STRESS Although we all talk about stress, it often isn't clear what stress is really about. Many people consider stress to be something that happens to them, an event such as an injury or a promotion. Others think that stress is what happens to our body, mind and behaviour in response to an event (e.g. heart pounding, anxiety, or nail biting.) While stress does involve events and our response to them, these are not the most important factors. Our thoughts about the situations in which we find ourselves are the critical factor. When something happens to us, we automatically evaluate the situation mentally. We decide if it is threatening to us, how we need to deal with the situation and what skills we can use. If we decide that the demands of the situation outweigh the skills we have, then we label the situation as "stressful" and react with the classic "stress response." If we decide that our coping skills outweigh the demands of the situation, then we don...

Every new idea, somewhere along the line, will be met with either indifference or skepticism. There is an ingrained reluctance on the part of most people to accept new things. Samuel Morse had his telegraphic equipment turned down by the American Congress. The reason ? No practical value. Thomas Edison found a great deal of resistance in having his electric light bulb accepted because he had neither formal education nor scientific standing. People scoffed at the idea of being able to talk through a hollow wire, as the telephone was called in its early days. Who now can ever think of modern living without a phone ? These men, these inventors, had something in common and that was a resourcefulness, an ingenuity, and a deep faith in their own ability to reproduce their dream. They had hope and enthusiasm. They had to struggle long and hard but they never considered giving up. Try to direct your energies along lines that suit your inclinations or particular talents. Keep constantly in your...

1: What is Conduct Disorder:- Children with conduct disorder repeatedly violate the personal or property rights of others and the basic expectations of society. A diagnosis of conduct disorder is likely when symptoms continue for 6 months or longer. Conduct disorder is known as a “disruptive behaviour disorder” because of its impact on children and their families, neighbours, and schools. Another disruptive behaviour disorder, called oppositional defiant disorder, may be precursor of conduct disorder. A child is diagnosed with oppositional defiant disorder when he or she shows signs of being hostile and defiant for at least 6 months.

Oppositinal defiant disorder and conduct disorder are not co-occurring conditions. 2:0 What are the signs of conduct disorder:- · Aggressive behaviour that harms or threatens other people or animals. · De...

1:0 Emotional & Behavioural Disorders:- What is normal ? What is aberrant ? Notice the differences in definitions and notice that for each definition there is a unique way of measuring normal and aberrant. There is no single, standard way of meaning social or emotional functioning. Judgments are always required to determine whether or not behaviour is “abnormal”. What may be considered deviant behaviour in one culture may actually be the norm in another. 2:0 Seriously Emotionally Disturbed:- The term serious emotional disturbance means a condition exhibiting one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree that adversely affects educational performance. a) An inability to learn, which cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors; b) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers. c) Inappropriate types of behaviour or feelings under normal circumstances...
