“…In addition, the mediating effect of marital status on the relationship between ACEs and unemployment may reflect an increased risk for social isolation and stress among unmarried women with a history of ACEs [50][51][52], further suggesting a need for programs that target single mothers with a history of ACEs [53]. It is not clear why marital status attenuated the relationships of ACEs (except for sexual abuse) with unemployment more differently among women than that among men.…”

Conflict of interestThe authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.Part of the manuscript was presented in 28th Annual BRFSS Conference on March 19-23, 2011 in Atlanta, GA. HHS Public Access Author Manuscript Author ManuscriptAuthor Manuscript Author ManuscriptPurpose-Our study assesses the relationships between self-reported adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) (including sexual, physical, or verbal abuse, along with household dysfunction including parental separation or divorce, domestic violence, mental illness, substance abuse, or incarcerated household member) and unemployment status in five US states in 2009.Methods-We examined these relationships using the 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey data from 17,469 respondents (aged 18-64 years) who resided in five states, completed the ACE Questionnaire, and provided socio-demographic and social support information. We also assessed the mediation of these relationships by respondents' educational attainment, marital status, and social support.Results-About two-third of respondents reported having had at least one ACEs, while 15.1 % of men and 19.3 % of women reported having had ≥4 ACEs. Among both men and women, the unemployment rate in 2009 was significantly higher among those who reported having had any ACE than among those who reported no ACEs (p < 0.05). Educational attainment, marital status, and social support mediated the relationship between ACEs and unemployment, particularly among women.Conclusions-ACEs appear to be associated with increased risk for unemployment among men and women. Further studies may be needed to better understand how education, marital status, and social support mediate the association between multiple ACEs and unemployment.

“…The Internet, which allows people in different parts of the world to exchange information, is accessible everywhere at all times by modern mobile smartphones, which support a wide range of services such as text and multimedia messaging, email, short-range wireless communications (infrared, Bluetooth), business applications, gaming and photography. The use of social networking, including Facebook, Twitter and others, and new media as communication tools has rapidly risen [1][2][3][4][5][6] . Nearly everyone in all parts of business and social life are involved in the use of social networking, especially younger clients and peer groups 7 .…”

Introduction Modern media are instruments of a cross-linked social system. Because everyone is involved, media-associated psychological effects have arisen. Due to the bizarre effects of mediacaused behaviour, authors have discussed the question of the entity of possible new-and media-associated symptoms and devised a practical way to approach this question. In summary, the question that arises is whether George Orwell's literally-formulated hypotheses could clarify the phenomenon of media-associated diseases. Hypothesis Owing to the increasing use of new media tools, such as smartphones and handhelds, and social media networks, bizarre reports of mediaassociated aggressive or self-aggressive behaviour have arisen. These reports are perhaps not only a result of a permanent multitasking-use of the new media tools but also a new entity of media-associated diseases caused by the media tools themselves. Conclusion To check these implications, we propose a stepwise clinical pathway to clarify the question if the phenomenon of media-associated diseases is genuine or only an end result of the increased use of media tools.

“…Family therapists also are increasingly aware of the role of social support in maintaining healthy families. They advocate the need to include the family's social support systems in the therapeutic process (Cohen & Adler, 1986;Lewis, Lewis, Daniels, & D'Andrea, 1998). Lee, Oh, and Mountcastle (1992) stress the importance of natural support networks or kinship influences in counseling families from a non-Western background.…”

A number of writers in the field of couples and family counseling have recommended that family therapists include community in their work with families. Some writers emphasize the need to consider families within the context of their communities and to view communities as a source of support or resource for families. Others have stressed the role interdependence plays in the psychological health of families and recommend providing opportunities in which families can give to the community. This article summarizes both views of community. It suggests that family counselors' focus on families' strengths and competencies should include challenging families to get connected and invest themselves in their communities.
