Research from health psychology and medical science has shown that
a considerable number of cancer patients tend to rely on meaning
while coping with stress caused by their illness. Chapter One
examines the relationships between meaning structures embedded in
meaning in life and coping strategies, and mental adjustment among
gastrointestinal cancer patients. According to lifespan psychology,
late adulthood is a period of substantial changes in the
psychological life of human beings. Chapter Two discusses the need
to develop a dedicated psychological approach towards this age
group, where the typical factors determining their mental
functioning will be investigated and elaborated upon. Chapter Three
presents an approach to the psychoeducation of parents and
siblings, combining Aggression Replacement Training and techniques
for developing prosocial behavior. Chapter Four reviews the
literature that establishes Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD) as a major developmental precursor to Oppositional
Defiant Disorder (ODD). Chapter Five discusses the measurement
error of self-reported outcome measures in depression. Chapter Six
aims at validating the Arabian version of Beck Depression
Inventory- Fast Screen (BDI-FS-Ar) in war conditions, and
determining its psychometric properties in samples of MS patients
(as a medical population) and university students (as a non-
medical population) in Syria. Chapter Seven summarises the current
knowledge regarding structural and functional brain alterations
associated with dissociation both in patients suffering from
short-lived dissociation such as in PTSD and in chronic states as
seen in patients with dissociative disorders. This book concludes
with Chapter Eight, a discussion on the complex treatment of
dissociative disorder.
