Vol 285(24) Jun 2001, 3123-3129. American Medical Assn, US, http://www.jama.com Special Issue Title No Special Issue Title Available ISSN 0098-7484 Language English Abstract Assessed the effect of bereavement on family caregivers by examining pre- vs post-death changes in self-reported and objective health outcomes among elderly persons providing varying levels of care prior to their spouse's death. A prospective, population-based cohort study was conducted in 4 US communities between 1993 and 1998. 129 66-96 yr olds whose spouse died during an average 4-yr follow-up were classified as noncaregivers (NCs), caregivers reporting no strain (NSCs), or strained caregivers (SCs). Ss were assessed for changes in depression symptoms (assessed by the 10-item Center for Epidemiological Studies-Depression [CES-D] scale), antidepressant use, health risk behaviors, and weight. CES-D scores remained high but did not change among SCs, while these scores increased for both NCs and NSCs. NCs were more likely to be using nontricyclic antidepressant medications following the death than the NSCs. The SCs showed improvement in health risk behaviors following the death of their spouse, while the NCs and NSCs showed little change. NCs experienced weight loss following the death, while SCs and NSCs did not show significant weight change.

Discusses questions such as: (1) To what extent are gender and sexuality "programmed in the genes' and to what extent are they acquired through learning and from culture?, (2) What is wrong with traditional ways in which psychology has addressed these topics and what better alternatives are there?, and (3) What do these new approaches have to offer us in understanding out own gender and sexuality, our life experiences and our relationships. Gender and sexuality have a profound influence on who we are and what we feel, think, and do. This book reviews early psychological studies of gender and sexuality and then sets out a number of challenges that have been made to them in more recent times: libertarian, feminist and postmodern. It shows how these challenges raise important questions about gender and sexuality by applying them to topic of interest in today's world.
