History Of

Jean Piaget was born on August 9, 1896 in Neuchatel, Switzerland and died September 17, 1980. He was an influential experimenter and theorist in the field of developmental psychology and in the study of human intelligence. His father was devoted to his writings of medieval literature and the history of Neuchatel. Piaget learned from his father the value of systematic work, even in small matters. His mother was very intelligent, energetic, and kind, but had a rather neurotic temperament that made family life troublesome. Her mental health influenced his studies of psychology and he became interested in psychoanalysis and pathological psychology. Piaget’s godfather was the Swiss scholar Samuel Cornut who nurtured in him an interest in philosophy and epistemology during his adolescence.

Conditional Discharge

This article examines the current legal framework and practice of the conditional discharge of mental health patients in Hong Kong under Section 42B of the Mental Health Ordinance from a human rights perspective. Using existing literature and findings from semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with medical professionals, the author argues that the current regime lacks adequate safeguards for mental health patients, both in law and in actual practice, and suffers from the absence of a clear guiding purpose. As such, the law and practice of conditional discharge would most likely infringe patients’ fundamental rights to private and family life and to liberty and personal security. The article concludes with the suggestion that an evidence-based approach is required to determine the purpose of the regime and how it may be best designed for that end.

Self Help Group

GROW is a self help group which commenced in Sydney 30 years ago to assist mental patients rehabilitate. Some fear that this is not occurring. This study aimed to assess, by questionnaires, the mental health status of GROW at-tenders in Western Australia. There was a 93% response rate with demographic variables similar to an earlier Australia-wide survey. Individual scores on the GHQ and a Work, Leisure and Family Life Questionnaire showed a higher level of dysfunction than that in a “normal” population with men, on the average, scoring higher than women. Questions on medical care indicated that between 50—70% of attenders had previously been treated for a nervous condition. It is concluded that GROW is reaching a group of people with significant mental morbidity.

The study aimed to inspect the quality of life (QOL) and its relation with cognitive flexibility among higher education students according to gender, accumulative average, and academic year. The study sample consisted of (325) students enrolled in Al-Balqa’a Applied university. Two scales are used to achieve study purposes, QOL scale and cognitive flexibility scale. The study outcomes indicated that there are statistically significant differences in QOL (quality of health and time management) among students due to the gender in favor to male students, there are no statistically significant differences in QOL (quality of social and family life, education and learning, emotional life, and mental health) among students due to gender, and there are statistically significant differences in QOL (quality of health, education and learning, emotional life, mental health, and time management) among students due to accumulative average. Furthermore, the results found that there is a positive statistically significant relationship between QOL (overall scale) and cognitive flexibility (overall scale), there is a positive statistically significant relationship between adaptive cognitive flexibility and QOL (quality of health, social and family life, education and learning, emotional life, mental health, and time management), and there is a statistically significant relationship between spontaneous cognitive flexibility and dimensions of QOL (quality of health, education and learning, mental health, and time management), while there is not a statistically significant relationship between spontaneous cognitive flexibility and dimensions of QOL (social and family life and emotional life).

First Time

The present study uses a qualitative approach to understand the impact of COVID-19 on family life. Australian parents of children aged 0-18 years were recruited via social media between April 8th and April 28th, 2020, when Australians were experiencing social distancing/isolation measures for the first time. As part of a larger survey, participants were asked to respond via an open-ended question about how COVID-19 had impacted their family. A total of 2,130 parents were included and represented a diverse range of family backgrounds. Inductive template thematic analysis was used to understand patterns of meaning across the texts. Six themes were derived from the data, including: 'Boredom, depression and suicide: A spectrum of emotion'; 'Families are missing the things that keep them healthy'; 'Changing family relationships: The push pull of intimacy'; 'The unprecedented demands of parenthood'; 'The unequal burden of COVID-19'; and 'Holding on to positivity'. Overall, the findings demonstrated a breadth of responses. Messages around loss and challenge were predominant, with many families reporting mental health difficulties and strained family relationships. However, not all families were negatively impacted by the restrictions, with some families reporting positive benefits and meaning, including opportunities for strengthening relationships, finding new hobbies, and developing positive characteristics such as appreciation, gratitude and tolerance.
