  • Following a brief overview of the history, symptoms, prevalence, and course of the disorder, Chapter 2 introduces the reader to the cognitive model of GAD. While acknowledging the contribution and validity of different psychobiological models, [MICHEL J. DUGAS] and [MELISA ROBICHAUD] propose that GAD is the result of specific cognitive processes that serve to maintain and reinforce the chronic nature of the illness. Described within the context of up-to-date empirical research, four key components are introduced: intolerance of uncertainty, positive beliefs about worry, negative problem orientation, and cognitive avoidance. Each component is described with respect to its characteristic and essential contribution to the development and maintenance of GAD; however, particular attention is...

  • We very much appreciate that our article (Romanow & Marchildon, 2003) generated sufficient interest to produce three formal responses (Arnett, Nicholson, & Breault, this issue; Hunsley & Crabb, this issue; Mikail & Tasca, this issue. While the future sustainability of public health care in Canada will require significant reform, we nonetheless resist characterizing the current system as entirely stuck in a 1960's model of medicare, one which illegitimately sets priorities or decides issues of public coverage on the basis of "politics" (Hunsley & Crabb; Mikail £ Tasca). Without doubt, the legacy of medicare is associated with some important institutional rigidities, including the physician-centred nature of the system. We agree with Arnett et al. (this issue) that, wi...

  • Noise exposure has been the focus of research attention for nearly 40 years, since the classic work by Glass and Singer (1972). Several studies have documented adverse effects of chronic noise exposure on children, including disrupted reading acquisition (Bronzaft & McCarthy, 1975; Evans & Maxwell, 1997), memory impairment (Hygge, Evans, & Bullinger, 2002), and physiological stress responses (Evans, Hygge, & Bullinger, 1995). Fortunately, these effects appear to be reversible: The introduction of noise attenuation strategies resolved reading problems in elementary school children (Bronzaft, 1981), and the end of chronic noise exposure (because of the closing of a nearby airport) reversed the adverse effects on memory (Hygge et al., 2002). There is mounting evidence that ...

  • During the June 2004 and January 2006 federal election campaigns, the Liberal Party promised the creation of a universal, accessible childcare policy. Given the current scarcity of affordable, quality childcare throughout the country, this promise was, quite predictably, warmly received. At the same time, discussions about a national childcare policy raised important questions about ensuring the universality of accessible, quality care for children. Such issues have yet to be seriously deliberated in the academic, public and political discussions regarding the development of national childcare. This paper seeks to address questions about the effectiveness of federal involvement in early child education and care through the analysis of two other legislative initiatives created to support...
