Q1338286 Inglês

Abuse does not always mean physical violence


In fact, there are several different definitions of what can qualify as abuse, ranging from physical to verbal and even digital. “A lot of people think of abuse as just getting hit, but it’s a lot of different things,” Dr. Phil explains. The Aspire Initiative, a free domestic violence education curriculum for tweens, teens and adults, to reduce the level of intimate relationship violence in the United States, founded by Robin McGraw through her When Georgia Smiled foundation, offers these definitions for five different types of abuse, courtesy of LoveIsRespect.org. Physical Abuse: Any intentional use of physical force with the intent to control a partner through fear or injury. Emotional/Verbal Abuse: An attempt to control a partner through the manipulation of their self-esteem, sense of personal security, relationships with others, and/or their perception of reality. Often it results in the victim feeling worthless and responsible for the abuse. Sexual Abuse: Any behaviors that impact a person’s ability to control their sexual activity or the circumstances in which sexual activity occurs. Digital Abuse: This is a form of emotional/verbal abuse that uses technology or social media to intimidate, harass, bully, stalk or threaten a current or ex-partner. Financial Abuse: The use of finances or access to finances to control a partner. It’s one of the powerful forms of abuse, and common method of entrapping a partner in the relationship. It’s often given as the reason that victims of abuser stayed in or returned to an abusive relationship. Disponível em: drphil.com. Acesso em 21 de outubro de 2016.

Com base no texto, infere-se que:


I – O Dr. Phill explica que se criou uma cultura do abuso, mas nem tudo é abuso. Ele afirma ainda que o tema deve ser criteriosamente estudado.
II – O Dr. Phill explica que muitas pessoas pensam que o abuso é apenas um golpe físico, mas o abuso pode ser muitas coisas diferentes.
III – O texto trata de pelo menos cinco tipos de abusos e suas características.
IV – O texto informa que a melhor maneira de prevenir e combater os abusos é através de denúncias e diálogos com profissionais de saúde mental.

The placebo effect: amazing and real

November 2, 2015
Robert H. Shmerling



    The placebo effect is a mysterious thing. I’ve long been fascinated by the idea that something as inert and harmless as a sugar pill could relieve a person’s pain or hasten their recovery just by the expectation that it would. Studies use placebos – an inactive treatment, such as a sugar pill – in an attempt to understand the true impact of the active drug. Comparing what happens to a group of patients taking the active drug with the results of those taking a placebo can help researchers understand just how good the active drug is.
    The word “placebo” comes from Latin and means “I shall please.” And “please” it does. In study after study, many patients who take a placebo show improvement in their symptoms or condition.

The placebo effect is for real

    Recent research on the placebo effect only confirms how powerful it can be – and that the benefits of a placebo treatment aren’t just “all in your head.” Measureable physiological changes can be observed in those taking a placebo, similar to those observed among people taking effective medications. In particular, blood pressure, heart rate, and blood test results have been shown to improve among subsets of research subjects who responded to a placebo.
    Of course, not everyone has a therapeutic response to a placebo. If that were the case, we wouldn’t need medications at all. Instead, we could simply wield the power of suggestion. Understanding why certain people improve with placebo treatment and others do not is the “holy grail” of placebo research.

Nocebo: Placebo’s evil twin

     The power of suggestion is a double-edged sword. If you expect a treatment to help you, it’s more likely to do so. And if you expect a treatment will be harmful, you are more likely to experience negative effects. That phenomenon is called the “nocebo effect” (from the Latin “I shall harm”). For example, if you tell a person that a headache is a common side effect of a particular medication, that person is more likely to report headaches even if they are actually taking a placebo. The power of expectation is formidable and probably plays a significant role in the benefits and the side effects of commonly prescribed medications.

can be exemplified by actually feeling the side effects of medication or placebo.
