No full textO câncer de mama tem motivado pesquisas de avaliação e intervenção psicológica pelos altos índices de mulheres acometidas pela doença, por ser o segundo tipo de câncer mais comum entre as mulheres no mundo e também responsável pelo maior número de mortes. As pacientes com câncer de mama enfrentam o sofrimento psíquico com o diagnóstico e as vicissitudes do tratamento oncológico, necessitando de ajuda psicológica urgente. Definiu-se como objetivo geral desta pesquisa investigar os efeitos terapêuticos da Psicoterapia Breve Operacionalizada (PBO) no atendimento de mulheres diagnosticadas com câncer de mama e em tratamento oncológico. Como objetivos específicos este estudo pretende averiguar os efeitos da técnica da PBO nas situações-problema localizadas nos setores adaptativos e verificar a eficiência da PBO nas situações de crise adaptativa. A pesquisa foi delineada pelo método misto e as participantes foram 17 mulheres, com idade entre 30 e 65 anos, que estavam em tratamento num ambulatório de oncologia do Grande ABC Paulista. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: entrevista clínica preventiva; Escala Diagnóstica Adaptativa Operacionalizada (EDAO) para avaliação da adaptação, antes e após a intervenção psicológica breve e no follow-up; e a PBO. Os resultados mostraram na avaliação inicial que 17,5% das participantes estavam com adaptação ineficaz grave (grupo 5), 53% estavam com adaptação ineficaz severa (grupo 4), 17,5% com adaptação ineficaz moderada (grupo 3) e 13% com adaptação ineficaz leve (grupo 2), sendo que 41,2% estavam em crise adaptativa por perda; o setor Orgânico foi o mais comprometido, seguido do Afetivo-Relacional com soluções pouquíssimo adequadas. A situação-problema da maior parte das participantes estava relacionada ao câncer de mama, o que na compreensão psicodinâmica mostrou-se associada ao intenso desamparo egóico diante do adoecimento e tratamento oncológico. Na avaliação adaptativa final e follow-up, 82,4% das participantes apresentaram evolução de grupo adaptativo. Concluímos que a PBO se mostrou eficiente em todas as idades, estado civil, escolaridade, tempo de diagnóstico, fase de tratamento oncológico e tipo de cirurgia (mastectomia radical ou parcial) e a técnica da interpretação teorizada mostrou-se eficiente para a solução das situações-problema e da crise adaptativa por perda. A motivação, a aliança terapêutica e a transferência positiva foram fundamentais para as participantes no aproveitamento das sessõesBreast cancer has motivated research of evaluation and psychological intervention by the high rates of women affected by the disease, because it is the second most common cancer among women worldwide and also responsible for more deaths. Patients with breast cancer face the psychological suffering with diagnosis and the events of cancer treatment, requiring urgent psychological help. Thus this research had as a general objective investigate the therapeutic effects of Brief Psychotherapy Operationalized (PBO) in the care of women diagnosed with breast cancer and cancer treatment. And the specific objectives were to investigate the effects of PBOs technique in problem-situations located in adaptive sectors and verify the efficiency of the PBO in situations of adaptive crisis. The research was outlined by the mixed method and the participants were 17 women aged 30 to 65, who were being treated in an oncology outpatients clinic in São Paulo. The instruments used were: preventive clinical interview, Adaptative Operational Diagnostic Scale (EDAO) for evaluation of adaptation before and after the brief psychological intervention and follow-up; and the PBO. The results showed in the initial evaluation that 17,5% of participants were in ineffective adaptation serious (group 5), 53% were in ineffective adaptation severe, 17,5% ineffective adaptation moderate and 13% ineffective adaptation light, whereas 41,2% were in the adaptative crisis by loss; the Organic sector was the most committed, followed by the Affective-Relational with solutions very little adequate. The problem-situation of most participants was related to breast cancer, which in psychodynamic understanding was associated to the intense helplessness ego in the face of illness and cancer treatment. In the final adaptive evaluation and follow-up, 82,4% of participants presented evolution of adaptive group. We concluded that the PBO was efficient at all ages, marital status, scholarity, time of diagnosis, cancer treatment stage and type of surgery (radical and partial mastectomy) and the technique of interpretation theorized proved efficient for the solution of problem- situations and adaptive crisis by loss. The motivation, the therapeutic alliance and positive transference were crucial for the participants in harnessing of the session
The evolution of the concept of cultivation in modern Japan: The idea of cultivation in the 1930s
No full textThe Japanese word Kyoyo (translated as cultivation in this study) embodies a concept which has had significant influence on intellectuals and has shaped higher education in Japan from the 1910s until the present. Kyoyo (cultivation) is a common Japanese word to indicate characteristics of educated persons, but its meaning is different from education or school education in the strict sense of the word. Kyoyo (cultivation) has much to do with the substance of the effects of education or self-education such as character building.This dissertation seeks to correct a post World War II misinterpretation of Japanese intellectual history involving the idea that the concepts of cultivation (personal cultivation) or Kyoyo as articulated in the 1930s by people like Eijiro Kawai (1891-1944) were essentially identical with the Taisho Culturalism articulated in the 1910s by people like Jiro Abe (1883-1959) with a few exceptions like Jun Tosaka (1900-1945) or Kiyoshi Miki (1897-1945). This dissertation shows not only that the idea of cultivation in the 1930s is essentially different from that developed in 1910s but that the development of this idea in the 1930s took a number of different and sometimes conflicting forms. This study traced these conflicting arguments which have been almost completely neglected by contemporary intellectual historians.Based on the analysis of books and articles entitled cultivation from 1925 to 1945, this study found three dimensions of interest in the discussion of cultivation in the 1930s, namely, (a) political aspect of cultivation, (b) reconstruction of the idea of cultivation by eliminating class bias, and (c) cultivation as an insight into social connectedness to cope with the over-specialization.This study concludes that the idea of cultivation in the 1930s was vulnerable as an educational idea, but it prepared an intellectual basis for acceptance of the U.S. general education after World War II.Made available in DSpace on 2011-05-07T13:14:16Z (GMT).

<ARTICLES>A New Approach to Social Inclusion: The Case of The Big Issue Japan
No full textWhile the concept of social inclusion has been widely discussed in the academic arena, sociologists such as Ruth Lister have pointed out several associated dilemmas. Modern society is prone to value people according to their contribution to industrial society, and schemes of social inclusion often reflect this. They try to redirect excluded people back into society via some "remedy" or "treatment." This paper explores another possible means of achieving social inclusion, by examining the case of The Big Issue Japan. By tracing the transformation of the measures of social inclusion practiced for the street magazine vendors, the author tries to identify the elements needed to bring about significant changes. First, this paper reviews the literature related to social inclusion and examines the Japanese policy of Jiritsu-Shien-ho, a law aiming to enhance the self-support of homeless people, enacted by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in 2002. Second, it traces the transformations in social inclusion practiced by The Big Issue Japan by examining its magazine content and organizational outlines. Third, three of the homeless people who act as street vendors for the magazine were interviewed to investigate how their daily practices helped broaden the range of social inclusion possibilities available. In the last chapter, the author investigates how the social inclusion plan embodied by The Big Issue Japan has been transformed under the influence of the decisions made by the organization, the daily practices of the vendors themselves, and by the prevailing social structure

After winning the Golden Lion at last year\u27s Venice Film Festival, the elegiac and violent yakuza-cop film Hana-Bi (Fireworks) by Japanese director (Beat) Takeshi Kitano drew a full crowd at its preview at the Academy Theatre on a frosty morning in Pusan last October. The full house testified to the power of a Kitano film which now commands a loyal following verging on the fanatical. In fact, his films attract far more viewers than the cult films of Quentin Tarantino such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Kitano\u27s films are characterised by his uncanny ability to create, like in the eye of a storm, a quiet beginning which is suddenly whipped into a ferocious chain of events. However, they have none of the sadness of Hou Hsiao-hsien\u27s landmark gangster film,..
