PREPARATION OF FUTURE TEACHERS FOR THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A SAFE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR PARTICIPANTS IN THE EDUCATIONAL PROCES

The article examines ways to increase the awareness of future teachers in the issues of safe behavior of participants in the educational process in educational institutions and their ability to predict and choose adequate methods of action in case of dangerous situations. It has been established that the analysis of normative legal acts enables future teachers to plan activities related to the implementation of quality education, prevention and timely corrections in educational activities in cases of emergency situations. It is well-founded that the subject of educational classes in professionally oriented disciplines (lectures, practical, individual, seminar classes and consultations) should provide students with knowledge of emotional, psychophysiological, spiritual and moral health of participants in the educational process. The necessity of forming mutual personal feelings towards students in future teachers in combination with acquiring the ability to fulfill regulatory and legal requirements regarding their own professional and pedagogical activity has been updated. It is recommended that, during the preparation of future teachers to create a safe educational environment in classes in professionally oriented disciplines, consider the issue of mastering the pedagogical impact of stressful tactics on the child's health, methods of creating psycho-emotional comfort of students in learning, prevention of neuroses, peculiarities of communication with children with neuropsychological disorders, overcoming the child's anxiety, tactics of psychological and pedagogical support, methods and techniques of psychological and pedagogical correction of the conditions of participants in the educational process. Training of future teachers to organize the safe life of students in educational institutions is connected with the creation of a motivational and innovative educational environment by acquiring knowledge on the formation of safe behavior of students by means of pedagogical innovations (studying in small groups, working in pairs, etc.) and intensifying the accumulation of knowledge by students.

“Making a mess in the mud”: the discovery of toddlers’ special needs by child scientists in the 1930s in the Netherlands

In this article, the author discusses plans that were launched at three consecutive conferences on care for toddlers between 1929 and 1938 in the Netherlands. These plans and their realisation are evaluated in terms of what was seen as the missing link in the supply of institutional care for young children. The author identifies the professional forces and their concerns, as well as their chosen techniques and cognitive forms. The “discovery” of toddlers’ “special” needs was initially inspired by paediatricians’ concern about the relatively high mortality and morbidity rates of children aged one to six. An age-specific hygienic shield was created, which produced graphs and charts and consequently, the normal child. During the 1930s, when toddlers’ physical health improved rapidly, a shift toward mental health and development became manifest. Developmentalism and psychoanalysis inspired a concern for this age as one of crisis and risk. Therefore, prevention of neuroses was now presented as a major challenge for professionals in toddlers’ welfare centres, health colonies, and nursery schools, who were supposed to best understand young children’s needs. One of the consequences was that, unlike in the post-war years, experts became convinced that small children were better off in institutions than at home.

Sensitivity Training during Pregnancy: Key to Bonding and Possible Prevention of Neurosis of the Child?

The prime importance of the quality of mother-child bonding has been known for many years among psychotherapists; however, this is not common knowledge for most mothers-to-be. Thus a pregnant client is a chance and a challenge for a body psychotherapist: 1.We can assist the mother-to-be to form a deep bonding with the baby before birth already by educating her about the neurobiological changes occurring during pregnancy and the expected degree of development of the infant at birth. 2. We can offer special awareness exercises (described here in detail) which improve perception of all senses (seeing, hearing, touching and smelling) and thus sharpen the mother-to-be’s sensitivity for her environment, especially for the signals the baby will send out. The work described here aims to help the pregnant client to tune into the body language of the baby as a prerequisite for a deep and loving bonding. It could also be a preventive measure for a later neurosis of the child. Two short case vignettes will illustrate the approach.

Rooming-in: redesigning hospitals and motherhood in cold war America.

Rooming-in, a model of maternity care that placed newborns in their mothers' rooms instead of central nurseries, appeared in American hospitals in the early 1940s, advocated by physicians and mothers as an antidote to the emotional sterility of the modern maternity ward. It has been cited as a successful illustration of health-care reform, in which practitioners and patients redesigned postpartum care to make it more fulfilling. However, factors other than visionary leadership contributed to the establishment and popularity of rooming-in. First, wartime changes in the medical care of postpartum patients, including antibiotic therapy and early ambulation, paved the way for a system in which mothers played an active role. Second, rooming-in effectively solved two hospital crises: a nursing shortage, and an epidemic of infections in newborn nurseries. Finally, it achieved notoriety far beyond its actual prevalence because it resonated with trends in mass culture: a wariness of technology, interest in the causes and prevention of neurosis, and the "feminine mystique." This article suggests that changes in health care depend less on reasoned planning than on coincidental events inside and outside the hospital.

Pathopsychological assessment of the nosological independence of neuroses

In clinical neurology today, there is a revision of the principal positions, which casts doubt on the nosological essence of neuroses. The issues of differential diagnostic criteria of neuroses, boundaries of neuroses and neurotic personality development, accentuation of character traits and decompensation of psychopathies remain rather debatable in psychiatry up to now. Questions of clinical differentiation of psychologically adequate, preclinical, neurotic and psychopathic reactions to frustration are poorly studied. As a consequence, the importance of pathopsychological studies of borderline neuropsychiatric disorders, the study of patients' self-esteem and self-awareness, and the analysis of compensation mechanisms and protective measures that contribute to the prevention of neurosis is growing.

Deconditioning and ad hoc uses of relaxation: An overview

Muscle relaxation is one of the most effective means at our disposal for diminishing emotional stress. In the context of behavior therapy it has featured in systematic programs to overcome anxiety response habits. Its original usage by Jacobson was an ad hoc measure for meeting tensions as they arose, as well as for ongoing tensions. This usage also often results in diminution of anxiety response habits—inadvertently. It has lately been found of value in the treatment of migraine and tension headaches, insomnia and essential hypertension, and also in at least some cases of Type A personality. There is reason to think that in normal populations relaxation training may have a role in the prevention of neuroses.

The natural history of preventive medicine, or breaking the chains of causation.

In the past the natural history of disease has shown chains of causation. With the acute diseases, these chains have usually been quite short and easily broken. With the chronic diseases of today, they are far longer and more complicated. Often they involve patterns of behaviour extending over half a lifetime. These patterns are, in turn, determined partly by genetic make-up, partly by family and social environment. The study of these chains necessitated both observation and social survey methods. The breaking of the chains entails the use of propaganda or mass education. By far the most effective educational agent is the spoken word, coming from someone held in respect. The most effective persuader is fear. In social medicine we can seldom plan large-scale experiments. We have to seize such opportunities as life presents. One such opportunity was the creation of the new towns after the war. It was found that good social planning yielded good results in terms of social satisfaction, and infant-mortality and psychosis rates. The prevention of neurosis is a more difficult matter. In administration and in politics resistance to learning from the experience of others is strong. The preventive medicine of the future will necessitate the teaching of common sense applied to human behaviour to extremely resistant audiences.

Nellis2stated that no layman he had ever questioned had noticed a relationship between emotional stress and heart action; even medical students failed to appreciate it. Yet this relationship is so familiar to physicians that they forget its clinical implications. These statements immediately make it clear that a doctor often has to look beyond the cardiovascular system into the psyche in order...Bibliography1. OILLE JA: Cardiac neurosis, Canad. Med. Assoc.

The cause and prevention of neuroses.

Every and every human being is continually striving to answer questions, to overcome difficulties, to solve riddles, and to develop himself in some degree toward a self-satisfying completion, the full achievement of his life purpose. Man has three great problems to solve. The first is the ambition to mix with and be accepted by others. The second problem is that of occupation, and the third that of sex. Neuroses arise from a failure in any one of these three problems, due to physical deficiencies, the spoiled child reaction, or the unwanted child reaction. Symptoms are depression, agoraphobia, marked solitude, constant striving for superiority through pettiness, and marked subjective disturbances. In the treatment it is of the greatest importance to find out what mistake has been made in the past, to show what has been to blame for the neurotic attitude to life, and to expose the connections between the attitude and the symptoms.
