Loss of Self in Psychosis LOSS OF SELF IN PSYCHOSIS In Loss of Self in Psychosis: Psychological Theory and Practice Simon Jakes takes a critical look at contemporary approaches to the psychology of psychosis. In doing so, he explores how these vastly different approaches, as well as our numerous conceptual- isations of schizophrenia, work to reduce the effectiveness of CBT as a treatment. Four different psychological approaches to psychosis are examined in the first part of this book, as well as the development of CBT for psychosis and the theory behind this. In the second part, he describes the therapy of some clients and suggests that incorporating ideas from some of the different theories of psychosis in the same treatment may be beneficial. Using extended examples from clinical practice over the past 20 years to illuminate his theories, Loss of Self in Psychosis: Psychological Theory and Practice will prove to be thought-provoking reading for clinical psychologists, psychiatrists and other mental health professionals working with this client group. Simon Jakes is a clinical psychologist at the Bankstown Community Mental Health Team in South Western Sydney, New South Wales. He is also in private practice.

At that time deinstitutionalisation was yet to become a government policy. I was assigned to work on a “back ward”. The people on the ward had been there for many years. The patients had been there for many years and the staff had been there for many years. The charge nurse on the ward was approaching retirement. The charge nurse used to lock the doors at the time that the shift started, so if one was a couple of minutes late one could not get on the ward. We wore white coats and served up the client’s food. We then sat around, as there was nothing to do. He and the other nurses would reminisce about the good old days prior to anti-psychotic medication when patients would have to be restrained by being forced back with unattached doors. The clients sat around with nothing to do either, chairs pushed against the walls, interacting with no one. One man used to put together skipping ropes, and then undo them and then reassemble them. This was a leftover from when there used to be an “industrial therapy unit” in which patients had been employed, and he was the most active in his rather pathetic attempts to keep busy. And I rather naively thought that there must be a real medical need for these people to be kept for years in the hospital. I should have looked into the history of the hospital. I knew that it had once been called “Claybury Lunatic Asylum”, but I thought that was just outdated language, rather than being nearer to the truth. Claybury was one of the London County Council commissioned asylums for pauper lunatics. And the “pauper” gives the function away. Prior to the asylums, pauper lunatics had been housed in the workhouse, and the function of the asylum continued rather the same: providing food and shelter at an economic rate for the taxpayer and deterring anyone who could maintain themselves from asking for poor relief. This was living history. What had once been the way that all paupers were treated was now reserved only for the mad. x Preface This double-speak about care and control is endemic in psychiatry. Anyway this was the first lesson I had in the care of people with psychosis. The asylums are largely gone (and a fair amount of care in the community has gone with them, at least if Sydney is anything to go by). The dual function of mental health services to treat and to control is, however, still there, and this practical and political issue still runs through the philosophy of treatment. Theories get put to practical purposes. The theory of mental illnesses can be used to help people or it can be used to keep people in institutions for years. You have to watch out for theory. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank John Rhodes, Hazel Nelson, Paul Chadwick, Dallas Rae, Renate Wagner and Dick Hallam, who all helped in various ways with the ideas in this book and are not responsible for any of the errors, and the clients who allowed their stories to be told. Without the editorial team at Routledge the book would never have been written, so thanks to Joanne Forshaw, Charlotte Taylor and Katie Hemmings, and to Sarah Sibley for her very helpful work in putting order into my slightly chaotic manuscript. I would additionally like to thank Springer-Verlag for permission to publish excerpts from Karl Jasper’s “General Psychopathology”. Also Soraya, Ben, Joseph, Sam and Luke, who contributed considerably to the delay in finishing the book. And, of course, my parents. PART ONE 1 INTRODUCTION Feyerabend (1963), the philosopher of science, wrote: Schizophrenics very often hold beliefs which are rigid, all-pervasive, and unconnected with reality, as are the best dogmatic philosophies. Only such beliefs come to them naturally whereas a professor may sometimes spend his whole life in attempting to find arguments which create a similar state of mind . Unanimity of opinion may be fitting for a church, for the frightened victims of some (ancient or modern) myth, or for the weak and willing followers of some tyrant; variety of opinion is a feature necessary for objective knowledge . and . a humanitarian outlook. He meant this as a comment on dogmatic scientific theories rather than on “schizophrenics”, although some contemporary authors would argue that the delusions of people with psychosis are essentially dogmatic philosophies. But Feyerabend’s comments are of relevance to us in another way. In an area such as psychosis, workers or clinicians in one field often operate without reference or knowledge of the models being used by workers in other fields. So the psychologist exploring an information-processing model of psychosis will sometimes know nothing of the models being used in therapy. Clinicians are often advised to formulate the clients’ problems and relate them to a particular theory. But if the theories cannot claim to be a comprehensive explanation, then this, I will suggest, is dogmatism rather that empiricism. Feyerabend suggested that there is no one scientific method and that scientists have broken all the supposed rules of method. And we should use whatever method works. Part of the goal of writing this book is to bring together disparate psychological accounts of psychosis for the practising or aspiring clinician, because, I will suggest, as we don’t have an explanation of psychosis or schizophrenia, that as empiricists we should draw from different theories when they are useful. 4 Part one In this book I review some quite different approaches to the psychology of psychosis. Not only are the models quite varied, but the way of describing the problem is also varied, reflecting different points of view. So, for example, some talk of “schizophrenia”, whereas others talk of “psychosis”. This can make it difficult to know what we are talking about or whether we are talking about the same thing. So, for example, if we eschew the term “schizophrenia” as an unreliable and invalid term, possibly a fiction, certainly stigmatising, and possibly a conspiracy, we are left talking of “psychosis”, but the problem here is that this is a very wide term. Becoming psychotic in the midst of a deep depression may or may not be the same as becoming psychotic after a long gradual withdrawal from the world, or becoming psychotic in an emotional crisis.

This research aimed at verifying the effectiveness of using almond skins, a by-product of the confectionery industry, in the preparation of functional biscuits with improved nutritional properties. Almond skins were added at 10 g/100 g (AS10) and 20 g/100 g (AS20) to a wheat flour basis. The protein content was not influenced, whereas lipids and dietary fiber significantly increased (p < 0.05), the latter meeting the requirements for applying “source of fiber” and “high in fiber” claims to AS10 and AS20 biscuits, respectively. The addition of almond skins altered biscuit color, lowering L* and b* and increasing a*, but improved friability.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 Overview Within the psychological literature, the self-conscious emotion of shame is proving to be an area of growing interest. This thesis addresses the application of this emotion, as well as self and social evaluative processes, to our understanding of offenders, specifically those high in psychopathic traits. Part 1 reviews the literature concerning emotionality within psychopathy, in order to assess the capabilities, as well as the deficits that people with psychopathic traits demonstrate. Emotions classified as ‘moral’ or ‘self-conscious’, namely empathy, sympathy, guilt, remorse, shame, embarrassment and pride, are investigated. From the review it is clear that psychopaths are not the truly unemotional individuals that they are commonly portrayed as being, but instead experience many emotions to varying degrees. This paper concludes by highlighting possible areas for further exploration and research.

  • Working with the Hard to Reach
    Downloaded by [New York University] at 03:50 14 August 2016 Innovations in Psychosocial Interventions for Psychosis Despite the steady acceptance of psychological interventions for people with psychosis in routine practice, many patients continue to experience problems in their recovery. The need to develop new approaches, particularly for those who are more difficult to engage and have significant co-morbidities is therefore important. Innovations in Psychosocial Interventions for Psychosis positions psychological formulation as a key organising principle for the delivery of care within multidisciplinary teams. The interventions described all have the common theme of supporting recovery and achieving goals that are of primary importance to the service user which targets interventions on broader obstacles to recovery. Along with their experienced contributors, Alan Meaden and Andrew Fox introduce new developments in psychological interventions for people affected by psychosis who are hard to reach, working in a variety of settings with people at various stages of recovery. The book is divided into three parts. In Part I brief interventions and approaches aimed at promoting engagement are described as interventions in their own right. Part II is focussed on longer term interventions with individuals. Some of these highlight new developments in the evidence base whilst others draw on work applied less frequently to psychosis drawing from the broader psychological therapy practice-based evidence field. In Part III attention is given to innovations in group settings and those aimed at promoting greater multidisciplinary working in settings where a whole team approach is needed. Each chapter describes the theory underpinning a different approach, its development, key strategies, principles and stages, and contains case examples that illustrate the use of the approach in a clinical setting.

  • Original Article
    Depression in Men and Women: Relative Rank, Interpersonal Dependency, and Risk- Taking *Gayle Brewer and Nicola Olive The Social Rank Theory of depression (Price, Sloman, Gardner, Gilbert & Rohde, 1994) conceptualizes depression as a response to recognition that defeat will occur. This response reduces the risk of injury or death and further loss of valued resources, thus serving an important adaptive function. In the current study, men (N = 63) and women (N = 154) aged 18-35 completed an online questionnaire assessing depression, anxiety, social comparison, interpersonal dependency, and risk taking. Consistent with Social Rank Theory, depression levels were associated with a self-reported fall in social rank and a desire for a rise in rank. Furthermore, interpersonal dependency predicted depression for both men and women after controlling for anxiety and relative rank change and depression levels predicted a reduced willingness to engage in risky behavior. Keywords: depression, social rank, interpersonal dependency; risk taking Introduction In several species, individuals compete for resources and social rank (Moosa & Ud-Dean, 2011). Ritualistic agonistic encounters often determine the winners and losers of these competitions and form the basis for relationships in the wider social hierarchy (Kaufmann, 1983). Accurate assessment of current social position (Fournier, 2009), assisted through social comparisons with others (Buunk, & Brenninkmeijer, 2000), allows individuals to predict the threat posed by potential competitors and the likelihood of success or defeat. Whilst the importance of the physical ability to retain resources (Resource Holding Potential, Parker, 1974) may have decreased during evolutionary history, prestige and the attributes valued by society (Social Attention Holding Potential, Gilbert, 1992) continue to provide access to valued resources (Gilbert, 1997).

Social rank theory (SRT) suggests depression stems from feelings of defeat and entrapment that ensue from perceiving oneself of lower rank than others. This study aims to review the literature investigating the relationship between self-perceptions of social rank and depressive symptoms or suicidal ideation/behaviour.

  • Declawing Ostrich Chicks (Struthio Camelus) to Minimize Skin Damage
    South African Journal of Animal Science 2002, 32(3) 192 © South African Society for Animal Science Declawing ostrich (Struthio camelus domesticus) chicks to minimize skin damage during rearing A. Meyer1,3,#, S.W.P. Cloete2 C.R. Brown3,* and S.J. van Schalkwyk1 ¹Klein Karoo Agricultural Development Centre, P.O. Box 351, Oudtshoorn 6620, South Africa ²Elsenburg Agricultural Development Centre, Private Bag X1, Elsenburg 7607, South Africa ³School of Animal, Plant & Environmental Sciences, University of the Witwatersrand, Private Bag 3, Wits 2050, South Africa Abstract Leather is one of the main products derived from ostrich farming. Current rearing practices lead to a high incidence of skin damage, which decreases the value of ostrich skins. In the emu and poultry industry, declawing is commonly practiced to reduce skin damage and injuries. We consequently investigated declawing of ostrich chicks as a potential management practice to minimize skin lesions that result from claw injuries. A group of 140 day-old ostriches was declawed and a second group of 138 chicks served as the control. The two groups were reared separately to slaughter, but were rotated monthly between adjacent feedlot paddocks to minimize possible paddock effects. Overall, the declawed group had fewer scratch and kick marks on the final processed skin than the control group, which resulted in the proportion of first grade skins in the declawed group being more than twice that of the control group. Behavioural observations at nine and 13 months of age indicated that declawing resulted in no impairment in locomotive ability or welfare. There was a tendency for the declawed group to have higher average live weights towards the end of the growing-out phase that resulted in a 3.7% higher average skin area at slaughter than in the control group.

  • The Association Between Involuntary Subordination and Common Mental
    Zhang et al. BMC Psychiatry (2019) 19:369 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12888-019-2329-7 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access The association between involuntary subordination and common mental disorders among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shanghai, China Shuxian Zhang1†, Suping Wang1†, Zezhou Wang1, Ying Wang1, Xueqin Jiang1, Gang Xu1* and Yong Cai1,2* Abstract Background: Involuntary subordination is a mechanism that switches off fighting behaviors when a losing organism is unable to continue in a struggle. The study aim was to investigate the association between involuntary subordination and the common mental disorders of anxiety and depression among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Shanghai, China. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted of 547 MSM in four Shanghai districts. Sociodemographic and psychosocial participant data were collected. Logistic regression was used to assess the association between anxiety, depression, and involuntary subordination. Results: 12.2 and 30.9% Of the MSM demonstrated high levels of anxiety and depression respectively. Univariate analysis showed that involuntary subordination and the involuntary subordination constructs of defeat, social comparison, submissive behavior, and entrapment were associated with anxiety and depression. Multivariate analysis indicated that defeat (ORm = 1.091, 95% CI =1.004–1.185) and entrapment (ORm = 1.174, 95% CI =1.079–1.278) were significantly associated with anxiety. Defeat (ORm = 1.265, 95% CI = 1.166–1.372), social comparison (ORm = 1.119, 95% CI =1.061–1.181), entrapment (ORm =1.132,95%CI =1.047–1.224), and submissive behavior (ORm = 0.897, 95% CI = 0.825–0.975) were significantly associated with depression.
