Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disclosure is a frequently used but rarely interrogated concept in health and social welfare. Abuse, disability, sexuality and health status can be ‘disclosed’ to peers and professionals, and on some occasions, disclosure is a requirement and not a choice. This innovative collection examines the new social and political implications of disclosure practices in health and illness. We make our identities and our connections with others by sharing life stories, experiences and innermost desires and are often asked to disclose facts about our lives, bodies and minds, at times with unintended consequences. Yet how and what, why and when people ‘disclose’ – and perceive, question and expose – and in what ways, has rarely received critical analytic attention. The contributors take up these problems by foregrounding the many shades of disclosure: from the secret, through the telling of diagnosis, to the more prosaic sharing of narratives from everyday life. The processes and implications of disclosing are addressed in areas such as: illness trajectories and end-of-life decisions; ethical research practices; medical procedures; and interpersonal relationships. Exploring the idea of disclosure as a moral imperative and a social act, this book offers a diverse range of empirical case studies, social theories and methodological insights to show how dominant and normative understandings of social relationships and their obligations shape our understanding of acts of disclosure, enquiry and exposure. It will be of interest to students and academics with an interest in narrative studies, medical anthropology, bioethics, health psychology, health studies and the sociology of health and illness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge is power, and the way knowledge is shared in a congregation can build up or break down community. When congregational leaders are sensitive to the ways that information should be shared, the congregation can become safe and strong. Unfortunately, congregations can easily fall into patterns of communication that lead to disastrous interpersonal and organizational outcomes. Even in times of crisis, however, congregations can learn and practice new skills and healthy communication management. Congregational consultants Kibbie Ruth and Karen McClintock show clergy and laity how to appropriately handle information. From proper ways to respond to rumors to relating information about a staff firing to the congregation, Healthy Disclosure is filled with step-by-step ideas for handling different types of sensitive material. It helps clergy and other congregational leaders understand levels of disclosure, including how and when to reveal information, the difference between privacy and secrecy, legal issues related to public knowledge, and the power of secrets from a congregation's past. What we don't know can hurt us. The more conscious congregational leaders are of the information they have and how they pass it along to others, the better off the congregation will be. Information management is both a technical process and a spiritual undertaking. Leaders need the ability to spiritually discern, not just intellectually decide, the solutions to congregational dilemmas. Ruth and McClintock guide readers in developing the skills needed to create a congregational environment of healthy disclosure.

Book excerpt: How do you begin to resolve a health crises that appeared from the outset to be so complex, yet in the end was so basic to resolve? Masters used his recovery and that of others to develop a Health Matrix to just two basic considerations missed by the medical profession to help others solve for just about any health crisis or disease. The concept that nutrients are good and toxins are bad, rarely considered, is mostly where needless suffering begins. The system we rely on is out to chase disease moving farther and farther from finding solutions to health that are becoming more and more obvious. Masters’ principles to achieving health for just about anyone is to create a body where disease cannot exist.

Book excerpt: "Emotion, Disclosure and Health" addresses some of the basic issues of psychology and psychotherapy: how people respond to emotional upheavals, why they respond the way they do, and why translating emotional events into language increases physical and mental health. Drawing on work in clinical, social, personality, and health psychology, as well as medical anthropology, the authors address these issues, drawing some stimulating conclusions about how an understanding of disclosure and health may be applied in clinically useful ways.

Book excerpt: A team of doctors and I figured out how to eliminate pain, inflammation, obesity, disease, and cancer to 5 basic elements of health, arranged as a pyramid of priorities. Pain, inflammation and unhealthy weight are simply precursors to disease and obesity arranged in a sequence that begin at the precise point where 1 or more of the 5 imbalances occur. All are symptoms of inflammation, all are caused by imbalances in the pyramid I call the Matrix.Where you are in the Matrix is measured by pH, 7.2 being perfect. By using the Matrix for anyone, for any condition reverses and accelerates recovery past the point of curing to a point of thriving. It makes pain, inflammation, obesity, disease, medication, cancer, and for most, mental illness irrelevant. That pyramid is the fulcrum point from where the sequence of obesity and disease begins. You can stop and reverse ill-health in its tracks by balancing the 5 elements at any point. Blood only becomes alkaline pH 7.0 (+/-0.2) absent of inflammation, to sustain life. PH is the report card of the 5 elements that make up the Matrix pyramid of patient health. The Matrix is the roadmap and the sequence is the path. The difference between existing in a hospital bed, requiring a walker, living with a sore back to thriving can be manipulated by how much you invest in optimizing the 5 elements. The easy part is, prevention and cure for anyone of any disease. Optimization and thriving is where this book wants to take you!Profit has no incentive to change, since profit is working well for individuals that currently control the system, and doctors cant disclose this information without repercussions. The trouble with the health care system is that it is driven by profit and not by incentive for cures. Trauma-care-trained doctors are practicing health care and the symptom is sick care. Treating symptoms intensifies problems because it ignores the factor of time. Health Disclosure is about health care for the 21st century and its about time!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using both a theoretical argumentation and an empirical investigation, this book rationalizes the view that in order to understand people’s privacy perceptions and behaviors, a situational perspective needs to be adopted. To this end, the book is divided into three parts. Part I advances the theory of situational privacy and self-disclosure by discussing impacts of new information and communication technologies on traditional theories of privacy and self-disclosure. Based on five basic suppositions, it describes three major processes of the theory: pre-situational privacy regulations processes, situational privacy perception and self-disclosure processes, and post-situational evaluation processes. Next, Part II presents the application of the theory to smartphone-based communication. It first analyses how people choose certain communication environments on their smartphones, how they manipulate them, and how these external factors affect self-disclosure within these environments. It then details a multi-method study conducted to test the derived assumptions and discusses the obtained results. Part III reflects on the overall implications of the theory, summarizes the major findings and lastly considers possible extensions and perspectives on future research. Intended mainly for researchers in privacy and communication studies, the book offers privacy scholars a systematic review of both classic and contemporary theories of privacy and self-disclosure. At the same time, communication scholars benefit from an additional methodological discussion of the mobile experience sampling method, which provides an invaluable approach to measuring situational communication processes.

But after a closed-door meeting with his new boss—a woman who is his former lover and has been promoted to the position he expected to have—Sanders finds himself caught in a nightmarish web of deceit in which he is branded the villain. As Sanders scrambles to defend himself, he uncovers an electronic trail into the company’s secrets—and begins to grasp that a cynical and manipulative scheme has been devised to bring him down. “Crichton writes superbly. . . . The excitement rises with each page.”—Chicago Tribune “A heart-stop story running on several tracks at once. Disclosure is up to [Crichton’s] usual locomotive speed.”—The Boston Globe “Expertly crafted, ingenious and absorbing.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
