“…All 3 factors were more important among women than men and might explain the higher morbidity rates in women. Myers et al (1975) analysed their community data further and noted a similar finding, that those with high social integration were often well despite the presence of life event stress while low integration often predicted the occurrence of symptoms in the absence of stress. Life event stress may be best regarded as but one of many social and environmental factors non-specifically related to formal psychiatric illness.…”

“…Aux États-Unis, l'intervention de crise visait à ses débuts à combler l'inadéquation et l'inefficacité des services psychiatriques traditionnels auprès des populations les plus démunies et les plus délaissées par les services de santé privé et public 17 , objectif atteint selon Gottschalk et al (1967) et Swartzburg et Schwartz (1976). Mais pour Luborsky étal., (1971,1975) et Myers et al (1975), ce type d'intervention est plus appropriée pour des gens scolarisés et mieux nantis. Enfin, un troisième groupe de chercheurs 18 croit que ce facteur n'exerce pas une influence significative compte tenu du poids statistique de ce facteur dans les résultats obtenus dans leurs recherches et analyses.…”

Cet aricle est une revue de la littérature extensive sur l'intervention de crise. Les auteurs explorent les fondements théoriques de cette approche et les évaluent grâce à une analyse approfondie des recherches sur ce sujet. Plus précisément, ils énoncent une définition de la crise, les classifient, explicitent son processus et décrivent comment se réalise une intervention en situation de crise. Dans la deuxième partie, ils examinent le phénomène de Ia dépendance et les facteurs déterminants au cours de ce processus. Ensuite, ils scrutent le postulat des facteurs précipitants pour déboucher, suite à sa critique, sur la nécessité de considérer les facteurs médiateurs comme variables explicatives de la résolution de la crise.This article is an extensive review of literature on crisis intervention. The authors explore the theoretical grounds of this approach and rate them by means of a thorough analysis of the research done on the subject. More precisely they elaborate a definition of a crisis, provide a classification of same, explain its process and describe how the intervention develops in a crisis situation. They examine, in the second part, the dependence phenomenon, and the determining factors encountered. Then, they study the notion of the triggering factors that lead them to the necessity of taking into account the mediatory factors and explanatory variables in the resolution of the crisis

“…These life events might include financial pressures, a death in the family or an unexpected pregnancy; each of these represents a significant change in stability. Myers, Lindenthal, and Pepper (1975) conducted a longitudinal interview study of adults and identified a relationship between life events and psychiatric symptoms.…”

Physician assistants are medical professionals educated in an allopathic medical education model in the United States. In order to successfully matriculate, educate and graduate safe and effective health care providers in a 2-year time frame, the 4-year M.D. curriculum has been abbreviated and condensed leading to an intense, full-time cohort educational experience that taxes physician assistant students to their limits. The demanding workload can lead to fluctuations in mood and morale along with increased levels of psychological distress. This dissertation explores this under examined student experience by first introducing the physician assistant profession and the process by which it educates its members. The cohort patterns of mood and morale observed by faculty during the educational process are described using the conceptual and theoretical models of transformative learning, transition, change and cross-cultural adaptation as explanations for the observed experience. A retrospective naturalistic research paradigm utilizing focus groups elucidated the student perspective of the cohort medical education experience over the course of the didactic curriculum, and study results highlight a threestage experience consistent with stages-of-change theories from multiple disciplines. In addition, a prominent pattern of emotional subthemes provide a window into the psychological significance of this transformative experience. A better understanding of the effects of this academically rigorous and psychologically challenging medical education process on physician assistant students clarifies opportunities for amelioration of student challenges while simultaneously enhancing the ultimate goal of developing safe and effective health care providers. To my esteemed colleague, Bob DeBarge-your unwavering dedication to excellence has been an inspiration and I value our partnership in guiding students through the didactic year of our program. Thank you for willingness to share your personal time during the data collection phase of this project and for your valuable editorial expertise with early drafts of this work.
