Download or read book Surviving Dependence written by Mary Ball and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-11-25 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To date there has not been a clear look at the home care experience of older African Americans. "Surviving Dependence: Voices of African American Elders" attempts to meet the need for recording and interpreting the ordinary life of elderly African Americans on their own terms, in their own surroundings, and in so far as possible, in their own words. Ball and Whittington's research is unique in two ways: it focuses on older people who are African American and poor, and it describes the viewpoint of care recipients and their relationships with the public programs designed to help them. This book provides an in-depth view of the experiences of these seven frail elders as both care receivers and as active participants in their own care. The two primary themes the significant disabilities that often accompany old age and the tenacious will and ability to cope possessed by our informants are reflected in the title: "Surviving Dependence."
Book Synopsis Analysis of Survival Data with Dependent Censoring by : Takeshi Emura
Download or read book Analysis of Survival Data with Dependent Censoring written by Takeshi Emura and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-04-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book introduces readers to copula-based statistical methods for analyzing survival data involving dependent censoring. Primarily focusing on likelihood-based methods performed under copula models, it is the first book solely devoted to the problem of dependent censoring. The book demonstrates the advantages of the copula-based methods in the context of medical research, especially with regard to cancer patients’ survival data. Needless to say, the statistical methods presented here can also be applied to many other branches of science, especially in reliability, where survival analysis plays an important role. The book can be used as a textbook for graduate coursework or a short course aimed at (bio-) statisticians. To deepen readers’ understanding of copula-based approaches, the book provides an accessible introduction to basic survival analysis and explains the mathematical foundations of copula-based survival models.
Book Synopsis Hopeful Healing by : Mackenzie Phillips
Download or read book Hopeful Healing written by Mackenzie Phillips and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2017-02-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Actress and author of the courageous New York Times bestselling memoir High on Arrival, Mackenzie Phillips—Hollywood’s go-to person on substance abuse and a visible and outspoken advocate for addiction awareness and education—brings her knowledge and voice on the subject of recovery for the first time, and shares her experiences for those who are trying to overcome addiction. As the daughter of lead singers of the 1960s band The Mamas and The Papas, Mackenzie Phillips grew up in a dysfunctional environment and subsequently battled a near-fatal drug addiction. Now, delivered with warmth and candor, she presents the wisdom she gained from her own personal journey through addictions and her understanding of practical treatment from her work as a rehabilitation counselor. Using her own life experiences as examples of proven recovery methods, she shares the tools and holistic approaches that are available to help you on your journey to recovery. Treatment is not “one-size-fits-all” and Mackenzie encourages addicts and their support networks to research the methods that most effectively address their individual physical, mental, and spiritual wellbeing. Used by both recovering addicts and their families, Mackenzie’s book is a message of hope and reminds us that sobriety is a lifelong journey of the spirit that allows us to lift ourselves up even when we stumble and fall.

Download or read book Our Marriage written by Sue Pruett and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Karl possessed enormous stubbornness which was both an asset and a liability in his quest for sobriety." - Paul Stuenkel (former counselor at Menninger Hospital and St. Francis Recovery) "Sue Pruett is living proof that the 12 Steps of Al-Anon, Alcoholics Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and the loving people in those programs really work for healing. No matter how deep the disease has devastated a person or their family, there is hope, there is help, and there is health available." - Dr. Ronald Lee Cobb (former counselor at Valeo Mental Health Center, Menninger Hospital and current Clinical Director of "Hope, Help, Health" in Holton, KS.) "I am so honored to have known Karl and Sue. They help me remember why I have spent over 25 years working in the addiction field. Even though Karl was the identified patient, the family needed help and recovery too. I pray that their story will give others the hope and belief that recovery is possible." - Joyce Markham, LSCSW (former counselor, St. Francis Recovery) * * * As amazing as it seems, I did not know about Karl's drinking for many years as he was a master of deception. Living with the ups and downs of the roller coaster of addiction was a painful process for all of us. Even once he started facing his problem he had multiple rehab treatments and many relapses. Both family and friends urged me to give up on him thinking he was never going to embrace sobriety. Thankfully a miracle happened, and this man who stumbled so many times found his sobriety. He became the man I always believed in, and shared his lessons unselfishly with others for years. I was naïve and gullible enough to believe everything he told me. When I realized the truth I was stubborn enough never to give up. Oh by the way, I loved him with all my heart. The end was better than any fairy tale. This is our story, and this is our truth.

Download or read book Inside Dope written by Rufus Davis and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2019-06-21 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Have you ever had an in-depth talk with someone who has been addicted to drugs? Listened to them talk about the utterly inescapable, irresistible need to use drugs no matter what the consequences? Heard the depravity and self-loathing they felt while committing acts of an immoral and often violent nature in pursuit of the drugs they can't resist. Inside Dope: Surviving Addiction is author Rufus J. Davis Jr.'s searingly honest look at the world of drug addiction. It weaves a myriad of subjects related to addiction, recovery, and life together while methodically walking you through the entire cycle of addiction and recovery. Inside Dope is the story of the struggles of one addict and the people he met during his labyrinthine journeys on the roller coaster of addiction. It reveals how the families and loved ones of those at various stages of addiction and recovery are also impacted, and Davis does not shrink from providing a crystal-clear picture of what can happen to the lives of those the addict loves the most. Yet ultimately, Inside Dope is an inspiring beacon of encouragement beckoning through the fog to offer hope, and a blueprint for recovery from the pernicious blight of addiction. Rufus J. Davis Jr. was born in 1948 on the west side of Chicago, Illinois, and currently resides on the east coast. He finished high school and attended college in Chicago before entering the US Air Force as a Titan II nuclear missile launch crew member for four years before being honorably discharged in 1973. He went on to sell life insurance and own a liquor store and nightclub and an auto repair business. He retired from his full-time job as a supervisor for a national passenger railroad in 2015.
Download or read book I Should Be Dead written by Bob Beckel and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2015-05-19 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Bob Beckel, the popular co-host of "The Five" on Fox News Channel, a deeply moving, redemptive memoir about his life as a political operative and diplomat, his long struggle with alcohol and drugs, and his unlikely journey to finding faith. Growing up poor in an abusive home, Bob Beckel learned to be a survivor: to avoid conflict, mask his feelings, and to lie--all skills that served him well in Washington, where he would become the youngest-ever Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and manage Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign. But Beckel was living a double life. On January 20, 2001--George W. Bush's first Inauguration Day--he hit rock bottom, waking up in the psych ward. Written with captivating honesty, Beckel chronicles how his addictions nearly killed him until he found help in an unexpected ally, conservative Cal Thomas, who helped him find faith, get sober, and get his life back on track.

Book Synopsis Surviving Arrogance by : S. David Nathanson MD
Download or read book Surviving Arrogance written by S. David Nathanson MD and published by Dorrance Publishing. This book was released on 2020-03-09 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SURVIVING ARROGANCE By: S. David Nathonson This memoir shows how an arrogant surgeon, whose worldview was entirely dependent upon scientific dogma, was startled into a new way of thinking, a new way of understanding himself, his patients, and the world, and how he became grateful, more human, more compassionate and more creative, enhancing his ability to heal patients with potentially lethal cancers and to use his creative research thoughts to introduce new ideas into his profession. The key to his transformation was provided by a young woman, dying of a rare abdominal tumor, but who miraculously survived after aggressive Western-style treatment. She believed the most important part of her treatment and recovery was the mindset she developed from alternative non-medical treatments, and he, initially skeptical of her beliefs, discovered truths that his medical training had not taught him. The author hopes that readers will see how modern medicine can and should incorporate empathy from doctors for their patients and a belief that they are not superior, despite their more advanced education.
Book Synopsis The External Control of Organizations by : Jeffrey Pfeffer
Download or read book The External Control of Organizations written by Jeffrey Pfeffer and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2003 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores how external constraints affect organizations and provides insights for designing and managing organizations to mitigate these constraints. All organizations are dependent on the environment for their survival. It contends that it is the fact of the organization's dependence on the environment that makes the external constraint and control of organizational behaviour both possible and almost inevitable. Organizations can either try to change their environments through political means or form interorganizational relationships to control or absorb uncertainty.

Book Synopsis Surviving in Spirit by : Melanie Berliet
Download or read book Surviving in Spirit written by Melanie Berliet and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-08-14 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What prompts a young woman to abandon the safe bounds of convention for the unknown? At first, all Mélanie Berliet understood was that she'd lost her sense of what 'supposed to' meant. And that her older sister Céline was sick. While it's tough to understand what leads a person into addiction--to witness someone you love kind-of kill herself--the truth is that you can learn from it. By the time Céline died at age 30, she was Kermit The Frog green and she vomited blood more frequently than she was able to eat. In less than a decade, she had gone from summa cum laude Columbia graduate to NYU PhD student to unemployed, rambling, stumbling drunk saddled with a cirrhotic liver beyond repair. By the time Céline died, her younger sister Mélanie was no longer a Miss Goody Two Shoes from a waspy Connecticut suburb trotting down the sensible path. She was an adult who had abandoned a secure job on Wall Street to establish a career as a writer committed to exploring fascinating subcultures. As Céline's illness escalated, you see, a basic lesson crept up on Mélanie: Life is beautifully short, and fragile as hell. Life happens. Gradually, Mélanie stopped agonizing over what she was supposed to do/think/know/read/listen to/watch/feel, or who she was supposed to be/befriend/love/like/learn from. So she pitched projects that sounded crazy and/or dangerous to most, but which gave her a thrill and helped her establish a career as an immersive journalist. She grew some balls, so to speak, after freeing herself from caring about what others might think. The devastating beauty of what happened to Céline forced Mélanie to question who she is. However unwittingly, in dying, Céline empowered her younger sister to take risks--to live. This is their story.
