FAMILY SOLIDARITY THROUGH USE OF MUSIC iii Dedication To my dogs Sadie, Smudge, and Bailey, and I suppose my parents and brother as well. FAMILY SOLIDARITY THROUGH USE OF MUSIC iv Acknowledgements I thank my dissertation advisor, Roger Peterson, because his guidance and support, as well as his warm-hearted, humorous, and kind nature have made this a thoughtful and rewarding journey. I would like to thank my committee members, Lorraine Mangione and William Slammon, for their enthusiasm about this study and for their hard work and dedication. I am truly fortunate to have had the opportunity to work with all three of them. I would also like to thank my Antioch University New England graduate school cohort—for all the laughs, support, advice, encouragement, and most of all, friendship. I have grown significantly during this experience and owe a great deal of it to you. I am indebted to Mrs. Gilliland and Mrs. Pagano from North Brunswick Township High School. They taught two of the most creative and inspiring psychology classes that I have taken, and were large factors in how I knew I was going to be a psychologist at a very young age. In addition, they provided me with emotional support during a time when I most needed it, and for that, I am eternally grateful. Most of all, I would like to thank my family. To my parents and brother: thank you for allowing me to travel six hours away from home to receive an education and to pursue my passions. I have missed you all, and I have missed a lot, but now I come home with a degree ang get to spend my time celebrating it with you. Being away from home has made me appreciate being home to the highest degree. To my dogs Smudge, Sadie and Bailey: thank you for all the kisses, tail wags, long walks on the beach, and unconditional love and support. I plan to spend the rest of my time in the state that I love (New Jersey), with the people that I love, on the beaches that I love.

  • Lone Bellow – Episode Transcript Matt: for Those Who Are Unaware of Steven Pressfield, Pressfield Is an Author of a Book Called the War of Art
    THE RESISTANCE – EPISODE 18 Zach Williams of The Lone Bellow – Episode Transcript Matt: For those who are unaware of Steven Pressfield, Pressfield is an author of a book called The War of Art. It’s actually sort of our source inspirational material for the podcast, so Zach I’d love just to read a couple lines and have you riff on that, and we’ll see where it goes over the next few minutes. So Pressfield says this: “Most of us have two lives: the life we live, and the unlived life within us. And between the two stands the resistance.” Zach, I’d love to know for you, what form resistance is taking, on the verge of another album release, or even personally in other creative ways, whatever that strikes you. Zach: I think some of my base levels, I struggle with people-pleasing, and that can be with my band, that can be during a show. It’s something that I have to be aware of. So I think I needed to figure out some things going on inside me that would easily lead me to making something that I didn’t want to make, once it was all said and done, and not getting carried away just in the process of creating the music. Every single sound that you record, every single emotion that you try to capture, it all can be tied back in to one thing in someone’s soul. For me, that can easily be some sort of fear. I started writing music in 2003, and it was a very cathartic thing.

  • “What's Important in My Life” the Personal Goals and Values Card Sorting Task for Individuals with Schizophrenia Theresa B
    “What’s Important in My Life” The Personal Goals and Values Card Sorting Task for Individuals with Schizophrenia Theresa B. Moyers and Steve Martino © 2006 Using Motivational Interviewing for clients with schizophrenia requires some adaptations of traditional methods, including the Personal Values Card Sorting Task. In our clinical work, we found that the original task described by Miller, C’de Baca, Matthews and Wilbourne (2001; casaa.unm.edu) was not useful for these clients because some of the values described on the cards were overly abstract (e.g., Autonomy, Mastery) and other issues of potential importance to these clients (e.g., Find medications that work for me, Stop hearing voices) were absent. Our modification of the Personal Goals and Values Card Sorting Task was originally developed as part of a small pilot study (Graeber et al., 2003) to investigate the impact of MI on the substance use of veterans with schizophrenia. We have significantly enlarged the current version and present it as a viable method for discussing important life goals and values with clients who struggle with schizophrenia. This tool is available for researchers and clinicians at no charge through the UNM CASAA website. Individuals wishing to use the cards can print them on business stock cards. Alternatively, they may be printed on labels and placed on index cards. They may not be sold, re-published or used for commercial purposes. The Card Sorting Task is relatively straightforward. Tell the client you will be using an exercise to help you figure out what is most important to him or her in life.

  • BWTB Valentines LOVE Show 2016
    1 All Love Show 2016 1 2 9AM The Beatles - It’s Only Love- Help! / INTRO : THE WORD (Lennon-McCartney) Lead vocal: John Recorded in six takes on June 15, 1965. The first Beatles song to include a reference to getting “high” (“I get high when I see you go by”). The working title prior to lyrics being written was “That’s a Nice Hat.” George Martin and his Orchestra recorded the instrumental version of “It’s Only Love” using the original title. In 1972 Lennon called “It’s Only Love” “the one song I really hate of mine.” On U.S. album: Rubber Soul - Capitol LP 2 3 The Beatles - Love Me Do – Please Please Me (McCartney-Lennon) Lead vocal: John and Paul The Beatles’ first single release for EMI’s Parlophone label. Released October 5, 1962, it reached #17 on the British charts. Principally written by Paul McCartney in 1958 and 1959. Recorded with three different drummers: Pete Best (June 6, 1962, EMI audition), Ringo Starr (September 4, 1962), and Andy White (September 11, 1962 with Ringo playing tambourine). The 45 rpm single lists the songwriters as Lennon-McCartney. One of several Beatles songs Paul McCartney owns with Yoko Ono. Starting with the songs recorded for their debut album on February 11, 1963, Lennon and McCartney’s output was attached to their Northern Songs publishing company. Because their first single was released before John and Paul had contracted with a music publisher, EMI assigned it to their own, a company called Ardmore and Beechwood, which took the two songs “Love Me Do” and “P.S.
