the mid-twentieth century: a people with an apparent aptitude for soldiering. The reputation, indeed, was one that Kamba leaders used to leverage financial rewards from the colonial state. However, beneath this simplistic exterior was a maelstrom of argument and debate. Men and women, young and

Ethno-psychopharmacology: Advances in Current Practice
by Chee H. Ng Keh-Ming Lin Bruce S. Singh Edmond Y. K. ChiuNo one reacts or responds to a drug in exactly the same way, just as no two persons are exactly alike. Individual and ethnic differences in drug response have been consistently found in clinical practice. This book covers all the important factors that explain how and why drug treatments used in psychiatry affect individuals and ethnic groups differently. It will increase understanding of how biological differences interact with social, cultural and environmental factors to bring about overall effects of medications, particularly in individuals from various ethnicities. This book uniquely brings these varied aspects together to consider a holistic approach to drug therapy across diverse biological make-up and cultures. This information has direct practical use in the clinical setting.
Ethnocentrism: Integrated Perspectives
by Boris Bizumic. Ethnocentrism works to reinvigorate the study of ethnocentrism by reconceptualising ethnocentrism as a social, psychological, and attitudinal construct. Using a broad, multidisciplinary approach to ethnocentrism, the book integrates literature from disciplines such as psychology, political science, sociology, anthropology, biology, and marketing studies to create a novel reorganisation of the existing literature, its origins, and its outcomes. Empirical research throughout serves to comprehensively measure the six dimensions of ethnocentrism—devotion, group cohesion, preference, superiority, purity, and exploitativeness—and show how they factor into causes and consequences of ethnocentrism, including personality, values, morality, demographics, political ideology, social factors, prejudice, discrimination, and nationalism. Ethnocentrism is fascinating reading for scholars, researchers, and students in psychology, sociology, and political science.
Ethnocultural Diversity and the Home-to-School Link (Research on Family-School Partnerships)
by Susan M. Sheridan Christine M. McWayne Fabienne DoucetThis book explores family-school partnerships and how they can be most effectively leveraged to ensure academic success for students from socioculturally diverse backgrounds. It presents an innovative framework for building collaborative learning partnerships with culturally diverse families, for improved student achievement and more meaningful ties between schools and their communities. It promotes understanding of familial and communal knowledge and recognizing families’ resilience in addressing academic, social, and linguistic barriers. Chapters reimagine family-school partnerships within a context of shared power and authority, examine a spectrum of interventions that support culture-based modes of learning, and emphasize the potential for transformative learning to occur when students’ out-of-school lives are understood and meaningfully leveraged in school. Chapters also discuss how to foster bridges between parents and teachers, provide teachers with access to the rich cognitive and cultural resources of families, and enable all parties to begin viewing families as truly equal partners in children’s education. The book concludes with a commentary chapter that identifies necessary areas for further research.Topics featured in this volume include:The contribution of racial and ethnic socialization to family-school partnerships during early childhood.Fathers and their role in family-school partnerships.The importance of Indigenous family engagement in systems of education.Home-school partnerships and mixed-status immigrant families in the United States.Family-school partnership research with the migrant and seasonal farm working community.The role of humility in working with families across international contexts.Interventions that promote home-to-school links.Ethnocultural Diversity and the Home-to-School Link is a must-have resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in education, child and school psychology, educational policy and politics, family studies, developmental psychology, sociology of education, and anthropology.
Ethnocultural Factors in Substance Abuse Treatment
by Shulamith StraussnerThis book presents a culturally informed framework for understanding and treating substance abuse problems. From expert contributors, chapters cover specific ethnocultural groups in the United States, including Americans of African, Native American, Latino, European, Middle Eastern, and Asian descent. Authors examine how ethnocultural factors may affect a person's attitudes toward alcohol and other drugs, patterns of substance use, reasons for seeking treatment, and responsiveness to various interventions. Themes addressed include the impact of migration and acculturation issues, spiritual values and traditions, family structures, gender roles, and experiences of prejudice and discrimination. Featuring a wealth of illustrative clinical material, the book makes concrete recommendations for more competent, effective assessment and intervention. It also guides clinicians toward greater awareness of the ways their own ethnocultural backgrounds may affect their interactions with clients.
Ethnographers Before Malinowski: Pioneers of Anthropological Fieldwork, 1870-1922 (EASA Series #44)
by Frederico Delgado Rosa and Han F. VermeulenFocusing on some of the most important ethnographers in early anthropology, this volume explores twelve defining works in the foundational period from 1870 to 1922. It challenges the assumption that intensive fieldwork and monographs based on it emerged only in the twentieth century. What has been regarded as the age of armchair anthropologists was in reality an era of active ethnographic fieldworkers, including women practitioners and Indigenous experts. Their accounts have multiple layers of meaning, style, and content that deserve fresh reading. This reference work is a vital source for rewriting the history of anthropology.

Ethnographies of Social Support
by Markus Schlecker Friederike FleischerWhy do elderly choose to move away from their children so as to not receive their support? Using a number of case studies, contributors explore social support as a tool of mutuality, or maintaining relatedness and sharing feelings, rather than preventing or patching up problems. This book helps correct the dominant framework of deliberate action.
Ethnographies of Uncertainty in Africa

Ethnopsychologie: Ein Überblick über die mexikanische ethnopsychologische Forschung
by Rolando Díaz-LovingDieses Buch gibt einen Überblick über die mexikanische Ethnopsychologie, einen originellen theoretischen und methodischen Ansatz, der darauf abzielt, die auf universellen Prinzipien, Prozessen und Konstrukten basierende psychologische Wissenschaft durch wissenschaftliche Methoden zu ergänzen, um die für bestimmte kulturelle Gruppen typischen idiosynkratischen Merkmale und Verhaltensweisen zu untersuchen. Sie schlägt ein historisch-bio-psycho-sozio-kulturelles theoretisches Modell vor, um Forschungsergebnisse zu sozialen, psychologischen, kollektiven und individuellen Phänomenen zu beschreiben.Die Psychologie steht am Scheideweg einer jahrelangen Forschung, bei der der Schwerpunkt auf der internen Validität lag und kontextuelle und kulturelle Variablen kaum beachtet wurden. Es ist von grundlegender Bedeutung, den Weg der internen Validität weiterzuverfolgen und gleichzeitig Fragen der externen Validität einzubeziehen. Die Zunahme indigener Bewegungen und Daten ermöglicht eine gründliche Bewertung der Frage, inwieweit scheinbar universelle Phänomene wirklich universell sind und inwieweit sie idiosynkratische Manifestationen der Kulturen sind, in denen die Mainstream-Forschung betrieben wird.Mexikanische Ethnopsychologen verfolgen diesen Weg schon seit Jahrzehnten, seit der Pionierarbeit von Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero, aber bisher wurde nur wenig über diesen innovativen theoretischen Ansatz in englischer Sprache veröffentlicht. Ethnopsychologie - Stücke aus der mexikanischen Forschungsgalerie füllt diese Lücke, indem es der internationalen Gemeinschaft einen Überblick über die mexikanische Ethnopsychologie gibt und somit ein nützliches Instrument für Verhaltens-, Sozial- und Gesundheitswissenschaftler darstellt, die daran interessiert sind, zu verstehen, wie die Kultur sowohl kollektive als auch individuelle Verhaltensweisen prägt.
Ethnopsychology: Pieces from the Mexican Research Gallery (Latin American Voices)
by Rolando Díaz-LovingThis book presents an overview of Mexican ethnopsychology, an original theoretical and methodological approach that seeks to complement the mainstream psychological science – based on universal principles, processes and constructs – with scientific methods to study the idiosyncratic features and behaviors typical of specific cultural groups. It proposes a historic-bio-psycho-socio-cultural theoretical model to describe research findings of social, psychological, collective and individual phenomena. Psychology is at a crossroads of years of research with stress on internal validity and little attention to contextual and cultural variables. It becomes fundamental to continue on the internal validity track but at the same time incorporate external validity issues. The growth of indigenous movements and data allows for a profound evaluation of the extents to which apparent universal phenomena are truly universal, and to what extent they are idiosyncratic manifestations of the cultures where the mainstream research is conducted. Mexican ethnopsychologists have been following this path for decades, since the pioneer work of Rogelio Díaz-Guerrero, but until now little has been published in English about this innovative theoretical approach. Ethnopsychology – Pieces from the Mexican Research Gallery fills this gap by presenting the international community an overview of Mexican ethnopsychology and thus providing a useful tool to behavioral, social and health scientists interested in understanding how culture shapes both collective and individual behaviors.

Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Otariids and the Odobenid (Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Marine Mammals)
by Claudio Campagna Robert HarcourtThis book is focused on the marine mammalian groups the Otariidae and the Odobenidae, otherwise known as fur seals, sea lions and the walrus. In 30 chapters, more than 60 authors from 30 institutions and 13 nationalities, discuss a broad suite of topics from maternal care and mating behavior, through play, cognition and personality, to adaptation to life in the Anthropocene. The authors explore the behaviors that have allowed these semi-aquatic mammals to thrive in the marine realm. Many populations have recovered following historical decimation, with interesting evolutionary consequences which are explored. Detailed, selected, individual species descriptions are also provided, showcasing the behavioral diversity of this engaging, adaptive and highly successful group of marine mammals.
Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Phocids (Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Marine Mammals)
by Daniel P. Costa Elizabeth A. McHuronPhocid (or earless or true) seals are ecologically diverse, occupying habitats from the tropics to the poles in marine and freshwater and feeding on anything from tiny zooplankton to other marine mammals. There are 18 species of phocid seals, the smallest species (ringed seal) is more than 20 times smaller than the largest (southern elephant seal), with marked sexual dimorphism present in some species. This book examines the behavior, ecology, and physiology that allow phocid seals to inhabit such a wide range of habitats. The book is composed of 16 chapters written by 37 authors from 8 countries. The book first describes the general patterns of phocid behavior, followed by descriptions of what is known about well-studied species. We have taken a holistic approach, focusing not only on the behaviors themselves but also on the factors that constrain the expression of behavior and the proximate mechanisms driving behavior. In many cases, the chapters represent collaborations between well-established researchers and early-mid career individuals who bring new perspectives to help carry the field of phocid behavioral ecology well into the future.
Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Sirenia (Ethology and Behavioral Ecology of Marine Mammals)
by Helene MarshDespite their rich fossil history, there are only four surviving species of sirenians or sea cows, the only fully aquatic herbivorous mammals. The three species of manatees and the dugong live in the coastal waters rivers and lakes of more than 80 tropical and subtropical countries and are all on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This book examines sirenian conservation biology through the lens of their behavioral ecology and ethology. Sirenian feeding, diving, movement, social and reproductive behaviors are reviewed by an international team of scientists from eight countries, with an emphasis on data gathered in the past 15 years.
Etiopathogenic Theories and Models in Depression (Depression and Personality)
by Peter Fonagy Juan Pablo Jiménez Alberto BottoThis book reviews the different theories and models that seek to explain the causes of depression from different perspectives, from the molecular to the socio-cultural level. Depression is a complex psychopathological construct of high phenotypic heterogeneity, which must be understood as a phenomenon in which different explanatory levels interact with each other. However, very little is known about this interaction. The aim of this book is to provide clinical psychologists and psychiatrists a better knowledge of the interaction of different etiopathogenic levels, in order to help these professionals make better therapeutic decisions when treating depressed patients.Chapters in this volume review etiopathogenic theories and models of depression developed by different disciplines and fields of research, such as clinical psychology, psychiatry, genetics, neurobiology, psychophisiology, psychoneuroendocrinology and psychosocial studies, and examine certain conditions where the integrated consideration of different explanatory levels illuminates how depression originates and is maintained. In each chapter, authors critically review the state of the art in their field of expertise and explain the weak points of their own theories and their possible openness or connection to alternative theories or models. Etiopathogenic Theories and Models in Depression will be a valuable resource for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other health professionals working with depressed patients, as well as to researchers investigating how depression originates and is maintained, presenting an integrated perspective of high translational value for clinical practice.
Eudämonie - Vom guten, besseren, gelingenden Leben
by Gerhard DanzerDer Titel Eudämonie verspricht Schönes,Angenehmes, Erbauliches, und alles das will und soll dieses Buch auch leisten. Wervon uns wünschte sich nicht ein gutes und gelingendes Leben, ohne allerdings somir nichts, dir nichts sagen zu können, woraus denn dieses Gute, Schöne undWahre besteht. Wer von uns kennt nicht den intensiven Wunsch nach Glück undZufriedenheit, und wem begegneten bei seiner oder ihrer Suche nach Glück und Zufriedenheitaber nicht schon Hürden und Herausforderungen aller Art, die uns bisweilen rat-und hilflos haben werden lassen? Allein schon aufgrund dieser persönlichen Kalamitäten,die jeder von uns oftmals zu gewärtigen hat, scheint es gerechtfertigt, überEudämonie und damit über die Möglichkeiten eines gelingenden Lebensnachzudenken.
