Psychosurgery

2.4K
Psychosurgery, the surgical alteration or permanent removal of brain tissue to alleviate severe psychological conditions, stands as one of the most radical and controversial treatments in the history of mental health care. Its development and application have evolved significantly, marked by dramatic shifts in scientific understanding and ethical perspectives.

Impression Management Techniques I: Managing Appearances

286
Appearance is a multidimensional aspect of self-presentation that encompasses observable attributes such as clothing, grooming, speech, and nonverbal behavior. These elements are often strategically managed to align with socially constructed expectations in different settings. For instance, individuals tailor their appearance during job interviews, social gatherings, or athletic events to meet the perceived norms of those environments.Contextual Adaptation and Social SignalsThe research...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

45.2K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Dark Triad and Person Perception01:29

Dark Triad and Person Perception

448
Person perception is influenced by both external behaviors and the observer’s internal characteristics, including personality traits. Individuals with dark personality traits, comprising psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and narcissism — collectively known as the dark triad – exhibit manipulative and exploitative tendencies in social contexts. These traits affect how they perceive others and how they are perceived.The Role of Dark Personality Traits in Person PerceptionBlack et...

Plastic Behavior01:21

Plastic Behavior

779
A material's elastic behavior is characterized by the disappearance of stress once the load is removed, allowing the material to return to its original state. However, when stress surpasses the yield point, yielding commences, marking the onset of plastic deformation or permanent set. This change from elastic to plastic behavior is influenced by the peak stress value and the duration before the load is removed. An intriguing observation occurs when a specimen is loaded, unloaded, and...

Summary

Public perception of plastic surgeons is limited, with many recognizing their expertise in cosmetic procedures but fewer in reconstructive surgery. This study surveyed New York City residents on plastic surgery expertise.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Specialties
  • Public Health
  • Surgical Procedures

Background:

  • Public understanding of plastic surgeons' roles may be incomplete.
  • Plastic surgery encompasses a broad range of reconstructive and cosmetic procedures.
  • Assessing public perception is crucial for defining the specialty's scope.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate public perception of plastic surgeons' expertise in various clinical scenarios.
  • To identify areas where public recognition of plastic surgery aligns with established competencies.
  • To understand public awareness in a major urban setting.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous survey was distributed across New York City boroughs.
  • 1000 respondents identified perceived expert surgeons for 12 clinical issues.
  • The clinical issues represented core competencies defined by surgical review boards.

Main Results:

  • Plastic surgeons were most recognized for rhinoplasty (61%), blepharoplasty (71%), rhytidectomy (85%), and breast augmentation (96%).
  • Expertise in breast reconstruction (87%) and cleft lip/palate surgery (46%) was recognized.
  • Public perception identified plastic surgeons as experts in only 8 of 12 evaluated domains.

Conclusions:

  • Public awareness of plastic surgeons' expertise is incomplete.
  • Key reconstructive and complex surgical areas are not widely recognized as plastic surgery.
  • Further public education on the breadth of plastic surgery is warranted.
