Many of the social and psychological problems displayed by Vietnam veterans have been classified as “Delayed Stress Syndrome.” Stress theory does not, however, adequately account for protracted reactions after the elements responsible for the stress have been removed. Grief theory provides a model that helps explain such reactions. Grief is a very stressful reaction to any significant loss, and failure to address and resolve grief can result in delayed reactions. The Vietnam experience was replete with significant traumatic losses, many of which were not resolved at the time. It was not until separated from the service that individuals, for a number of reasons, began to experience symptoms associated with suppressed grief. A major focus of delayed reaction research and therapy should be placed on the implications of delayed grief, as well as stress.
ABSTRACT:The article describes the physical environment found in the other world or the City of Light, based on published accounts of near-death experiences (NDEs). The City of Light appears to be a world of preternatural beauty that cannot be described adequately. NDE accounts provide descrip tions of the landscape, animal life, plant life, and architecture found in the other world.
This article describes the social positions of inhabitants in the otherworldly City of Light as reported by a limited number of Mormon near death experiencers (NDErs). These social positions included men and women and various relatives and friends, in addition to authorities or administrators, genealogists, guardians, guides, homemakers, missionaries, teachers, and stu dents. These reports of social positions in the City of Light are similar to those described by other researchers, and are comparable to those found in our own world.Individuals who have been declared clinically dead because their vital functions had ceased, but who have revived and reported being aware of what happened to them during the interim, have had what is called a near-death experience (NDE). Those who have had NDEs are usually convinced that they were truly dead and that what they experi enced was very real.Although accounts of these experiences have received considerable attention from contemporary researchers, they were also the focus of writers more than 800 years ago in The Tibetan Book of the Dead Craig R.
Eight dimensions of occupational prestige are examined for their effect on the general prestige ratings accorded a set of professions in the medical situs, ranging in status from chiropractor to brain surgeon. Stepwise multiple regression analyzes the relative weight of these dimensions among the responses of 410 persons in various types of educational institution. The variable of "importance to society" appears less predictive of overall prestige than "prestige-other," a variable measuring the respondents' view of the general public's evaluation. The findings tend to suggest that public stereotypes exert a normative pressure on individual judgments, as do different linkages of respondents to the occupational structure.
