Dementia-Related Agitation – Part Two: Treatment

Half-Hour Hot Topics session from June 14, 2019, with John Donaldson, D.O.

Put Anxiety Behind You

Everyone is affected by anxiety, whether their own or that of an anxious loved one, colleague, boss, or friend. According to the NIMH, nearly 20% of all American adults (40 million) experience an anxiety disorder in any given year–including panic disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and related phobias. In Put Anxiety Behind You, naturopathic doctor and licensed acupuncturist Peter Bongiorno offers a holistic approach for healing from these disorders and avoiding relapse. In a warm and compassionate tone, this book addresses causes, provides perspective, and offers natural remedies that work quickly and without any nasty side effects. Readers will learn about the many possible underlying causes for their anxiety–biochemical, physical, situational, spiritual, etc.–and will find suggestions for non-pharmaceutical remedies including specific nutrients, plant-based medicines, yoga poses, massage techniques, exercises, and acupuncture/acupressure points to try on their own for lasting relief. Bongiorno also tackles how to safely wean from anti-anxiety medication and how to supplement conventional medications with herbal and other natural remedies to increase efficacy and reduce side effects. Dr. Bongiorno recounts his own battle with anxiety and throughout the book shares his own experiences to help readers realize that anxiety can be a positive thing that becomes an inspiration and helps move us forward in a happier, calm life.

Vocational Rehabilitation

The aim of this review was to provide an evidence base for policy development on vocational rehabilitation – defined as whatever helps someone with a health problem to stay at, return to and remain at work. The focus was on adults of working age, the common health problems that account for two-thirds of long-term sickness (mild/moderate musculoskeletal, mental health and cardio-respiratory conditions) and work outcomes (staying at, returning to and remaining in work). Data from some 450 scientific reviews and reports were included in evidence tables. The review demonstrates that there is a strong scientific evidence base for many aspects of vocational rehabilitation, a good business case for it and more evidence on cost-benefits than for many health and social policy areas. Generic and condition-specific findings are reported, and practical suggestions offered for the differing types of people affected by health problems. Vocational rehabilitation should be a fundamental element of government strategy to improve the health of working age people.

How To Control Your Anxiety Before It Controls You

“No individual—not even Freud himself—has had a greater impact on modern psychotherapy.” –Psychology Today CLASSIC SELF-HELP FROM A RESPECTED PIONEER OF PSYCHOTHERAPY From social anxiety to phobias to post-traumatic stress disorder, sources of anxiety in daily life are numerous, and can have a powerful impact on your future. By following the rules of Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), created by world renowned therapist Dr. Albert Ellis, you can stop anxiety in its tracks if you will admit this important fact: Things and people do not make you anxious. You do. Your unrealistic expectations produce your needless anxiety. Yet not all anxiety is needless… Healthy anxiety can ward off dangers and make you aware of negative things that you can change. Unhealthy anxiety inhibits you from enjoying everyday activities and relationships, causes you to perform poorly, and blocks your creativity. Using the easy-to-master, proven precepts of REBT, this classic book not only helps you distinguish between healthy and unhealthy anxiety, but teaches you how to: •Understand and dispute the irrational beliefs that make you anxious •Use a variety of exercises, including rational coping self-statements, reframing, problem-solving methods, and Unconditional Self-Acceptance (USA), to control your anxiety •Apply over 200 maxims to control your anxious thinking as well as your bodily reactions to anxiety …and much more, including examples from dozens of cases Dr. Ellis treated successfully. Now you can overcome the crippling effects of anxiety—and increase your prospects for success, pleasure, and happiness at home and in the workplace.

Beta-Real Symposium

March 23, 2018 in Slocum Hall at Syracuse University. Harry der Boghosian Symposium A diverse group of seven thinkers and makers explores the philosophical turn away from singular, knowable, stable, and metaphysical absolutes, towards a multitude of experiential, ambivalent, shared realities. Such ambivalent and unstable states have come increasingly to characterize our shared reality—from sites of contested memory and amnesia, to economic and identity politics in a globalized age of displacement, to scientific and technological revolutions. The Beta-Real names a search for alternative frameworks of understanding that might allow us to confront the contradictions of our contemporary reality. How we deal with these contradictions has social, cultural, and political implications—not only for architecture, humanities, science, society, and culture at large, but also for everyday life. Participants discuss how architecture might address and negotiate these states of contradiction. Participants present their own designs and research and discuss in round-table format how they each confront and navigate the Beta-Real. Participants: Linda Zhang, Boghosian Fellow Ani Liu, Artist and speculative technologist, New York, NY Biko Mandela Gray, Assistant Professor, Department of Religion, Syracuse University Natalie Koerner,  Ph.D. candidate, Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Architecture, Copenhagen, Denmark Bryan E. Norwood, Ph.D. candidate in the history and theory of architecture, Harvard University; Visiting Assistant Professor, Mississippi State University School of Architecture Irene Chin, Curatorial Coordinator, Canadian Centre for Architecture, Montreal, Canada William Stewart, Ph.D. candidate, Princeton University Department of German Yolandé Gouws, Artist, Berlin
