Socialmedicin

Det skulle have været fremtidens bydel, et sted, hvor det moderne liv kunne udfolde sig med alle dets bekvemmeligheder. I stedet blev det en ghetto med høj arbejdsløshed, kriminalitet og mange indvandrere. 1960'ernes Vollsmose begyndte som en drøm. Men i dag er den politiske debat om Vollsmose opdelt i skarpe modsætninger og præget af fjendebilleder.Virkelighedens Vollsmose er mere kompleks. Flere nuancer af livet i en ghetto formidles her af forskere fra alt fra kultur til medicin. De undersøger, om der findes en særlig Vollsmose-kultur, hvilken rolle islam spiller, og hvad ghettolisterne har betydet for områdets selvforståelse. Et spørgsmål er også, om mennesker i Vollsmose plages af andre sygdomsformer, og hvem der egentlig har ansvaret for indvandrerne, når de bliver gamle. Er det overhovedet realistisk at forestille sig, at de midler, der i disse år investeres i områdets infrastruktur, vil kunne løse Vollsmoses sociale problemer?Bogen henvender sig til socialrådgivere, lærere, pædagoger, sygeplejersker, kommunale konsulenter og andre faggrupper, der i deres daglige arbejde er i berøring med socialt udsatte boligområder. På videregående uddannelser vil studerende og undervisere ud fra den foreliggende research kunne inddrage Vollsmose som casestudie i deres projekter.

This book connects clinical sociology to the food justice movement through gardens in incarcerated settings. Situated within the larger food justice movement, the authors highlight the shortcomings of the global food system and the inequalities produced by the lack of adequate nutrition, particularly in the context of marginalized populations, such as those in carceral institutions. The book provides an up-to-date overview of horticulture programs in different incarcerated settings in the US, including prisons and community correction units, and provides in-depth discussion on innovative best-practice models. It also features a detailed analysis of an ongoing multi-site research project on gardening in incarcerated settings for women at local, state, and federal levels. Unlike other literature on prison and jail horticulture, this book contextualizes gardening in incarcerated settings with critical historical analysis, presenting the theoretical background to sociological action research projects. Serving as a starting point for establishing gardening as an evidence-based practice in prisons and jails, it is essential reading for researchers and practitioners of clinical sociology and social work, criminologists, prison and corrective institution administrators, and citizen groups interested in therapeutic gardening and alternatives to industrial prison food.

This book develops an understanding of researchers' engagements with their subjects as a generative mode of knowledge production that takes place between researchers and their research fields. It promotes the idea that rather than value neutrality, caring may be helpful when a researcher makes suggestions for improvement and constructs interventions. The authors reflect on questions such as how researchers take can sides without taking a fundamental principle of action for granted. What tensions and obstacles do researchers meet while they strive to engage carefully? How do careful engagements affect academic work and output? What inequalities are produced especially when there is funding involved in the research? The contributions discuss a range of topics including responsibility (and response-ability), collaboration, proximity, ethics, bodily entanglements, values, and affective attachments in social research. The book brings together an impressive team of international researchers from different disciplines to nuance the discussion and provides a rich collection of empirical studies from healthcare, urban planning, environmental science, participatory design, and museums, among others. This is a very topical volume for all social and behavioural scientists engaging in research, particularly those engaged in ethnographic research.

Verlust, Abschied und Trauer sind Themen, die in der heutigen Zeit gerne übergangen werden. Wenn man im Rahmen der physiotherapeutischen Arbeit regelmäßig damit konfrontiert wird, dann ist es für Lehrende als Pflicht anzusehen, diese Themen adäquat innerhalb der Ausbildung adressieren zu können. So geht es hierbei nicht nur um den Selbstschutz von Therapeut*innen, sondern auch um eine Befundung von Patient*innen auf allen Ebenen des bio-psycho-sozialen Modells der ICF und somit auch um eine zielführende Therapie. Der Großteil deutscher Lehrpläne umgeht die vermeintlich unangenehme Thematik oder spiegelt antiquierte Sichtweisen wider. Erklärtes Ziel der dreijährigen Ausbildung ist der Erwerb der beruflichen Handlungskompetenz. Zu dieser zählt der Autor unter anderem die emotionale Kompetenz. Die vorliegende Arbeit zeigt didaktische und methodische Ansätze auf, um die Themen Verlust, Abschied und Trauer im Kontext des bio-psycho-sozialen Modells in die Ausbildung zu integrieren und einen bestmöglichen Erfolg in Form einer Steigerung der emotionalen Kompetenz anzustreben.

Hauptkommissar Fokko Wattfedder hofft auf ruhige letzte Monate vor seiner anstehenden Pensionierung im kleinen norddeutschen Bundesland Freie Havenstadt. Wattfedders Entspannungsprogramm würde voll aufgehen, wäre da nicht die nervenzehrende Corona-Krise. Der Mord an der impfbegeisterten Präsidentin der Havenstädter Ärztekammer reißt den Hauptkommissar gänzlich aus seinen ruhigen Tagen. Die prominente Ärztin wird tot aufgefunden und weist zudem drei Injektionsnadeln im Schulterbereich auf. Die Indizien sprechen für einen Täter aus dem Bereich der Havenstädter Impfgegner. Wattfedder muss sich bei seinen Ermittlungen immer wieder einer Landesregierung erwehren, die sich massiv in seine Arbeit einmischt. Unterstützung erfährt er von der an seiner Seite ermittelnden jungen Oberkommissarin Paula Dombusch-Maoate, die gedanklich schnell und körperlich absolut fit ist. Zwei Eigenschaften, die Wattfedder nach einem weiteren Mordfall das Leben retten. Bis die beiden ungleichen Kollegen die Fälle aber lösen, erleben sie hautnah moralische Abgründe des Karrierismus in der Medizin und die Polarisierung der Havenstädter Gesellschaft in der Corona-Pandemie, in der mit harten Bandagen und allen Tricks für eine vermeintliche wissenschaftliche Wahrheit gefochten wird.Eine Wahrheit, die tatsächlich mehrdeutig ist!

Weight stigma is so pervasive in our culture that it is often unnoticed, along with the harm that it causes. Health care is rife with anti-fat bias and discrimination against fat people, which compromises care and influences the training of new practitioners.This book explores how this happens and how we can change it. This interdisciplinary volume is grounded in a framework that challenges the dominant discourse that health in fat individuals must be improved through weight loss. The first part explores the negative impacts of bias, discrimination, and other harms by health care providers against fat individuals. The second part addresses how we can 'fatten' pedagogy for current and future health care providers, discussing how we can address anti-fat bias in education for health professionals and how alternative frameworks, such as Health at Every Size, can be successfully incorporated into training so that health outcomes for fat people improve.Examining what works and what fails in teaching health care providers to truly care for the health of fat individuals without further stigmatizing them or harming them, this book is for scholars and practitioners with an interest in fat studies and health education from a range of backgrounds, including medicine, nursing, social work, nutrition, physiotherapy, psychology, sociology, education and gender studies.

This book focuses on the paradoxical effect on mental health of social crises. When crises occur, there's an upsurge of mental suffering due to an intensification of such social insanities as violence, inequality, and insecurity.
