摘要:

A psychotherapist's verbal interventions may be understood as promoting a client's eventual improvement by facilitating developmental change processes within the client. This approach is an alternative to the traditional search for statistical links between aggregates of therapist interventions and global outcome measures. Our approach employs models of clients' assimilation of problematic experiences within problem domains and therapists' implementation of theoretically specified aims. In an empirical illustration, one client's change within a particular problem domain and its links with therapist interventions were assessed qualitatively across the course of brief psychodynamic‐interpersonal treatmen

摘要:

There are few case‐study‐based reports of the role of pornography in the lives of sex offenders in contrast with numerous studies of a survey and statistical nature. Very little is known about the ways in which offenders process pornographic and other erotic materials as part of their offending patterns. The research reported in this study was based on case studies of fixated paedophiles in a private clinic for sex offenders. The men were interviewed about a range of matters including their offending, their psychosexual histories, pornography, fantasy, and sexual abuse in childhood. Commercial pornography was rarely a significant aspect of their use of erotica although some experience of such materials was typical of the men. Most common was ‘soft‐core’ heterosexually oriented pornography. Explicit child pornography was uncommon. However, offenders also generated their own ‘erotic’ materials from relatively innocuous sources such as television advertisements, clothing catalogues featuring children modelling underwear, and similar sources. In no case did exposure to pornography precede offending‐related behaviour in childhood. All of the offenders had experienced childhood sexual abuse by adults or older peers. The relationship of these findings to previous research and implications for legisl

摘要:

Recent changes in British law have enabled adults who were adopted when young to trace their biological relatives. The reported frequency of incestuous sentiments and relationships in these reunions, together with the individual experiences and the meanings which are attached to them, challenge fundamental assumptions of both Westermarck's and Freud's theories. Post‐adoption incest is characterized experientially by a romantic search for attachment followed by a recognition of oneself in the other. The question of incest has been fundamental to biosocial theories of individual and cultural development. Some revisions are proposed, principally that adult sexual interests remain constrained both by early attachments and later phenotypic matching, reinforced by personal contingencies and cultural rule

摘要:

The cultural contribution to psychopathology may become more salient in situations of social change, but it remains difficult to distinguish individual agency among wider social and economic transitions, such as ‘modernization’ or simply ‘culture change’, which carry the potential for recourse to new patterns. Eating disorders, a biosocial pattern once identified exclusively with European societies, do occur among South Asian women including those living in the West. This seems not just a simple appropriation of contemporary Western ideals of female morphology — the ‘fear of fatness’ — but a reassertion of an instrumental strategy of self‐renunciation in situations of exper

摘要:

This study examined differences between the ideas and experiences of pregnancy and childbirth of Asian and non‐Asian women giving birth in East London, and sources of variability in Asian women's accounts. In line with the findings of previous research, Asian women's ideas about diet in pregnancy, the gender of their children and postnatal care (e.g. the need for rest and recovery, and restrictions on their activities) were influenced by cultural beliefs and practices. However, in other ways Asian women demonstrated a strong commitment to Western maternity care. In contrast to some other studies Asian women wanted their husbands or partners present at delivery, indicating the extent to which traditional ideas are being modified. Qualitative analysis of Asian women's fuller accounts indicated that women subscribed to traditional practice as well as Western maternity care.Acculturation or familiarity with Western ideas about maternity care was associated with variability in Asian women's ideas and experiences, in line with previous research. However, in spite of frequent assumptions about its significance, religion was not associated with variability in Asian women's ideas and experiences. Parity, however, was a major variable, for Asian and for non‐Asian women, suggesting that the first birth has different significance for parents than subsequent births.The implications for the provision of maternity care are discussed, especially the need to go beyond stereotypical views based on women's ethnicity or religion to consider the beliefs and preferences of women as individuals and their personal circumstan
