  • What do indeterminacy and uncertainty mean in landscape research? Perspectives from natural sciences, social sciences, and arts

    Open AccessChris Fremantle, Jo Vergunst et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2025Referências: 30

    Landscapes, intentionally or otherwise, are often planned and managed in ways that create determined outcomes involving production, conservation, and aesthetics. While the focus of much research is on how to plan landscapes more effectively, this article explores how uncertainty and indeterminacy are inevitably also part of the research process. We present the results of discussions among a multidisciplinary group of researchers across the arts, …

    Open AccessKaren Thodberg, Lisbeth Uhrskov Sørensen et al.ARTICLEAnthrozoös2016Citada por: 13Referências: 26

    Previous studies suggest that contact with dogs can positively affect the wellbeing of elderly people in nursing homes, but there is a lack of research investigating the causal pathways of these effects. One such pathway may relate to the behavioral responses of the elderly when interacting with a dog. The present study compared the immediate behavioral responses of nursing home residents to bi-weekly visits from a person accompanied by either a …

    David J A Edwards, David Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2013

    In this article a practitioner oriented review of the literature on the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder is used to construct a phase-based model that can serve as a basis for case formulation and treatment planning. Treatments shown to be efficacious in randomized controlled trials are listed and two discourses about them are contrasted. One calls for therapists to implement treatments scrupulously according to the manual, the other c…

  • Victimisation in the Lives of Lesbian-Identified Women in South Africa

    Anita Padmanabhanunni, David J A Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2013

    Few clinical studies have examined victimisation in the lives of lesbian women in South Africa and whether there are distinct implications for psychological treatment. This paper presents the assessment and treatment of a lesbian-identified South African survivor of childhood sexual abuse who, as an adult, was raped and later gang raped. Her victimisation in adulthood represented ‘corrective rape’ motivated by the prejudiced assumption that the s…

  • Post Abortion Syndrome is a Clinical Reality

    David J A Edwards, David Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2009

    Macleod (2009) criticizes Boulind and Edwards (2008) for using the concept of post-abortion syndrome (PAS) in their conceptualization of the case of Grace. This article responds to this by arguing the following points: 1) the appropriation of PAS into anti-abortion rhetoric is not sufficient reason to abandon it since this rhetoric distorts the facts, 2) methodological difficulties cited by Macleod in identifying the nature of the distress experi…

  • Coal ash and risk

    Vanesa Castán Broto, Paul Tabbush et al.ARTICLELandscape Research2007Citada por: 6Referências: 27

    The purpose of this paper is to examine how cultural and natural components of landscapes interact in the context of environmental change.

The aim is both to develop a holistic understanding of the interaction of landscape and society in the case study and to explor…

  • From trauma debriefing to trauma support

    Gerrit van Wyk, David J A Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2006

    This paper documents the approach and experience of Traumaclinic, a Cape Town based organisation offering a trauma support service. The controversy over single session debriefing interventions is examined and it is concluded that interventions that invite intense emotional expression should not be offered indiscriminately or forced on those who do not want them. When they do occur, they need to be carefully managed and take place over several ses…

  • Treating PTSD in South African contexts

    David J A Edwards, David Edwards et al.ARTICLEJournal of Psychology in Africa2006

    Several psychological factors contribute to the development and maintenance of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) because they interfere with the emotional processing of the traumatic event. These include problematic and painful emotions such as anxiety, shame, guilt and grief, distorted or dysfunctional cognitions, and cognitive, emotional, and behavioural avoidance mechanisms. Analysis of these maintaining factors provides the basis for curr…

  • Radiocarbon dates from Fazzan, southern Libya

    Open AccessDavid Mattingly, David N Edwards et al.ARTICLELibyan Studies2002

    This short paper presents a full list of the currently available radiocarbon dates from the work of Charles Daniels in the 1960s-1970s and the Fazzan Project (1997-2001). The dates can be grouped into several categories, by site or area, and demonstrate the potential of radiocarbon dating being applied to historic-period archaeology in the Sahara. This complements earlier Italian work on later prehistory. One of the most important conclusions to …
