Suche in Datenbanken:

Nach psychologischer Fachliteratur von kubanischen Autoren und Forschungsgruppen kann in den beiden Datenbanken "PsycLit" und "Psyndex" gesucht werden, wenn man das Stichwort "Cuba" bzw. "Kuba" eingibt. Die Suche läßt sich durch die Eingabe eines weiteren thematischen Stichwortes verfeinern. Beide Datenbanken sind z.B. an der Universitätsbibliothek Freiburg zugänglich. Entsprechende Recherchemöglichkeiten dürfte es aber auch an anderen Universitätsbibliotheken geben. Medizinische Literatur findet sich in der Datenbank Medline. Die kubanische Regierung unterhält ein eigenes Infonetz zu medizinischen Themen. Es ist international zugänglich unter der Adresse: www.sld.cu.

Weiter unten auf dieser Seite sind die Ergebnisse wiedergegeben, die sich im Februar 2000 bei der Recherche in der Datenbank "PsycLit" mit dem Stichwort "Cuba" ergaben. Es fanden sich 141 Artikelhinweise aus den Jahren 1987 bis 1999. Aufgelistet werden sowohl kubanische Autoren, als auch Autoren, die über Cuba schrieben. Die genannten Aufsätze und Bücher sind in der Regel über das Fernleihsystem der deutschen Universitätsbibliotheken zu bestellen (oder kostenpflichtig über den Dokumentenlierferdienst der deutschen Universitätsbibliotheken www.subito-doc.de). Beachten Sie bitte, daß nicht alle kubanischen Fachzeitschriften Eingang in die Datenbank "PsycLit" fanden. Die Revista del Hospital Psiquiatrico de la Habana hat z.B. nur bis zum Jahre 1990 Eingang gefunden. Die Revista Cubana de Psicología ist überhaupt nicht verzeichnet

Es werden Sponsoren gesucht, damit diese Zeitschriften für eine ausländische Bibliothek bestellt werden können, so daß deren Artikel Aufnahme in die genannten Datenbanken finden und einem internationalen Publikum zugänglich werden.

Sollten Sie nicht über einen Zugang zu den genannten Datenbanken verfügen, kann "Psychologie in Cuba" die Recherche gegen einen Unkostenbeitrag für Sie durchführen. Nähere Informationen: hier

  Mental health in Cuba.

Abstract
  This article describes the significant developments in
  Cuba's mental health care since Fidel Castro's 1959
  revolution, with a focus on community services and research initiatives in
  Havana. It is noted that Cuba has been put under tremendous
  pressure since 1992, declared by the government as a "Special Period," with
  the reduction of favorable trading links with the former Soviet Union and the
  intensification of US sanctions. Although there has been limited opportunity
  for growth in the health sector in recent years, Cuba is
  justifiably proud that not one day care center, school, or hospital has been
  closed during the "Special Period." It is suggested that
  Cuba has suffered for too long from academic isolation, but
  this has not diminished the people's ability to make use of their own
  intellectual resources, often to remarkably good effect. Neither has it
  weakened their resolve to use their resources in the fairest way possible for
  the benefit of all members of society. ((c) 1999 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Describes and evaluates the situation of the Cuban family
  and Cuban women during the colonial and republican periods.
  The article focuses on those internal processes within Cuban
  society which gave shape and form to the family and prescribed the roles to
  be played by women (and men) in both the society at large and in the family.
  The author examines the impact of the 1959 revolution on the traditional
  family structure and the new challenges for women in the building of a
  socialist society. The final section of the article addresses some of the
  theoretical issues involved in the debate over socialism and feminism, and
  the extent to which the Cuban experience can contribute to a
  fuller understanding of those issues. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Examines the AIDS crisis from the perspectives of critical and feminist
  medical anthropology, discussing what an appropriate public response to the
  AIDS epidemic might be and on what grounds the global AIDS epidemic was
  responded to as a unique case of public health catastrophe. Focusing on
  Brazil, areas addressed include (1) AIDS, the state, and individual rights;
  (2) AIDS and sexual citizenship; (3) AIDS, sexuality, and the Brazilian
  social image; (4) women; (5) street kids; (6) transvestites; and (7) AIDS
  discourse and activism. The Cuban AIDS experience is also
  considered, including the social body in Cuba, the
  Cuban AIDS program, and AIDS sanatoriums. The recovery of
  personal space and privacy and of a discourse on the social body are seen as
  missing links in contemporary discourse on AIDS. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  (from the jacket) Cuba is the only country in the world that
  quarantines people who test positive for the HIV virus. Marvin Leiner
  analyzes the practice of quarantine in the context of the
  Cuban Revolution. He also focuses on efforts by
  Cuban educators to introduce sex education in the schools
  and to change sexist and homophobic attitudes, discussing their successes and
  failures . . . and examining the explicit and implicit linkages between
  machismo and homophobia.
  Drawing on interviews, diaries, and techniques of participant observation,
  Dr. Leiner shows how the HIV sanitorium and earlier oppressive treatment of
  gays and lesbians serve as a barometer for contemporary
  Cuban society. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

  Behavior & Social Issues. Vol 2(2), Fal-Win 1992, 99-118.

Abstract
  Analyzes the Cuban government's attempt to develop the
  ultimate humanitarian society, to keep sight of the well-being of humanity as
  their ultimate goal, and to arrange cultural contingencies that generate
  behavior compatible with that goal. It is argued that (1) such a humanitarian
  society will not evolve randomly without the intervention of cultural
  designers and (2) natural contingencies often generate behavior incompatible
  with the well-being of humanity, so the development of a humanitarian society
  requires the design and implementation of performance-management
  contingencies. Also, a society geared to the well-being of humanity must not
  be confused with a society free of aversive control. Finally, to use money as
  an incentive in addition to moral incentives does not necessarily counteract
  the development of a humanitarian society; the important issue is the
  contingent relationship between performance and incentives. ((c) 1997

Abstract
  Indicates that Cuba's response to the HIV epidemic has been
  to conduct mass testing of the population to ascertain seroprevalence, to
  enforce mandatory relative quarantine of persons testing positive, and to
  implement educational interventions using media and school-based programs.
  Data show a low seroprevalence rate without evidence of a widespread
  epidemic. Possible advantages of Cuba's policy include rapid
  reduction in the risk of HIV transmission by infected blood products and
  limitation of new infections. Possible disadvantages include the restriction
  of individual freedom. The issue of personal responsibility for the
  behavioral change vs government imposed regulations is at the core of
  Cuba's HIV policy. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  (from the publicity materials) This 220-page book documents and analyzes
  twenty-nine cases of psychiatric abuse of Cuban political
  dissidents. The dissidents were interned in Cuban
  psychiatric hospitals for a variety of political offenses, such as attempts
  of illegal exit and distributing enemy propaganda and were subjected to
  electroshocks and/or psychotropic drug treatments.
  Some dissidents were diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic, others were
  diagnosed as apathetic to socialism and still others were diagnosed as sane
  and yet were forcibly subjected to electroconvulsive and drug therapies. The
  book identifies the hospitals where the abuse took place, including the
  Havana Psychiatric Hospital, and the individual doctors responsible. It
  concludes that the evidence points to a pattern of systematic abuse of
  dissidents during the process of interrogation or as punishment for
  anti-government political behavior while in prison. This political abuse of
  psychiatry was managed by the Cuban State Security agencies,
  which are in control of the forensic wards at the psychiatric hospitals. The
  book includes an introduction by Vladimir Bukovsky contrasting Soviet and
  Cuban misuse of psychiatry for political purposes. ((c) 1997

Abstract
  Conducted a 2.5-mo field study of health psychology in Cuba.
  Health psychology is an integrated part of the health system, both on an
  administrative and practical level. Cuba has developed a
  role for psychologists within the health field that has adapted to its
  situation as a poor and socialistic country. Priority is given to preventive
  and community-based psychology within primary health care facilities.
  Psychologists in primary health care serve a composite client group, with
  high priority given to pregnant women and to children. Psychologists deal
  with physical and mental health problems and focus on individuals as
  biopsychosocial units. Their responsibilities include health promotion,
  disease prevention, consultation and treatment, rehabilitation, research, and
  education. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract
  Applies nonimmediacy scoring by M. Wiener and A. Mehrabian (1968), designed
  to measure psychological distance and positive or negative affect from
  nonobvious aspects of verbal discourse, to references made by Castro
  concerning Guevara before and after the latter's departure. The scores
  indicate a significant increase in Castro's negativity and distance toward
  Guevara across the 2 time periods. It appears that Guevara's leaving was
  associated with a decline in Castro's feelings of personal warmth toward him,
  although this was consistently denied in the overt content of relevant
  statements. Nonimmediacy scoring is introduced as a useful technique for
  archival content analysis. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

  suppression of the individual in Cuban education, as charged
  by bourgeois theoreticians, are disclaimed. Study instruments were the Iatrov
  Logical Square (a Soviet questionnaire) and an essay-type question on each
  S's feelings toward individual group members and the group as a whole. Study
  results show a definite correlation between socially positive qualities and
  an S's popularity, although an explicit causal correlation was not

Abstract
  Studied the health situations of 65 Cuban families living
  within the area served by a teaching hospital. The families included a total
  population of 446 (138 individuals under 15 yrs of age and 308 adults)
  suffering from such chronic diseases as hypertension, asthma, diabetes
  mellitus, and ischemic heart disease. The study also disclosed poor
  hygienic-sanitary conditions. Psychosocial pathogenic factors (e.g., poor
  education, unemployment, underemployment, crowding, promiscuity, lack of
  participation in social and cultural activities and sports, poor or
  nonexistent reading habits) were also identified by the researchers, who were
  being trained as future family doctors. (English abstract) ((c) 1997

Abstract
  Studied the evaluations performed by forensic psychiatrists on defendants in
  Cuban courts of law during the period April 1982^December
  1983 to establish their competence to stand trial, or lack thereof, for
  offenses ranging from robbery to murder and attempts at political
  assassination. The author emphasizes the importance of psychiatric
  evaluations of defendants in a socialist country, where attitudes toward
  crime are uncompromising once culpability is clearly established. Psychiatric
  evaluations are correlated with psychopathology diagnoses and crimes
  perpetrated by the defendants. Results include predominance of male
  offenders, unemployed Ss, urban residents, and poorly educated Ss (elementary
  level only). The majority of defendants found incompetent to stand trial were
  diagnosed as schizophrenics; Ss with diagnoses of mild mental retardation
  accounted for 24.2% of defendants accorded extenuating circumstances.

  and Rich have not unconsciously imposed a North American understanding on the
  situation. It is suggested that to move forward in a scholarly dialog on
  Cuban homosexuality, a richer understanding of Latin folk
  categories of sexuality and knowledge of the nature of revolutionary and

Abstract
  Explores the role of community health psychologists in Cuba
  and identifies 5 areas of activity: educational interventions, counseling and
  psychotherapy, evaluation and consultation, training of health personnel, and
  research. Psychologists work within a highly organized system of health care
  in addition to schools and workplaces. An essential factor in the success of
  the psychologist's work within the Cuban system of health
  care is the development and training of the psychometric technician. The
  preventive role of psychologists is emphasized. A basic condition for the
  independent development of psychology in Cuba has been the
  institutional support received at a national level. Future directions for
  theoretical development, empirical validation, and implementation of
  psychotherapeutic techniques are discussed. (5 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO,

Abstract
  Discusses psychological factors involved in the rehabilitation process of the
  chronic mental patient, based on work experience in Cuba.
  These include the patient, his/her learning capacity, interests, fitness for
  the job, characteristics and requirements of the job, and the rehabilitation
  process itself. The psychological techniques used and the procedure followed
  for initial assessment, job placement, and longitudinal assessment of the
  patient are also presented. The different groups of activities and levels of
  rehabilitation used at the Psychiatric Hospital of Habana and some statistics
  on mental patients' activities in Cuba are discussed. It is
  concluded that the evolution of the rehabilitation process can be seen
  through the concrete behaviors of the patient during occupational therapy.
  The performance of a socially useful activity contributes to the patient's
  socialization back into the community. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Reviews the literature on community psychology in Cuba
  published between 1976 and 1982 in the  Journal of the Psychiatric Hospital
  of Habana  and limited other sources. The review indicates that much research
  in community psychology is being carried out in Cuba. The
  review covers social issues, such as drug and alcohol use, aging, education,
  traffic problems, adolescence, and juvenile delinquency. In the health area,
  the extensive work published on psychosocial factors in disease, and the
  physician^patient relationship is reviewed, as well as some work done on
  health services evaluation. In the mental health area, researchers have
  explored psychosocial aspects of mental illness and emphasized therapeutic
  communities and psychoballet. It is concluded that research in community
  psychology has focused more on problems than solutions, although this is less
  true of the mental health area than that of social issues. (68 ref) ((c) 1997

Abstract
  Notes that the 25 yrs of revolution in Cuba have brought
  about great changes in the health care system. The health status of the
  population has been transformed from that of a developing country to that
  approximating the developed countries. The delivery of primary care at the
  community level has evolved over the past 15 yrs as a result of critical
  evaluations of the new implementations. The community polyclinic has been the
  basis for all health planning since 1975. This model has the health of the
  community as its main concern and the mechanism for involving the community
  in health care decisions has been established. The history of the community
  polyclinic and the evolution of the guidelines by which it functions are
  reviewed. It is concluded that in practice, many problems persist, and the
  strategy for resolution of current conflicts will provide for interesting
  developments in the future. (24 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Examines the Puerto Rican and Cuban public health and mental
  health systems and their respective health profiles, emphasizing the role of
  psychosocial stressors. Data are derived from official government documents,
  scientific literature, newspaper articles, and discussions with Puerto Rican
  and Cuban health personnel. The Cuban
  health system was found to be better organized and more capable of providing
  equitable health care and encouraging community participation in health care
  delivery. However, the Puerto Rican public health system is in crisis and in
  the process of turning over the administration of its facilities to the
  private medical sector. Although both countries share health profiles similar
  to those of developed nations, differences in morbidity and mortality
  patterns, and the seemingly epidemic incidence of mental disorders in Puerto
  Rico suggest dissimilarities between their respective psychosocial stressors.
  Differences in the quality of public health care and in the health profiles
  seem mostly attributable to the divergent political and economic organization
  and priorities of both countries. (75 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Derives descriptive data on the development and practice of psychology and
  related human services in Cuba from interviews held at a
  medical school, at a local community health clinic, at a residential
  treatment facility and at 1 of the 2 universities in Cuba
  offering a degree program in psychology. The interviews revealed a network of
  interrelationships between: (1) work performance and a complex material and
  moral incentive system, where the workers played an active role in evaluating
  and modulating the system; (2) the health delivery system and its targeted
  community members, where services are adapted to the needs of the community;
  and (3) individuals and their neighborhoods, where local organizations are
  the mechanisms for community participation. It is concluded that a prime
  characteristic of Cuban society is to change the very nature
  of the relationships between people and their social institutions. (6 ref)

Abstract
  Presents the 1st part of a 2-part literature review of psychiatric social
  epidemiology in Cuba that focuses on contextual and
  developmental issues. The present author first lays the groundwork for the
  analysis of psychiatric social epidemiology by (1) drawing in broad strokes
  the developmental phases followed by the Cuban Revolution,
  as the contextual base on which to build this analysis; (2) exploring the
  development of the field of psychiatric epidemiology in the island; (3)
  delineating the development of human and material resources in health and
  mental health; (4) reviewing issues of access to care by traditionally
  underserved populations; (5) exploring gradual changes in the character of
  mental health care as reflected by service utilization patterns; and (6)
  discussing changes in the attitude of the population toward mental health and
  illness, as reflected by pathways to care. It is concluded that this review
  provides evidence of a rapid development and deployment of resources in this
  domain and of their egalitarian distribution and general accessibility to the
  population. (29 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract
  In the 2nd part of a 2-part review, the present author explores social
  epidemiological issues in the morbidity of psychiatric dysfunction and in the
  mortality associated with socioenvironmental stress in Cuba.
  This 2nd article builds on a review (see PA, Vol 73:6927) of the contribution
  of factors such as social status and social integration or marginality in a
  revolutionary society. The epidemiology of heart disease, cirrhosis of the
  liver, accidents, homicide, and suicide mortality are explored. A pattern of
  increasing epidemiological costs appears to be the result of the island's
  process of social and economic development. These costs are contrasted to
  marked benefits in several domains, which appear to respond to economic
  democracy, and to effective planning and policy development. Further study of
  the epidemiology of suicide is recommended. (79 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO,

Abstract
  Discusses the history of psychology in Cuba and some of the
  sociohistorical and political forces impacting on the development of
  psychology. Three periods are identified: the colonial (1492-2898), the
  prerevolutionary (1898-2958), and the revolutionary (1959^present). Each
  period represents a major shift in the socioeconomic and political context
  shaping the development of psychology. Key figures from each period are
  described in their historical context. Emphasis is given to foci and
  organizational growth of psychology during the revolutionary period. It is
  concluded that psychology in Cuba is a pragmatic,
  action-oriented discipline that focuses on social and community needs in
  health and education. While historically influenced by the North American and
  Soviet models, Cuba has reached beyond both to produce a
  psychology rooted in contemporary Cuban sociocultural
  reality. (58 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

  interview concerning work satisfaction, drinking history, and general
  information. Ss' medical history and work attendance data were obtained from
  company records. Company policy allows workers to consume alcoholic beverages
  at any time during the workday. 81% of the Ss reported drinking during the
  workday, and there was a positive correlation between number of years working
  in the brewery and the number of bottles of beer drunk daily. Most workers
  started drinking during the 2nd half of the workday, and consumed 1-6 bottles
  of beer per day. No relationship between drinking behavior and health status
  was established. (English abstract) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

  Investigated attitudes of Cuban secondary school and

  developed by the Faculty of Psychology of the Central University of Villa
  Clara, Cuba, was employed in a series of studies. Ss were
  recruited from various schools. Each S was presented with 16 typical social
  situations, with different roles modeled in each situation. The S's task was
  to rank order the role models in terms of his/her identification with the
  role models. The 16 social situations yield 4 measures each of work
  attitudes, study attitudes, social attitudes, and attitudes toward group
  and/or personal property. The discriminative capacity, reliability, and
  validity of the methods were investigated, and the utility of the method was
  confirmed. (English abstract) (17 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights

Abstract
  Investigated sexual education of medical students at the Faculty of Medical
  Sciences in Pinar del Rio, Cuba, in terms of moral education
  and the communist educational program. The investigation consisted of 3
  studies: (1) the communist educational program for the year 1983-2984 was
  analyzed, (2) questionnaires concerning sexual education were completed by 17
  faculty members, and (3) surveys concerning sexual knowledge were completed
  by 365 medical students. Results show that: (1) the Ss' curriculum encourages
  sexual knowledge to a greater degree than do curricula at other
  Cuban centers of higher education; (2) sexual education, as
  a component of ethical and moral education, is insufficiently emphasized in
  the communist educational program; (3) Ss' parents serve as sexual role
  models, confidants, and information sources; and (4) that conditions at the
  Pinar del Rio facility optimally facilitate the moral sexual education of the
  future health professional's communist personality. (English abstract) ((c)

Abstract
  Investigated the psychosocial environment in homes of 18 adolescent mothers
  (younger than 18 yrs old) who gave birth in the Chiqui Gomez Policlinic,
  Santa Clara, Cuba, during 1982. Of the 655 live births at
  that facility during 1982, 90 of the mothers were under the age of 18 yrs.
  The 18 Ss studied represent a simple random sample of the 90 adolescent
  mothers. The Ss' homes were visited by members of a multidisciplinary team
  (consisting of a psychologist, pediatrician, gynecologist-obstetrician, and
  internist), and the psychosocial environment was assessed via direct
  observation and analysis of interview data. Results indicate that the Ss
  frequently ended their formal education during pregnancy and they neither
  attended school nor sought employment after the birth of the child. These Ss
  appeared to be cut off from their age peers. The Ss frequently delegated
  childrearing responsibilities to grandmothers and relatives, who became
  surrogate parents. The Ss generally accepted maternity passively, without
  outward concern for their lack of financial or emotional independence.

  3,093 Ss (9.5% of the total population 16 yrs of age and older) was
  interviewed regarding use of addictive substances. More males than females
  used these substances. 33 and 32.3% of tobacco and coffee users,
  respectively, reported experiencing withdrawal symptoms when they stopped
  using these substances. 2.43% of alcohol users and 1.7% of the probabilistic
  sample were found to be abusing alcohol; these figures are much lower than
  those reported in other countries. It is recommended that addictive habits in
  other health districts be examined and that the risks of excessive tobacco,
  coffee, and alcohol use be emphasized in health education programs. (English

Abstract
  Investigated psychiatric morbidity and service utilization via structured
  interviews with a probability sample of households in a health catchment area
  in Havana, Cuba. Data concerning 3,093 household members 16
  yrs old or older were obtained via 901 structured interviews. In addition to
  service utilization data, information was obtained concerning alcohol and
  drug consumption, demographic factors, and psychiatric diagnoses received.
  Approximately 3.5% of the sample had received previous psychiatric assistance
  from physicians, psychiatrists, or psychiatric institutions. Females had
  somewhat higher utilization rates than did males. The incidence of alcoholism
  was lower than that reported in epidemiologic studies in other countries.
  Diazepam was the most commonly used psychiatric drug. However, diazepam use
  was considerably lower than that reported in a 1972 Cuban
  epidemiologic study. The need for alcohol education and crisis intervention
  services is emphasized. (English abstract) (32 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO,

  21-23 yrs, 26 females aged 18-20 yrs) and 40 Cuban students
  (17 males and 15 females aged 15-27 yrs, 3 males and 5 females aged 18-20
  yrs), who were training to be health technicians. Significant differences in
  various aspects of figure drawing were found between males and females and
  between Cuban and Mozambique Ss. Variations in the treatment
  of male and female figures and in the representation of clothing are
  attributed to differences in psychosocial characteristics of
  Cuban and Mozambique Ss, which is due to their cultural and
  political identities. (English abstract) (4 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  Describes the patient population of a Cuban polyclinic and
  the tasks of the social workers at that clinic. The outpatient population
  consisted of 103.8 mentally or physically handicapped patients and their
  families per 10,000 population. These handicaps interfered with the work
  lives of 21.6% of families and with the leisure activities of 22.9%. Of the
  identified patients, 24.3% had mobility problems, 6.7% had hearing deficits,
  and 20.3% had vision problems. Only 35.7% of the eligible families had used
  the home visits by social workers offered by the polyclinic, although 57.1%
  knew about them. Implications for social worker training and continuing
  education activities are discussed. (13 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  Collected interview data from women seeking abortions at a
  Cuban pediatric hospital. In 1979, 1,332 Ss were
  interviewed, while in 1980 there were 1,213 applicants. There were no
  differences in the ages, marital status, number of children, number of
  previous abortions or miscarriages, or contraceptive usage between these 2
  samples. However, there was a difference in the reasons for seeking the
  abortion. In 1979, type of housing was less common as a given reason, while
  family reasons and interference with schooling were more common. The typical
  S seeking an abortion was between the ages of 21 and 30 yrs and was married
  or cohabiting. Use of birth control increased with the age of the S, and
  family reasons for the abortions were more important for the older women.

Abstract
  Since the Cuban revolution, numerous contraceptive methods
  have become available that have put an end to the exclusive use of abortion.
  In Granma province, the 1979 birth rate was 18.5 per 1,000, as compared to a
  national average of 14.7 per 1000. To learn about knowledge of contraception,
  most common methods used, and social factors in pregnancy, a sample of 120
  women completed a questionnaire. The most common age of respondents was 21-30
  yrs (46.6%), and 48.3% of the sample had only completed elementary school.
  The majority (60.8%) were housewives. 53 Ss (44.2%) had used abortion as a
  method of birth control, but the most common method was the intrauterine
  device (77.5%). The most common reason given for obtaining an abortion was
  interference of the pregnancy in the S's regular routine (25%), while 24.2%
  said they had as many children as they wanted. It is recommended that sex
  education of youth be improved, as well as that for the general public and
  for educators. (5 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

Abstract
  Asserts that behavior modification therapy (BMT) is a whole that consists of
  methodological principles and techniques that modify undesirable behavior.
  BMT is derived from general learning theory and clinical experimentation. The
  concept of BMT is currently approaching what is scientifically and
  empirically correct, integrating the affective and cognitive into the notion
  of behavior. It is argued that it is also necessary to integrate the concept
  of conscience as a determinant of behavior, a possibility that has been
  avoided by occidental contemporary psychologists and behaviorists. The
  present BMT models are unlike the original concepts of behaviorism. BMT can
  be applied to many goals in changing or resolving undesirable behaviors. In
  the macrosocial sphere, some actual behavioral ecologies and technologies are
  extensions of BMT goals. The methodological principles and concrete
  procedures of BMT apply to actual rehabilitation models and also, in a
  general way, to the whole sociomedical field. (14 ref) ((c) 1997

Abstract
  Describes the historical, psychocultural, and forensic aspects of Santeria, a
  religious cult of African origin. Santeria is a blend of African religion and
  Christianity. It consists of rituals that form a continuum from simple rites
  to complex ceremonials with anticipated verbal and gestural magico-religious
  behavior. The rituals consist of symbolic nonverbal behavior, possession
  states, glossolalia, and therapeutics (magical healing). A hallmark of this
  religion is the depiction of African deities as facsimiles of Christian
  saints, an acculturative process of the African slaves known as syncretism.
  The religion is popular among Latins in general and Cubans
  in particular and is now widely practiced by the
  Cuban-American population of South Florida. With the
  immigrant Cuban population, Santeria has become pivotal as a
  functional strategy of conflict resolution at both individual and
  interpersonal levels. The system provides symbolic rituals that lead to
  intrapsychic and social stability and allow the expression of various
  personality traits. (13 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

  once or twice a week, including narrations, plays, meetings with significant
  people, games, and drawing. Intragroup and intergroup quantitative analyses
  indicated significantly more highly developed attitudes in the experimental
  group than in control Ss. The experimental group demonstrated a more
  humanistic style of interpersonal communication, more generosity and
  cooperation, greater responsibility, more significant relationships with
  individuals and groups, and greater interest in surroundings and
  relationships with country and the world. The effectiveness of formative
  methods is emphasized. (English abstract) (8 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  Discusses the psychosexual development of adolescents and the occurrence of
  related problems in Cuba. Adolescence is a difficult period
  marked by accelerated physical and sexual development. Menstruation and
  spermatogenesis begin to occur, and secondary sexual characteristics appear.
  Sexual relations between adolescents are considered premature because the
  individuals involved are not yet psychologically and emotionally mature or
  able to bear full responsibility for their actions. Problems related to
  adolescent sexuality that are occurring with increasing frequency in
  Cuba include teenage pregnancy, abortions, and marriages and
  the emotional, financial, and psychosocial difficulties that ensue. Sex
  education in the schools needs to be improved and made more widely available.

  14 children living in a home for the physically handicapped were compared
  with 14 similar children living at home; all Ss were 12-24 yrs old.
  Pre-assessment showed that none of the children were receiving regular

  institutionalized Ss were all receiving direct systematic help while there
  was no change for the children who remained at home. It is recommended that
  (a) a more detailed study be done of the function of the social workers with
  respect to their reports of improvements in patients with physical and mental
  handicaps; (b) for those children who cannot be institutionalized, a social
  worker be available for them, regular meetings be held with their parents,

Abstract
  Reasoned that the Castro government in Cuba represents an
  important negative reference group for Cuban Americans in
  the US. Exp I asked 43 Cuban-American undergraduates to give
  their opinions on issues surrounding the liberalization of relations between
  Cuba and the US. As expected, opinions were more opposed to
  such liberalization when an ostensible representative of the Castro
  government was quoted as favoring it than when no mention was made of the
  Castro government. Exps II and III (137 Ss) tested the prediction that
  utilization of negative reference groups would be mediated by dispositional
  self-consciousness. In Exp II, Ss gave their opinions after favorable
  opinions had been attributed to officials of the Castro government.
  Opposition among these Ss was positively correlated with their public
  self-consciousness but was unrelated to private self-consciousness. Exp III
  replicated the effect of public self-consciousness when the reference group
  was salient but yielded an ambiguous effect for an experimental manipulation
  of self-focus. Findings appear to confirm the role of dispositional
  self-consciousness in reference-group behavior. Moreover, they appear to
  suggest that Ss used their opposition to the negative reference group for
  self-presentational purposes rather than for self-definitional purposes. (21

Abstract
  Although the educational level and mass media have improved since the
  Cuban Revolution, the family is still the primary means of
  social and cultural education. However, some families persist in "errors,"
  which prevent their children's normal entry into the socialist society,
  including inconsistency of reward and punishment, permissiveness,
  overprotection, rejection, and isolation. To assess the frequency of these
  errors, 743 clients of an infant and adolescent mental health team were
  diagnosed and the results tabulated. 69% were from families that were rated
  as inadequate; of these, 47.1% were inconsistent, 21.8% permissive, 16.6%
  overprotective, and the remainder rejecting or isolating. Of those children
  with behavior problems, 88.5% were from inadequate families, with 50.4% of
  nonpsychotic organic origin, 84.8% of neurosis, 57.4% of mental retardation,
  and 100% of social maladjustment. Epidemiological research is needed with
  respect to inadequate family situations and their relation to psychiatric
  diagnoses. (11 ref) ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all rights reserved)

  support, instability in behavior and mood, need to love and be loved, and
  preoccupation with and curiosity about sex. Parents of adolescents must set
  an example, show affection, provide emotional stability, help adolescents
  cope with social situations, avoid emotional scenes, and exert affectionate
  and meaningful discipline. These guidelines are provided because in
  prerevolutionary Cuba only moneyed youths had an
  adolescence, while now all children experience this stage of development. (7

  improved well-being. There is a strong awareness that problems must be
  resolved in a Cuban context, that imported ideologies must

  the evolving Cuban model of psychological health promotion.

Abstract
  Presents a short account of mental health treatment in Havana. There is a
  measure of preventive psychiatry at the community outreach level; psychiatric
  and psychological care is provided through emergency and zone hospitals that
  focus on the detection of incipient cases of emotional disturbance so that
  treatment can begin before the patient deteriorates or requires transfer to a
  larger hospital. Also discussed is ergotherapy, a part of the rehabilitation
  program at the Havana Psychiatric Hospital, which is aimed at restoring the
  patient's ability to function in society. Ergotherapy activities are
  diversified (e.g., music, horticulture, manufacturing, carpentry, home
  economics); work includes intra- or extra-hospital activities in community
  environments close to the patient's family. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  Many Cubans have a negative attitude toward the dramatic
  theater, due to its upper-class appeal before the revolution; this prevents
  the theater from being an effective instrument of social change. Since people
  avoid contact with things they dislike, there is little chance of changing
  this attitude directly, and indirect methods such as publicity and
  neighborhood theater will have to be used. Psychological testing should be
  done to determine the most effective approaches. ((c) 1997 APA/PsycINFO, all

Abstract
  Discusses the present state of psychology's technical vocabulary, and the
  contributions that a proposed thesaurus of psychological terms could make to
  remedy the situation. Scientific work depends considerably on the precision
  of the language that it uses. The growth of psychology has been obstructed by
  the multiplicity of hostile philosophical schools, currents, and viewpoints
  that have evolved. These diverse schools do not have a common language with
  which to communicate. This deficiency is especially deplorable, since the
  object of psychological study is the individual. In 1975, work was begun on
  the First Cuban Glossary of Psychological Terms. It is
  argued, however, that rather than glossaries and dictionaries, what is really
  needed is a thesaurus that would set precise definitions for technical terms.
  An authoritative work of this kind would help to standardize terminology.

Abstract
  Describes the training of psychiatrists and the system of psychiatric care in
  today's Cuba. Prevention and social psychiatry are
  emphasized. At present, geriatric problems do not exist and alcoholism and
  drug addiction are rare, but the suicide rate has been growing.
  Cuban psychiatrists are primarily oriented to American
  psychiatric philosophy and treatment patterns, but also have good contacts

Abstract
  Discusses the effects on schools in Cuba caused by
  transition from the capitalist system to a socialist society. Traditional
  schools inherited from the past coexist with those based on an entirely new
  concept: the principle of unifying the acquisition of knowledge and
  productive work. It is noted that the problems inherent in the traditional
  school, particularly the differences between the professional ambitions of
  the younger generation and the needs of the economy, have been tackled by
  short term measures such as mass media propaganda and specialized technical
  study groups. However, the Cubans are convinced that only a
  complete restructuring of the educational system can really solve these
  problems. Thus with the transformations of Cuban society new
  forms of education are emerging, such as schools in the field and university
  faculties in industries, to combine study and production. ((c) 1997
