Hellettä ilman pilviä

Miessyrjinnän indikaattoreita:

Uuden Seelannin miehiä kuolee kuin kärpäsiä:

New Zealand men are dying because of "a crisis of the spirit" and despair at what life has to offer, a summit has heard.

A former director of Lifeline, Bruce Mackie, says more men than women are dying in the workplace, on the roads and in water, and from cancer, heart disease and suicide, because they have learned not to value themselves.

Katastrofitraumojen psykologiapu vain pahentaa ongelmia:

There have now been over a dozen controlled trials in which people involved in accidents and other traumas were randomly allocated to receive or not receive such counselling. And the results showed conclusively that immediate psychological debriefing did not work. Those who received it were no better emotionally than those who did not. Worse, the better studies with the longer follow-ups showed that receiving such counselling increased the rate of later psychological problems. The group that seemed to be harmed most by this were those who were particularly upset at the time - exactly those who you might think ought to be treated. So immediate post-trauma counselling may help us feel that something is being done, but it doesn't help those who receive it.
