Summer Retreat 2008 Flyer Breakthrough Men’s Community: Lessons Learned and Future Directions DRAFT –page 4 Executive Summary OVERVIEW OF BREAKTHROUGH MEN’S COMMUNITY The Breakthrough Men's Community (BMC) consists of the more than 600 graduates of the Breakthrough program. Its central activities are the staffing and running of the Breakthrough program, which consists of two extended workshops - Breakthrough 1 (BT1) and Breakthrough 2 (BT2) – which together total 33 weeks and involve weekly 3-hour meetings and several day- long or weekend retreats. In addition, the small, self-led groups (also known as Breakthrough 3), which form after participants graduate from BT2, are supported by the wider community; information is circulated !"#$%&'"()*'+,$-#.+/0+123#4++ through a newsletter and a weekly e mail set of 5+12-#+26,&#$.+(3+7(826*4+ announcements; special events (guest speakers, workshops) are organized regularly; and there is an annual Summer Retreat, attended each year by about 90 men. The fundamental purpose of Breakthrough is neatly captured in its vision statement: Our vision is to create community by championing the full humanity and gifts of men and all people. In other words, the program aims to strengthen the hearts and minds of men so they can re-evaluate what it means to be fully human and male and to create and live the life they want. BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY In 2006, the Breakthrough Men's Community solicited and received funds from the Blue Shield of California Foundation in order to conduct an assessment of the program as it passed its twentieth year of operation. The purpose was to characterize the impact of its signature workshops and other community activities and identify what has been especially successful and powerful; to create an organizational development plan for the future; and to identify the aspects of the program most effective in addressing issues of domestic violence. This grant enabled Breakthrough to explore the impact of its programs in some detail, through a series of individual interviews, a 20-page written survey completed by 164 graduates, and a sequence of focus group interviews. These activities, conducted between October 2006 and March 2008, produced a bank of data which is presented and explored in the full report. In addition, an external consultant facilitated a series of discussions leading to a document outlining future possibilities for the growth and development of the organization. DEMOGRAPHICS OF PARTICIPANTS The survey participants form a relatively homogeneous population: of the 164 respondents, 88% are white; the average age is 54; and 69% have attended college. Not unexpectedly, the respondents are generally more involved in the Breakthrough community: one third had at some point volunteered to be part of a workshop teaching team; 82% are or 5+'$.+9##6+$+8$,&("+ have been part of a self-led group; and 68% had attended at least one 3("+/$60+0#$",:+9)&+ summer retreat. There were also commonalities in terms of motivation 2&+;$,+&'"()*'+ for joining the program: the great majority cited partner relationship !"#$%&'"()*'+&'$&+ issues as their primary concern; this was followed by lack of self- 5+3()6.+&'#+ esteem, isolation and depression. Only 9% identified domestic violence ,82"2&)$1+$6.+ as a reason for joining, while far more (30%) expressed a concern about #/(&2(6$1+'#$126*+ issues of anger. Clearly, this population turns their anger inward, with &'$&+5+'$.+$1;$0,+ the resulting isolation, depression and low self-esteem. 9##6+,##%26*4+ Breakthrough Men’s Community: Lessons Learned and Future Directions DRAFT –page 5 ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACT OF THE BT CURRICULUM The survey respondents nominated the following as the most important concepts in the curriculum: boundaries, inherent nature, self-esteem and active listening. They represent the core notions of identifying and valuing one’s true nature, protecting it with a healthy boundary system, genuinely <=9#3("#+!"#$%&'"()*':+&'#+7'$"*#+;()1.+ connecting with people through effective communication 9#+$9()&+#-#"0&'26*+26+/0+123#+3(7),#.+26+ (6+&'2,+8$"&27)1$"+2,,)#4++>'#+"$*#+'$.+ skills, and using the boundary concept to avoid taking on 6(&'26*+&(+.(+;2&'+&'#+&(827+(3+/0+$6*#"+ the distress or shame of others.

It was also clear 5+,'$"#+2&:+$6.+2&+2,+.2,7'$"*#.4++5&+2,+(6+ that BT graduates value the healing component of the &(827:+$6.+6(&+$9()&+&'#+/0"2$.+(3+(&'#"+ course which enables them to identify and describe their ,'2&+&'$&+0()+,8#;4B+ boyhood traumas, discharge the feelings associated with them and then accurately identify their present time feelings and express them appropriately. Active listening skills were prized above all else as the most important tools that respondents learning through Breakthrough, followed by the use of boundaries and the ability to deal with issues and discharge feelings appropriately through peer interactions (known in Breakthrough as “sessions”). Also valued was the tool of affirmations, which combines with boundaries and the idea of inherent nature to facilitate increased self-esteem and the establishment of an adult reality. ASSESSMENT OF THE DELIVERY OF THE BT CURRICULUM Of the various pedagogical components of the Breakthrough program, the following were nominated as having the most significant impact: ! Demonstrations: after the presentation of new material in a given meeting, one of the teaching team takes a volunteer through the day’s exercise in which the new concepts and tools are processed and practiced; ! Small group sessions: after the demonstration, the participants break into groups of three, +!"#$%&'"()*'+"$.2$&#.+ with a teaching team member to facilitate as each of the '(8#+$6.+"#12#3+3"(/+8$264++ three men works through the set exercise; 5&+&(1.+&")&'+&(+/#+C23+5+ !

They also acknowledged that the group became a powerful healing environment, as the men built meaningful connections and recognized the universality of their feelings and processes. Breakthrough Men’s Community: Lessons Learned and Future Directions DRAFT –page 6 GENERAL IMPACT OF BREAKTHROUGH One word best captures the impact of Breakthrough: transformative. 91% of survey respondents used the word “enormous” or “considerable” to describe the extent of the impact that Breakthrough has had on their lives.

    ARTICLE ADAPTING COPYRIGHT FOR THE MASHUP GENERATION PETER S. MENELL† Growing out of the rap and hip hop genres as well as advances in digital editing tools, music mashups have emerged as a defining genre for post-Napster generations. Yet the uncertain contours of copyright liability as well as prohibitive transaction costs have pushed this genre underground, stunting its development, limiting remix artists’ commercial channels, depriving sampled artists of fair compensation, and further alienating netizens and new artists from the copyright system. In the real world of transaction costs, subjective legal standards, and market power, no solution to the mashup problem will achieve perfection across all dimensions. The appropriate inquiry is whether an allocation mechanism achieves the best overall resolution of the trade-offs among authors’ rights, cumulative creativity, freedom of expression, and overall functioning of the copyright system. By adapting the long-standing cover license for the mashup genre, Congress can support a charismatic new genre while affording fairer compensation to owners of sampled works, engaging the next generations, and channeling disaffected music fans into authorized markets.

  • The AGA Song Book up to Date
    3rd Edition Songs, Poems, Stories and More! Edited by Bob Felice Published by The American Go Association P.O. Box 397, Old Chelsea Station New York, N.Y., 10113-0397 Copyright 1998, 2002, 2006 in the U.S.A. by the American Go Association, except where noted. Cover illustration by Jim Rodgers. No part of this book may be used or reproduced in any form or by any means, or stored in a database or retrieval system, without prior written permission of the copyright holder, except for brief quotations used as part of a critical review. Introductions Introduction to the 1st Edition When I attended my first Go Congress three years ago I was astounded by the sheer number of silly Go songs everyone knew. At the next Congress, I wondered if all these musical treasures had ever been printed. Some research revealed that the late Bob High had put together three collections of Go songs, but the last of these appeared in 1990. Very few people had these song books, and some, like me, weren’t even aware that they existed. While new songs had been printed in the American Go Journal, there was clearly a need for a new collection of Go songs. Last year I decided to do whatever I could to bring the AGA Song Book up to date. I wanted to collect as many of the old songs as I could find, as well as the new songs that had been written since Bob High’s last song book. You are holding in your hands the book I was looking for two years ago.

  • Psycho- Spiritual Treatment: an Exploratory Study on Its Practices
    Journal of Critical Reviews ISSN- 2394-5125 Vol 7, Issue 8, 2020 PSYCHO- SPIRITUAL TREATMENT: AN EXPLORATORY STUDY ON ITS PRACTICES Nurul Sakinah binti Aziz1, Rafeah Saidon2*, Siti Khadijah Ab. Manan3, Rosilawati Sueb4 1,2,3Academy of Contemporary Islamic Studies, UniversitiTeknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia 4Faculty of Education, UniversitiTeknologi MARA (UiTM), Malaysia E-mail: 2*[email protected]/[email protected] Received: 05.05.2020 Revised: 02.06.2020 Accepted: 28.06.2020 Abstract The combination of spiritual and psychology terms referred as psycho-spiritual is employed globally. The literature has acknowledged the criticality of the spiritual role since it mirrors an individual’s lifespan. Hence, the relationship of this spiritual role with an individual’s well-being has been consistently examined in the literature. Nevertheless, no research has identified the current methods of psycho- spiritual treatment across different practices. Thus, this research aims to identify the current practices employed in this combined element and investigate the methods used. The emphasis of this study is the important influence of the spiritual role on the formation of human spirit. Content analysis is employed in this study to examine the relevant literature. The results determined several important psycho-spiritual methods in the healthcare and rehabilitation treatment processes. This stresses the criticality of a psycho-spiritual method to minimize spiritual illness which could influence the psychology of an individual. Thus, the study has contributed by offering a new perspective on the criticality of spiritual involvement in curing physiological disturbances, Keywords--Psycho-spiritual, psycho-spiritual practices, psycho- spiritual treatment. © 2020 by Advance Scientific Research.

  • Regulatory Incentives for Innovation
    REGULATORY INCENTIVES FOR INNOVATION: THE FDA’S BREAKTHROUGH THERAPY DESIGNATION Amitabh Chandra1 Jennifer Kao2 Kathleen L. Miller3 Ariel D. Stern4 Abstract In approving new medical products, regulators confront a tradeoff between speeding a new product to market and collecting additional information about its quality. Alternatively, with the right allocation of resources, this tradeoff function may be “shifted outward,” thereby allowing important products to come to market more quickly without compromising quality evaluation. We study the FDA’s Breakthrough Therapy Designation (BTD), a novel policy tool that was created to accelerate the clinical development and regulatory approval processes for developers of high-value therapies by increasing feedback and communication with regulators during later phases of drug development. Using algorithmic matching models, we assess the impact of the BTD program on measures of (1) time-to-market and (2) post-approval drug safety. We find that the BTD program shortened late-stage clinical development times by 24 percent. We do not find evidence of a difference in the ex post safety profile of drugs with (vs. without) the BTD. In exploring mechanisms, we find support for reduced BTD trial design com- plexity, but not for trial size as driving these findings. The results suggest that targeted policy tools can shorten R&D periods without compromising the quality of new products. * The authors are grateful to seminar participants at the Allied Social Science Associations meeting, the Amer- ican Society of Health Economists Annual Conference, the Bates-White Life Sciences Symposium, the Harvard- MIT Center for Regulatory Science, the Munich Summer Institute, NABE Tech Conference, the NBER Produc- tivity Seminar, the Spreestadt-Forum on Health Care, and the University of San Francisco for valuable comments.

  • Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy: the Therapeutic Relationship
    Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy The unique relationship between patient and therapist is the main healing factor in psychotherapy. Following C.G.Jung’s pioneering views on the complexity of conscious and unconscious interactions in the therapy process, this book explains the Jungian approach to the therapeutic relationship and the treatment process. Introduction to Jungian Psychotherapy: The Therapeutic Relationship shows how taking a Jungian perspective can help deal with the complicated paradoxes of psychotherapy. David Sedgwick outlines a modern Jungian approach to psychotherapy, always with reference to the patient-therapist relationship itself. He considers and criticises key aspects of Jungian and other theoretical perspectives, synthesizing approaches and ideas from across the therapeutic spectrum. This meditation on Jungian therapy will be invaluable to both Jungian and non-Jungian students and practitioners. David Sedgwick is a Jungian analyst and clinical psychologist in Charlottesville, Virginia. He is the author of The Wounded Healer: Countertransference from a Jungian Perspective (1994) and Jung and Searles: A Comparative Study (1993), and numerous articles and book reviews.
