Subject: References on Stress-Moderating Variables?

   Hullo --
         Anyone out there know of a book or journal article on the various
   "stress moderator variables" ?    You know:  Hardiness, self-efficacy,
   self-complexity, and a mellow advisor?        ;)
      I'm badly in need of a quick education in this area. If you recall a
  recent title that reviews stress moderators, or just stress, please pass
  it on!  (Before I have a nervous breakdown -- joke.)

Please send all responses to the questionnaire to Kathy Morgan

to forward the questionnaire to her.

Please do not send the questionnaire response through PSYCGRAD.

Subject:      HIV vs. Confidentiality

Hello Everyone!

The subject of confidentiality and HIV does pose a difficult situation.  The
questions that come to mind that I would have to answer "Is there a danger to
the client or someone else?" that seems an obvious one; "How much responsibility
do I have, as a psychologist, to notifying that partner about the HIV situation.
"
this too almost seems obvious.  But where does the service to client come in.
They, too, need to be counseled with regard to their own grief, fear, etc. and
would I jeopardize the idea of therapy for them if I broke confidentiality.

In trying to approach this subject my first step might be to discuss further the
fear they had about telling the partner and discussing the consequences to the
decisions.  (I am assuming we are still in the first session.)  If at the end of
this session, if the client is still apprehensive about discussing this with
their partner I would - as diplomatically as possible - point out that this was
an area where confidentiality could be broken if I thought someone else was in
danger.  I might approach the idea of using a contract with this client about
not having sex with this partner for the week inbetween our next appointment. I
would then set out some parameters as to what I thought should occur in the next
meeting.  Such as, I expect that he will have made up his mind on how he wants
to handle telling his partner - either on his own, in my office, somewhere else
that is neutral where help is available.  I would point out that if he choses
not to tell his partner I will have to in order to protect him/her from danger.

It sounds like I am trying to let them make their own decision as long as they
decide what it is I have already decided.  I undoubtedly would feel anxious
about the boundaries on this issue but given the danger of the HIV virus it is
a situation where I would push ahead the idea of protecting the uninfected
partner while also trying to assure the client that services were available for
both people.

Depending on your theoreticaly orientation and how exclusively you value
confidentiality I am sure there are other answers out there that would work jsut
as well.  This is something that is so important to know ahead of time and have
a plan of action - thanks for bring it up!!

P.S.  Please excuse the "he, his" in parts of my message, I would prefer a
neutral pronoun.

I am not sure it is a matter of being able to prefer this position.  No one
(except the most radical constructivist) generally doubts that there is
actually *furniture* out there in the universe.  the question is whether
we can know its *true nature* given the way we are wired.  A simple example
is the work of the gestaltist earlier this century.  Clearly brain function
that was able to make sensible wholes of bits of sensory data ie to
interpolate form, function or even meaning from incomplete data conferred
an evolutionary advantage and was selected.   But the difference between
a Gestalt experiment and the question of what we can know is that in
the Gestalt experiment we know the nature of the original stimulus , at
least in a broad sense.  In the question of knowing in general, however,
the real data are not available to us -- they are only available in the
already trnsduced, perceived or constructed form, thanks to our brains.
I think there are data that are more knowable than other data, such as
Rat A turns left in the T-tunnel every time condition B is imposed.
There is virtually no doubt that this is what we call a fact.  And knowing
that relation in the simple descriptive form can be a very useful bit of
information.  But when we start talking about WHY that relation exists,
or what CAUSED the rat to do such a thing, we are in a much fuzzier place
in terms of being at the mercy of construction, etc.

Hello,

Here is a trick I learned for getting mail through to people when it comes
bouncing back.  Say your writing to friend@foo.edu but get a message like
"Unknown node", "Illegal domain name", etc.  Try sending the message to
friend%foo.edu@cornellc.bitnet  CornellC is a big gateway between the Bitnet
and Internet, and has updated information all the time.  Remember to use a
percent (%) sign instead of an at (@) sign for the first part of the address.

This method has never failed for me.

Two quick quirky quieries:
Does anyone know how to score the
Buss-Durkee Guilt-Hostility Inventory?
Does anyone know any research that is
being done on animal therapy - i.e. when
animals, dogs or cats, are brought to
a nursing home or other type of institution
for the residents to play with? I guess
this is not really animal therapy because
the animals are not getting therapy, but
the people are getting a therapeutic
experience via the animals.

Anyway, that was not as quick as I hoped.

I believe that the American Psychologist this month (in between lists
of members and meeting minutes) addresses this exact question.  I
did not read it closely but I think that Cynthia's comments are very
close to what APA recommends.  If the client refuses to tell his/her
partner, and continues to endanger her/him, I think one would have to
inform the partner.  What a tough situation.  I am very interested to "hear"
the conversation on this topic.

    Hi again.
    Some people have requested information about Endnote, the reference
program.  Since this information has already been posted, I suggest that you
retrieve this info from the Psycgrad files.  Information on how to get these
files should be on its way.
    If, having obtained this info, you decide that you want to buy Endnote
as a group, please let me now ASAP.  The group is almost complete (only one
more person needed, according to my last head-count), and we hope to get this
program very soon.

Wait a minute Kathy.  Who's side are you on?! :-)

I don't think there is much more I can add to the discussion at this point.
Just that I would tend to take Mike's line that much of what we call knowledge
is constructed, if not created, by our brains.  Hence it is not just a simple
process of discovery.

I don't claim that the physical limitations of our brains are a necessary
reason why there should be a limit to what we can know.  It's just that the
proposition seems plausible to me, as I've tried to outline.  I find that
there is general unease with the idea though.  Sometimes the objections are
thought out, as in Don's case.  At other times though, people seem to have
assumed that because we are Homo Sapiens, at the top of the evolutionary tree,
we simply will be able to know everything; or at least, everything that is
worth knowing.  To me that's just intellectual arrogance and cuts no ice.

I guess it's just one of those assumptions that started the whole conversation.

Have a nice day all.

Remo at ANU (on a very cold, frosty morning).
