»Bacite pogled na ovu mapu«, obratio se predsednik Klinton (Clinton) američkoj javnosti uoči 24. marta 1999, dok su se NATO-piloti pripremali za napad na Jugoslaviju. »Kosovo jeste malo, ali leži na glavnoj liniji rascepa između Evrope, Azije i Bliskog istoka, upravo na mestu gde se susreću islam s jedne strane, i zapadna i pravoslavna grana hrišćanstva s druge«. I onda nastavlja: »Na jugu se nalaze naši saveznici – Grčka i Turska; na severu – naši novi demokratski saveznici Centralne Evrope. A svud oko Kosova leže druge male zemlje …«.

Since Russia’s occupation of Crimea and its engagement in the conflict in Eastern Ukraine, the issue of winning people’s ‘hearts and minds’ has become one of the dominating themes in the social sciences and the general public sphere. Geopolitical and political confrontation between states and societies based on different values and principles is also reflected in the strategies and policies that governments of such countries are applying in order to win the hearts and minds of both their own citizens and the citizens of other countries. Consequently, there is no shortage of studies debating and challenging the concepts of information warfare, hybrid warfare, propaganda or soft power.

Forced migration and psychosocial health: meaning-making through autobiographical narratives in the UK

Author(s): Maria Psoinos / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

This paper explores how refugees in the UK perceive the relation between their experience of migration and their psychosocial health. Autobiographical narrative interviews were carried out with fifteen refugees residing in the UK. The findings reveal a contrast between the negative stereotypes concerning refugees’ psychosocial health and the participants’ own perceptions. Two of the three emerging narratives suggest a more balanced view of refugees’ psychosocial health, since in contrast to the stereotypes most participants did not perceive this through the lens of ‘vulnerability’. The third narrative revealed that a hostile social context can negatively shape refugees’ perceptions of their psychosocial health. This runs counter to the stereotype of refugees as being exclusively responsible for their ‘passiveness’ and therefore for the problems they face.

Rodiče a jejich (ne)dospělé děti: Jak vypadají vztahy a život v rodinách s dvacátníky?

Author(s): Petr Macek,Lucie Lomičová,Lenka Lacinová,Ivana Dvořáková,Tomotaka Umemura / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Vztahy s rodiči a vztahy v rodině mají pro mladé lidi nepochybně zásadní vliv na cestu do jejich vlastní dospělosti. Jedná se přitom jak o aktuální vztahy v období vynořující se dospělosti, tak rovněž o dlouhodobou zkušenost z předchozího vývoje. Rodiče bývají obvykle těmi nej bližšími lidmi, od nichž se už od prvních let života dítě bezděčně i záměrně učí, jak se dospělý člověk chová, jaké na sebe bere role, za co si bere zodpovědnost, jaké normy a hodnoty jsou v jeho životě důležité, co činí dospělého šťastným a spokojeným či naopak nešťastným a zklamaným. Přes zjevnou důležitost rodičů se jim jejich dospívající děti na cestě do dospělosti na určitou dobu pocitově a mentálně spíše vzdalují, ve snaze nalézt a naplnit svou novou identitu jako dospělého člověka. Tento proces vnějšího a vnitřního odpoutávání od rodičů však neznamená ztrátu vztahů, respektive snížení hodnoty či kvality vztahů s nimi.

Partnerské vztahy a vynořující se dospělost: Na zkoušku, či naostro?

Author(s): Lenka Lacinová,Tomotaka Umemura,Ondřej Bouša,Jan Širůček,Radka Neužilová Michalčáková / Language(s): Czech Publication Year: 0

Partnerské vztahy patří svým významem mezi zásadní témata řešená mladými lidmi. Důležitost tématu je nesporná, neboť partnerská zkušenost má signifikantní a dlouhodobý dopad na individuální vývoj (Gala & Kapadia, 2013). Koncept vynořující se dospělosti pokládají Meier a Allen (2008) za výhodnou perspektivu, s jejíž pomocí lze podobě a vývoji partnerských vztahů v období třetí dekády lidského života v současnosti lépe porozumět. Skutečnost, že oproti minulosti mají mladí lidé více prostoru, času a společenského souhlasu ke vstupu do vyššího počtu partnerských vztahů, může být chápána jako jeden z aspektů charakteristik vynořující se dospělosti — období zaměřeného na sebe (setf-focused) a období prohlubujícího exploraci vlastní identity (identity exploration). Zdá se tedy, že bohatší partnerské zkušenosti mohou napomáhat při exploraci emocionální a fyzické intimity.

Author(s): Ali Askerov / Language(s): English Publication Year: 0

The war in Syria has many dimensions. It is true that it is a civil war, as well as it is an international war. Yet, it is a war against terror. The citizens of the same country fight against each other, foreign forces participate in the fight to defend their own interests, while certain terrorist and counter-terrorist acts take place in the country. While the UN can’t play any effective role in managing the conflict constructively, many external and internal powers, such as Russia, Iran, the US, and Turkey, try to design a new order in the country. At the same time some illegal organizations such as PYD/PYG and ISIS try to obtain a more favorable position and legitimate their status. All the local and international actors, as well as legitimate and illegitimate players want to gain more leverage in Syria. The civilian population of the country has suffered from the very beginning of the civil war gravely. One segment of the civilians that has suffered tremendously is children.

POLITIKAI KULTUSZ ─ VEZÉRKULTUSZ

Author(s): Gábor Gyáni / Language(s): Hungarian Publication Year: 0

What kind of social or psychological context can be sketched as a background of political cults in the 20th century? The need for a leader appears only when an overwhelming desire cannot be fulfilled by ordinary means. In these periods human beings not only fire up but also personify this desire. The collective craving is realized in a leader. In the society of our days the ritualization of political life deprives the individual of his autonomy. The charisma is rooted in the relationship between the individuals and is spread by the media, as well as penetrates the masses (Hitler, Stalin).

IZAZOVI SOCIJALNOG RADNIKA U ULOGAMA SAVJETOVATELJA I PSIHOTERAPEUTA U HRVATSKOM ZDRAVSTVU

Author(s): Ivana Mošić Pražetina / Language(s): Croatian Publication Year: 0

U današnjem vremenu u kojem znamo koliko je mentalno zdravlje važno, savjetovanje ili psihoterapija nisu više strani pojmovi kao nekada, pa tako često možemo čuti da je netko nekome predložio da porazgovara s nekim stručnim ili je išao na razgovore kako bi si pomogao. Savjetovanju / psihoterapiji37 kao obliku podrške zasigurno je pridonijela i pandemija uzrokovana virusom Covid–19, koja nas je suočila s nizom novih izazova u ponašanju i razumijevanju svijeta u kojem živimo. Pandemija je učinila vidljivijima poteškoće s kojima su se pojedinci i/ili obitelji dotad suočavali, na sebi svojstven način, i kao da ih je izoštrila, imenovala i ukazala na ono što bi bilo korisno mijenjati. Pokušavajući razumjeti globalnu pandemiju, mogli smo naučiti puno toga o sebi kao i koliko je važno psihičko zdravlje. Tako u posljednje vrijeme bilježimo porast zanimanja za savjetovanje ili psihoterapiju u privatnim psihoterapijskim praksama i u javnom zdravstvenom sustavu. Iako je hrvatski zdravstveni sustav dostupan svima, u praksi bilježimo da takvu uslugu u zdravstvu ipak koriste osobe slabijeg imovinskog stanja i češće oni koje se na takav korak ne bi odlučili sami, već na primjer nakon poticaja liječnika. Pripremajući ovaj tekst razmišljala sam kako opisati rad socijalnog radnika u ulozi savjetovatelja i psihoterapeuta u zdravstvu u sadašnjim životnim i društvenim okolnostima i zaključila sam da se moj posao odvija u kontekstu puno različitih izazova, kojih ni sama ponekad nisam svjesna.

The World Health Organization defines a healthy individual as not only a state of physiological well-being without any disease or disability, but also as a holistic state of well-being that includes social and mental aspects. At this point, it can be evaluated that mental health and mental health problems are at least as crucial as illness or disability in complying with the definition of a healthy individual. Mental health problems can affect individuals at all stages of development. Theorists focus on the impact of early childhood development processes on the rest of life, with an emphasis on early childhood problems and early interventions. In this context, this study aimed to introduce the concepts of school refusal, anxiety, and emotion regulation as early-term emotional problems. The social circle of the child, whose social circle has been limited to her/his family until now, is expanding with processes such as school. This, in particular, can cause situations such as anxiety. It can be said that the emotional problems that are likely to be experienced in the pre-school period, when they expand in various ways, are brought to the reader’s attention. School refusal, an anxiety-based situation, is considered a school attendance problem that can lead to severe consequences such as school dropout. In this context, the similarity between school refusal and separation anxiety symptoms can occasionally make it difficult to recognize these two problems. However, while separation anxiety is seen with more diverse stimuli, anxiety and avoidance reactions are observed against the school- and school-related stimuli in the case of school refusal. Against these situations, it is recommended to focus on children's emotional regulation difficulties and intervene.

The present study aims to analyze the relationship between personal beliefs related to the coronavirus and vaccines against COVID-19, attitudes towards messages from official health authorities, and active information seeking about developing treatments and vaccines. For this purpose, data from a study representative of the adult population of Bulgaria and conducted in the phase of the highest morbidity were used. A significant positive correlation was found between maintaining a belief that COVID-19 poses a serious threat to human health (corresponding to the current scientific and medical opinions at the time of the study) and trust in the health information disclosed by the responsible institutions (r=0.530, p= 0.000), as well as with the active search for information on the topic (r=0.542, p=0.000). Holding a belief that the vaccines against COVID-19 represent a means of tracking and controlling the person (corresponding to popular conspiracy theories actively spread at the time of the study) was negatively correlated with trust in official health information (r=- 0.409, p=0.000) . A weak but significant negative relationship was also found with the declared information seeking about the development of treatments and vaccines (r =- 0.225, p =0.000). The results obtained and the conclusions drawn can serve in the development of communication strategies and the construction of information campaigns aimed at specific communities in future health crises.
