Today's youth experience a period of major physical, physiological,
psychological, and behavioral changes with changing patterns of
social interactions and relationships. The changing environments in
which adolescents live impacts their behavior, which in turn can
implicate their health and wellbeing. The changing nature of these
health problems amongst adolescents calls for new responses from
the medical sector to promote and protect their health.
Psycho-Socio-Physical Dimensions of Adolescent Health Management:
Emerging Research and Opportunities is a pivotal reference source
that provides vital research on the protection of adolescent health
and wellbeing by strategizing better healthcare initiatives and
programs, as well as assessing the impact of various healthcare
approaches in modifying the health and behavior of adolescents.
Covering topics that include growth patterns, improving mental
health, and interpersonal relationships, this book is ideally
designed for healthcare professionals, psychologists,
psychiatrists, sociologists, social workers, researchers,
policymakers, and scholars.
There is love on these pages, love for nature, the cosmos, the
body's deep knowing and students. Learning in Nature focuses on the
lives of 6 drama students who gathered weekly at a community arts
center during their childhood and adolescence. Before each play
rehearsal the students explored contemplative practices such as
meditation, yoga, breathing and visualization. After these warm-up
sessions the rehearsals were dynamic and highly creative. So, what
might happen if these students went out into nature and
experimented with the same practices? What would happen, over a
year long period, if they stopped the noise of life and just
listened, deeply, just looked and inhaled, phenomenologically?
Returning the experience of learning to nature, the book tells the
story of this group, it tells of their lives and their growing
understanding of consciousness, and does so through the complex and
rich perspectives of holistic teaching and learning.
