摘要:

This study investigated differences in British Asian and white people's expectations about psychological counselling. Ninety‐eight general practice subjects not anticipating counselling completed the Expectations About Counselling (EAC) questionnaire. There were significant differences on 10 of 18 EAC subscales relating to client and counsellor attitudes and characteristics, and counselling process and outcom

摘要:

An account of Kleinian analysis illustrating the concept of the pathological organization is discussed from an alternative theoretical position, that of cognitive analytic therapy. It is suggested that the alternative model of development, while still essentially an object relations theory, produces a different understanding and that the therapeutic method associated with it offers a more powerful means of aiding personality integration.

摘要:

We introduce the idea of a professionally isolated and apparently disconnected agency. We describe how health professionals working in settings with good multi‐agency links may not recognize the effect of the isolated agency system on the presentation of problems.In particular, we describe the setting of the Sexually Transmitted Diseases clinic (STD) in which confidentiality can be turned into secrecy by the patients at the service of their denial of the seriousness of their problems. The isolation of the STD clinic as an agency resonates with the patients' isolation from their own feelings and emotional contact with people. It also isolates the professional and the therapeutic network. By way of clinical examples, we describe how this may deskill the staff and lead to dangerous situation

摘要:

In a model of motherhood Raphael‐Leff (1983) delineated two basic orientations: the Facilitator who adapts to the baby and the Regulator who expects the baby to adapt. The FR questionnaire was completed by 97 Israeli mothers of six‐month‐old infants; 34 per cent were classified as Facilitators, 34 per cent Regulators, 15 per cent Intermediates and 17 per cent were labelled Bipolars. Future research should explore the characteristics of this latter group and its prevalence in other soci

摘要:

Multiple regression analysis of a wide range of variables for a sample of 58 women obtaining elective abortion identified psychodynamic factors as the only statistically significant explanations for seeking abortion at later gestational ages. Delay among these women was associated with greater disturbance in the basic sense of self as noted in indications of gender/sexual conflict on their drawings of a human figure, and lower achievement orientation (‘striving’) as expressed by lower levels of striving attributed to parents or other primary (early) caretakers. These findings are discussed as an active taking charge of an unintended pregnancy for women who present early for abortion; for those who delay, attempts to affirm a deficient feminine identification and/or reunite psychologically with the early caretaker are discussed as underlying dynam

摘要:

Psychological theories approach the problem of delusional thinking in psychosis from a range of perspectives. Recent attention has focused on the attributional style of sufferers; research points towards the relevance of cognitive deficits; the potential value of cognitive therapy in reducing delusional thinking is being explored; and psychodynamic theories argue for the role of defence mechanisms. Aspects of these approaches are reviewed and ideas for integration discussed within the vulnerability‐stress model of psychosis. Implications for therapy are note

摘要:

This paper examines the related concepts of paranoia and delusion from a broadly social constructionist perspective. Through an analysis of the American Psychiatric Association's (1987) definition of delusion, inherent inconsistencies and implied philosophical assumptions are highlighted. It is argued that psychiatric definitions are not merely academic and clinical but are a site of political and professional interest. The implications of such an analysis are discussed with particular reference to developing new directions for research and clinical practice.

摘要:

A data set of Attributional Style Questionnaire responses collected by Kaney&Bentall (1989) from persecutory deluded, normal and depressed subjects was added to a similar data set collected by the first author. The attributions made for hypothetical positive and negative events by the combined pool of subjects were then blind rated for internality by five independent judges. Whereas the internality ratings made by the subjects for their own attributions showed evidence of an exaggerated self‐serving bias in the case of the deluded subjects, and an absence of such a bias in the case of the depressed subjects, the independent ratings showed no such group differences. These findings suggest that the differences in internality for positive and negative events observed on the ASQ between deluded, normal and depressed subjects may not reflect differences in the types of causal statements made by these subjects but differences in their attributions about their attributions. The relevance of this observation for attribution theory in general and attributional accounts of psychopathology in particular are discusse

摘要:

A retrospective study of 258 psychiatric out‐patients in Jerusalem compared 122 patients from an ultra‐orthodox Jewish community with 136 other Jewish patients. It was found that six patients who had a psychosis within a month of marriage all belonged to the ultra‐orthodox community. The possible links between cultural and educational practice in the ultra‐orthodox community and the vulnerability to the stress of marriage are discussed. It seems feasible to regard the precipitation of major mental illness by marriage as a largely culture‐bound p
