Scott Fitzgerald's life reads like one of his own stories: a young man of great promise marries into wealth, but beneath the golden surface lie alcoholism, debt, insecurity, and in Fitzgerald's particular case, the mental instability of his beautiful, unconventional wife, Zelda. Many of the photos in this volume have never before been published, including a photo of the location where Fitzgerald and Zelda became engaged, along with rare first edition book jackets, paintings by Zelda, and photos of friends and colleagues. Fitzgerald scholar Ruth Prigozy provides fresh insight into the life of the novelist who, in both his work and life, captured the rise and fall of the Jazz Age.

Paperback. Condition: Good. O estigma em rela o s doen as mentais n o se limita apenas ao p blico, mas estende-se tamb m aos prestadores de cuidados de sa de mental. Os estudantes de medicina representam uma parte consider vel da for a de trabalho profissional no sector da sa de. Por conseguinte, as suas atitudes em rela o psiquiatria desempenham um papel importante na determina o da sua futura escolha da psiquiatria como carreira e no tratamento de queixas psiqui tricas na sua pr tica cl nica. Apesar de v rios estudos terem analisado a atitude em rela o ao campo da psiquiatria entre estudantes de medicina de todo o mundo, existe uma escassez de literatura abrangente que compare atitudes, opini es e cren as sobre perturba es psiqui tricas em diferentes culturas. Al m disso, considerando que a globaliza o e a moderniza o aceleradas em algumas sociedades aumentaram a sensibiliza o geral para a sa de mental, necess rio monitorizar as atitudes actuais em rela o psiquiatria e examinar as semelhan as e diferen as entre culturas diferentes. Os resultados do estudo mostram que a educa o psiqui trica desempenha um papel fundamental na altera o de algumas ideias erradas tradicionais sobre a psiquiatria. As diferen as de atitude em rela o psiquiatria s o influenciadas pelo est gio em psiquiatria, bem como pelos pressupostos culturais. Seller Inventory # CIN1585675199G
