摘要:

The social ranking (or social competition) theory of depression suggests that the capacity for episodes of depressed mood evolved as a mechanism for inhibiting challenge. Depressed mood induces the sufferer to accommodate to low social rank, or to losing in social competition, or to adopting the one‐down position in a complementary relationship (Price, 1991; Price, Sloman, Gardner, Gilbert&Rohde, 1994; Sloman, Price, Gilbert&Gardner, 1994). Thus depressed patients should be observed to forego the privileges of high rank and of winning, such as exercising social power and getting their own way. However, several commentators have noted that depressed patients often seem to be very powerful, and even appear to use their depression to manipulate others. This paper attempts to reconcile the theory to such observation

摘要:

This paper proposes a clinical concept of the self as experiential being. Such a concept offers the triple advantage of being non‐reductive, introducing experience as a clinical unit of analysis and intervention, and viewing a representational capacity to experience as a crucial element towards the construction of ‘I’. The central importance of ‘experience’ in health and disorder is addressed, followed by a characterization of the processes of ‘going through’, the integration of ‘experience’ into T and the processes of defence, which are viewed from the perspective of the experiential being. Experience, or ‘going through’, has five defining characteristics: awareness, motivation, linking, learning and evolution. The processing of ‘experience’ on two levels, the representational level and the level of the experiential being, leads to the integration of experience into ‘I’. The owning of experience, and not defence, is seen as the key factor in health and disorder. As the capacity to own experience, which includes the owning of defence, is the key to the road to health, it is argued that clinical intervention must focus on the person's capacity too

摘要:

This paper has three aims: (a) to present the further development of the concept of transpersonal processes and the bimodal theory of relational cognition; (b) to show how the bimodal concept illuminates developmental theory and facilitates the move from object relations theory toward a relational systems model; and (c) to show how the attachment paradigm and the notions of internal working models (Bowlby, 1973) and self‐reflective capacity (Fonagy, 1991) are both congruent and synergistic with the transpersonal and bimodal concept

摘要:

A pilot study was carried out with 24 women with the main aim of examining retrospectively the experience of miscarriage to indicate issues worthy of further investigation. It was found that the psychological sequelae following miscarriage appear to be similar to the bereavement process. Whilst social support from partners, relatives and friends was helpful, subjects did not perceive that support from professionals and the wider community was always adequate.

摘要:

The hypothesis that music serves a compensatory emotional need, specifically that blocked capacity for intimacy would predict musical responsiveness, was examined in musicians and psychologists. Music and psychology students completed a musical preference scale and measures of personal relationships and capacity for intimacy. Degree of musical responsiveness was significantly related to a blocked capacity for intimacy in music students but these measures were non‐significantly negatively related in psychology students. For the latter group, musical preference (i.e. degree of liking for different kinds of music) and measures of blocked capacity for intimacy were significantly negatively related to reported time spent listening to music. The results for music students are consistent with the Freudian hypothesis of sublimation and extend the work of Machotka in the realm of visual arts to that of music. The results for psychology students, however, indicate that for them music is not serving an aesthetic function in the sense defined by Wallach (1959). The most plausible explanation for the difference between music and psychology students is in terms of anxiety as a mediating variabl
