Self-Help Support Groups01:28

Self-Help Support Groups

33
Self-help support groups are voluntary, community-based organizations that provide a platform for individuals with shared concerns to exchange support, insights, and practical strategies for coping with life challenges. Typically led by group members or paraprofessionals, these groups form a cornerstone of mental health care, especially in reaching populations that are underserved by traditional healthcare systems.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

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...

Self-Schemas

31.1K
In general, a schema is a mental construct consisting of a cluster or collection of related concepts (Bartlett, 1932). There are many different types of schemata, and they all have one thing in common: schemata are a method of organizing information that allows the brain to work more efficiently. When a schema is activated, the brain makes immediate assumptions about the person or object being observed.

Psychological and Sociocultural Causes of Schizophrenia

92
Schizophrenia, a complex psychiatric disorder, has been historically misunderstood. Early psychological theories attributed its origins to childhood trauma and unresponsive parenting. However, contemporary research largely rejects these notions, favoring the vulnerability-stress hypothesis. This model proposes that individuals with a genetic predisposition to schizophrenia may develop the disorder following exposure to significant environmental stressors. Notably, studies on high-risk...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Introduction to Psychological Disorders01:19

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

397
Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...

This summary is machine-generated.

Individuals who self-harmed during a suicide cluster had different characteristics but similar long-term self-harm outcomes compared to those who self-harmed prior. Long-term healthcare follow-up is crucial, especially for males.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Mental Health Research

Background:

  • Limited data exists on individuals self-harming during suicide clusters.
  • Understanding characteristics and outcomes of this group is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare individuals who self-harmed during a suicide cluster with those who self-harmed prior.
  • To evaluate 10-year self-harm and mortality outcomes for these groups.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized hospital records and linked national data for individuals self-harming during and one year before a suicide cluster.
  • Employed logistic regression to analyze 10-year self-harm and mortality outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Individuals self-harming during the cluster were less likely to have prior hospitalization or mental health history.
  • No significant differences in 10-year self-harm rates were observed between groups.
  • All-cause mortality was higher for males in the suicide cluster group.

Conclusions:

  • Long-term healthcare follow-up is essential for individuals who self-harm during suicide clusters.
  • Particular attention should be given to males due to higher mortality rates.
